Best Game Music, Old Skool

[Scutch]

Opinions on great in-game music from games of old?

I would say UN Squadron on the SNES was superb. I remember in Mean Machines magazine where the Sound got a 95% or so. Class.

Obviously Tetris for other reasons, it being so damn catchy!

super Mario Bros or mario kart.

Or goldeneye on the 64!! Class.!!

Streets of Rage - megadrive
