Anything from Hyper Light Drifter. Actually anything DisasterPeace. This is a gameplay video, (it's from an Alpha) but if you don't want to see play-footage, don't click.

 
Secret of Evermore's music is really nice. Very relaxing. Most if not all of it was made by Jeremy Soule. When Squaresoft was in Redmond while they were making this game, I used to go hang out in the offices there with a friend who was one of the programmers. Hung out in Jeremy's studio a few times, played on their SGI Iris Indigo machine a bit, played Heretic on their LAN, etc. :D Was a lot of fun. Got to see some of this game being built. This is still one of my favorite SNES games. It's also interesting to see what Jeremy has gone on to do.

 
Here's a good one. The rest of the game's music is great too.

 
I never owned a Amiga played on one at a Friends house in the 90s for a bit but I love Pygnosis game music this game is Agony
 
Agony was a fun game. I remember my family went on a trip to Vancouver BC from Seattle, and I saw it in a computer shop up there. Bought it, and just had to stare at the box for the rest of the trip until we got home. It was torture! :D
 
So many good ones already listed. Anything from Diablo, Final Fantasy, TES, or Legend of Zelda is usually pretty amazing. Since it's already been posted, I'll throw something new into the mix. World of Warcraft had a mind blowing soundtrack in my opinion. Only played up through the second expansion, but there are plenty of awesome tracks to be found in that game.

Karazhan was my one of my most enjoyable moments in the game, awesome atmosphere and the music tied it all together perfectly.



Grizzly Hills had some legit music as well, probs my favorite arrangements in the game.



There are plenty of other good ones, I could go on all day listing them, but those are the two that mean the most to me.

I'm actually kinda shocked no one mentioned Metro 2033 though, that had some good tunes.

 
Matt Uelmen did the Diablo Music he did a collaboration on Warcraft's burning cursade soundtrack.
 
MechWarrior 2 remains my absolute favorite sound track. Funny how it's stuck with me for 21 years. I wish this series was still around. It saddens me every time my retro gaming rigs are hauled out. :(


MechWarrior 3 was also pretty amazing

I thought this was a tough call coming in, but one of the first things that came to mind to me were some of the old Mech 2 things.

+1
 
The NES version of Tiger Heli is playing the music way too fast. I played the original in the Arcade:

 
Quite possible one of the first internet memes, but godamn this music was wicked.



 
Opening this thread brings my browser to a crawl until it fully loads. WTF have you guys done?

I broke your browser and HardOCP with post # 65. Enjoy - it took me several hours to make. I don't like most of the music posted in this thread, so I thought that I'd raise the bar a little. :p
 
There is only one way to fix it. Add more videos. :p

I LOVE C64 SID music, and Yamaha YM based FM music. (and OPL by proxy) All those old arcade games, genesis games, etc. I much prefer synthesized music to sampled in most cases. The Amiga is kind of exception. It was in the right place at the right time, and was my introduction to digital music and samples.
