Awesome Music/Fifth Generation

This is the Awesome Music page for the Nintendo 64, Play Station 1, Sega Saturn, Game Boy Color, etc.

---

• Pilotwings 64 has THIS
• The Port of Adia from Turok 2. Also, the opening theme remains awesome to this day.
  • River of Souls. Hive of the Mantids. Primagen's Lightship. The Lair of the Blind Ones.
  • The original Turok Dinosaur Hunter game also has some pretty cool music in stuff like the Jungle, the Treetop Village, The Lost Land, The Catacombs, and the T-Rex Battle are also awesome tunes to listen to.
• The Hag 1 in Banjo-Tooie.
  • And the final battle from the first game was much more impressive, as it is a hectic remixed version of the standard Gruntilda's Lair theme played throughout the entire game. Banjo-Tooie also has Mr. Patch's fight theme.
  • Familiar tracks turned into full-fledged boss battle themes. Banjo-Tooie's boss battles all did this, but Mingi Jongo did it best.
  • Targitzan's theme.
  • Isn't the total of Banjo-Kazooie's soundtrack for each (thus far non-portable) game a masterpiece for its time in gaming history?
  • Click Clock Wood - Spring and Freezeezy Peak are so awesome that they are avaliable in Nuts and Bolts (whose regular soundtrack uses a full orchestra) through the Jukebox part unchanged and unremixed. Because they're that awesome.
  • Rusty Bucket Bay
  • Witchyworld, along with its variations.
  • Let's not forget the Hub World of the first game Gruntilda's Lair as creepy as the music sounds it's still plain awesome.
  • Mumbo Magic.
  • No Atlantis love?!
• PEPSII MAAAAANNNNNN
• Bomberman 64 had Credits music that's so awesome, simply hearing it as the credits roll makes you feel like you accomplished something, no matter whether or not you actually got to the Bonus Level.
  • The Bonus Level's music is rather pleasing. Too bad it's really a Bonus Level of Hell.
  • And let's not forget the music from the Blue Resort level, the Red Mountain level, and, Who can forget the Green Garden level muslc? Oh, and the Black City level music gives the feeling of a futuristic level.
  • Bomberman should have its own page. Between the aforementioned Bomberman 64 tracks, Bomberman HEROs Redial and other tunes, and most of Saturn Bombermans soundtrack, your ears will be in bliss.
• Diddy Kong Racing: Star City, also used for Spacedust Alley in the original game. The other tracks in Future Fun Land are awesome, too. And don't forget Wizpig's Races. Then again, the soundtrack is filled with Crowning Music of Awesome.
  • Don't forget the Boss Races either!
  • Or the N64 Jungle Falls theme, which became the DS remake's ending credits music. The DS Jungle Falls theme has its own appeal.
  • Even the character select music was awesome. Even better was how it changed styles when you moved your cursor over a different character.
    • Backing the character select is the Intro theme, which takes the character styles idea and runs with it. It makes Drumstick, a chicken, look Badass, although that's also helped by the video somewhat.
  • Don't forget the awesome stage select music.
  • Walrus Cove. That is all.
• As befits a thoroughly awesome video game, GoldenEye is overflowing with amazing remixes of the James Bond theme for each level. Just a few examples: The Latin flavoured Aztec, the pulse-pounding Cradle, the creepy Statue Park, and last but not least, the epic Depot and Train themes.
  • You forget the fast paced action level Silo, which was pretty catchy at first, but add a bit of remix to it, and it goes up to 12!
  • Other James Bond games have had some pretty fantastic music; Nightfire had the amazing "Nearly Civilised", set to a great title sequence, but the true CMOA has to be the incredible music that plays during the escape from the Phoenix Building. It's made of bongos, saxophone, wailing trumpets, and WIN. Listen to it here. Everything or Nothing had a soundtrack composed by Sean Callery, which should tell you all you need to know. But if that isn't enough, it also features a truly sexy jazz version of the main theme by Mya. Hot.
    • The one in the Byelomorye Dam. Seriously, don't say that doesn't tense up your nerves!
• Perfect Dark, strangely enough, plays what is easily its most exciting and blood-pumping music during the end credits. That being said, it's more than worth completing the single-player missions just so you can unlock that tune for your multiplayer matches.
  • And one of the runner-ups plays during the pause menu. Go figure...
  • The Chicago theme. But like Goldeneye before it, Perfect Dark had some incredible music. A couple of runners up are Crash Site Confrontation, dataDyne Action, Pelagic II Exploration, Airbase Espionage, and Area 51 Escape.
    • • Really, there are almost too many awesome songs to mention. Almost.
        • Even the music that got cut out was awesome.
          • This remix of Crash Site: Confrontation takes everything awesome about that track and turns it up to eleven.
• Impact's theme from Mystical Ninja for N64.
  • Kai Highway from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.
  • But nothing beats Gorgeous My Stage
  • The opening theme.
  • The music from the second half of the Gorgeous Musical Castle.
  • Three flavors of awesome from the Gourmet Submarine.
  • The boss music from the second and third castles.
  • Mutsu. Just... Mutsu.
  • With a theme this awesome, even giant peach-shaped battleships are badass.
• With an epic plot, epic characters, Nintendo Hard gameplay, it must be said that the entire music of Vagrant Story is equally epic. Again, Hitoshi Sakimoto at the helm. For battle themes, try "Ifrit", or better yet that battle theme against wyverns!. For dungeon themes, try listening to "Catacombs", or "Undercity". On a rainy night. Alone.
  • And your reward for surviving those creepy levels and that NH gameplay is some of the greatest credits music ever. You can skip to 3:45 if you want but the buildup is worth it. Also, it helps to have played the game because hearing the motif at 4:25 subtly peppered throughout the rest of the game makes it that much more amazing to hear it in all its resplendent orchestral glory here.
• Star Ocean: The Second Story has as one of its highlights Field of Expel.
  • Not to mention the chilling credits theme We Form in Crystals.
  • Don't forget, this is the game that gave us the first version of Incarnation of the Devil. And by extension, all of its remixes.
  • Mission to the Deep Space is another first for Tri-Ace games. It begins with a series of rising notes that literally crowns before breaking into the real meat of the song. Later versions even top this with electric guitars and saxophones.
  • ...all of which pales before Rena's theme song, Ocean of Tears, as well as the music box version, and Lose One's Illusions, the "Welcome to Energy Nede" version.
  • Well there's one more... Stab The Sword Of Justice, the battle theme.
  • Speaking of battle themes, Integral Body and Imperfect Soul...the remixed version. There aren't many games out there with battle themes that have the kind of power and ferocity that this one does.
• Frank Klepacki also did the soundtracks for Westwood's Dune games. Dune 2000 gave us "Harkonnen Battle" and "Rise of the Harkonnen," while Frank also did the Atreides soundtrack from Emperor: Battle for Dune, including the triumphant "Ride the Worm" and haunting "The Spice Must Flow".
  • He faced fierce competition in the form of the Harkonnen soundtrack composer, David Arkenstone. He granted everyone's favorite evil barony a heavy metal, industrial sound: listen to "Harkonnen Force", "Tribute to Evil", "The Machine", "Surrounded," "Unstoppable", and "Legacy," which feels a bit like an audio homage to the 1984 film.
  • Finally, Jarrid Mendelson, who did House Ordos, made some rather creepy techno for the wealthy plutocrats, like "Not An Option", "The Strategist", "Ghola", and "Dream of the Executrix".
  • If we mention Dune at all, one of the greatest Crowning Moments of Awesome Music has to be the intro sequence for the original Dune adventure/strategy game. Here is the PC version of the intro, which is easily one of the best Sci-Fi inspirational themes ever produced. In fact, the ENTIRE music for the game was so well-accepted, that it was one of the first games to have its soundtrack sold separately as an album. It is now extremely rare, but is still sold in some on-line stores, almost two decades after its release!
• Stéphane Picq is one of the least mentioned talented videogame composer out there considering the work he did for the original Dune game by Cryo Entertainment. Ecolove & Chani's Eyes.
  • Also check the work he did for the game Lost Eden (Tamara)
• The funniest and best track of Conker's Bad Fur Day (right next to Conker the King reprise) the track that plays during the Sloprano chapter, The Great Mighty Poo's song.
  • Lets not forget Windy, The uggas, Heist, and The orcastra part of the great mighty poo
  • And the surprisingly sad ending theme. It will shock you, even if just a little bit.
• Baladium's Drive from Klonoa: Door to Phantomile certainly deserves mention.
  • As do Jugpot Falls, Count Three, Beats From Above, The Ruin's Air (which has a nice reprise of the game's theme), Red Heat Coronia... yeah, it's an awesome and underrated soundtrack.
• Continuing the venerable tradition of awesome music in the Seiken Densetsu series, Yoko Shimomura's soundtrack for Legend of Mana is arguably Shimomura's own, real-life Crowning Moment of Awesome. From the Opening to Daedal's Organ to Cliffside Town, The Darkness Nova, all of the main storyline boss themes, and of course the sheer badassery of The Gloaming, this soundtrack is pretty much made of Awesome.
  • Don't forget "Song of Mana", one of the best ending tunes ever.
  • One cannot possibly forget to mention Cities of Flickering Destruction. Doubly so for the Drammatica edition.
• Twisted Metal 2. For example, it actually puts together a mix of "Frère Jacques" that will get you in the mood to just snap and totally wail on everything!
  • Well, what about the theme on Holland stage? Still one of the best Hot-Blooded 'country' music which sets the mood to crush EVERYTHING in sight.
  • No love for Dark Tooth?
  • Antarctica. Perfectly fits the tension and fear that the platform you're on is gonna plummet to an icy death.
• "If You Still Believe," the theme of Legend of Dragoon. Most of the music in the game was nothing special, mostly average with the occasional nice song. But that song is just absolutely beautiful.
• The soundtrack Niel Voss did for Tetrisphere. It must be heard to be believed, especially for something coming out of an N64!
  • Prophetic is another cool track from this
  • Zyp Zyp
• Wave Race 64 is somehow still missing.
• Understandably it didn't get much of a circulation, so not many people have heard it... but the soundtrack for Panzer Dragoon Saga is incredible. Try "Atolm Dragon", "Rest", "Town of Zoah", or the main battle theme, "Transformation 1" on for size.
• Takayuki Negishi's work on Bloody Roar. Long's themes from the PS 1 games, for starters.
• The main theme of the Gran Turismo series, Moon Over the Castle, composed by guitarist Masahiro Andoh of the famous Japanese jazz fusion band T-Square, is perhaps one of the most certifiably epic intro themes for any game, and has only gotten better with each incarnation of the series. A shame the Sony seems to enjoy ripping the amazing original soundtracks out of the Gran Turismo games in the Western and European releases, instead replacing them with licensed garbage. The aforementioned T-Square performs this song under the title Knight's Song.
• Thought you could escape epic JAM Project( member)-created Getter Robo themes by staying out of the anime section? Nope. Turns out that Masaaki Endo did the OP for Getter Robo Daikessen. Hope you enjoy your hot-blooded earworm.
• The Ray series of Shmups has awesome soundtracks, what with them being composed by Tamayo Kawamoto (of Taito's in-house music group, Zuntata) and all.
  • Molecular Clock, the music for RayStorm's Stage 5 and 6 bosses is both this and Nightmare Fuel.
  • The last part of the song "Vit Symty" in Ray Crisis. That is, the song played if you start with the "Emotion" stage. Also, the Ominous Pipe Organ music during the True Final Boss battle.
  • G, the Ray Force stage 2 music. A lovely tune to cruise through space to.
    • Cracking! gets you pumped for the game's later stages.
• Stab and Stomp!, the air boss music from Battle Garegga. The Batrider rearrangement is pretty good too.
• Ganbare!! Teikoku Kagekidan!! (Do Your Best!! Imperial Elite Strike Force!!) ^{[dead link]} ) from Sakura Wars, which also doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
  • There are MANY examples in the series. From theme songs that are actual full fledged songs (spanning many genres), to normal battle music that actually seems to be HAPPY. But one of the ultimate Crowning Music of Awesome in video games simply must be the final battle to the second game -- it's a total epic, minor key, tarantelle of a piano concerto that with the bad guy theme as a lietmotif, and even tosses in a sinister harpsichord in a slow interlude.
• From Ape Escape comes the theme to TV tower, you're running around a tall building(In a tank in one area of the level and blowing up things) and the music feels like you ran into one of those TV broadcasting stations, the music just FITS.
  • The Trick Castle/Crumbling Castle music as well.
  • The entirety of Ape Escape's soundtrack is pure concentrated win, but special mention goes to the epicness that is Galaxy Monkey!
• The Naughty Dog-era Crash Bandicoot games. Let's start by linking to all three versions of Cortex's theme from the platformers.
  • And of course, the third game also gave creation of Crash's own Leitmotif. It would be remade several times afterwards.
  • Just in case you are interested, this is the theme used in the Japanese games.
• Whatever your feelings on the game itself, you must agree that Michael Giacchino's score for the PS 1 Lost World: Jurassic Park game was better in some ways than John Williams' score for the film. Bonus points for being the FIRST video game to use a full orchestral score.
• One of the best traditional RPGs on the Saturn, Albert Odyssey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67_ekpqADTc
  • In particular the First Main Theme is beautiful
• Joker's Room from Fighter's Destiny, which had better be awesome due to how often you'll be hearing it.
• Practically the entire damn soundtrack from G-Darius, but special mention has to go to B.T. Dutch, Kimera II and Adam.
• From Pac-Man World, Under Pressure is an incredibly catchy tune fitting very nicely with the factory stage of the game.
  • Far Out and its remix for the next level, Gimme Space, are some of the best bloopy-sounding space themes ever.
  • Pac-Man World 2 has the Ghost Island theme its variations.
• A particularly obscure one : Kiss in the Dark, the japanese opening to the fighting game Evil Zone.
• Passing Through The Forest from Threads of Fate. A nice peaceful song.
• A real obscure one is most of the soundtrack to the game Spider, which is awesome enough of being an experimental gun-and-knife wielding spider, but having some of the most kickass unheard of music on the PS 1. Such as the Boxes/Machine Room level music.
• Frogger 3D (also known as Frogger: He's Back!) has "Airshow Antics", while the sequel (Swampy's Revenge) has the Laboratory theme.
• "Kline's Dream" from Alundra.
  • "Ra's Underground Hideout" too.
• Alundra 2 has the second boss battle theme.
• How they did it, no one will ever know... but the terribly-designed Yu-Gi-Oh!: Forbidden Memories has several bits of awesome music scattered throughout it. Preliminary Match comes to mind...
  • There's plenty more. Seto Kaiba has a battle theme exclusive to him, and it is amazing.
  • Not to mention Finals. Gotta love those drums, and that electric guitar is just awesome.
• On the topic of Yu-Gi-Oh! games, Duelist of the Roses brings several of its own amazing duel themes: Computer Battle, Yorkist Battle, Lancastrian Battle, Seto's Battle, a remix of Yugi's Gameboy battle theme, and a remix of Bakura's Gameboy battle theme.
  • Cutscene tracks are good too, especially Mako's Theme, Kaiba's Theme, Yugi's Manor, Yugi's Ascension, and Seto's Ambition.
  • Hell, the TITLE SCREEN music is incredible.
• Einhander: Thermosphere.
  • And Shudder. And Afterimage. And... well, practically the entire Einhander soundtrack.
• Assault Rigs: Every single goddamn track.
• Make your way across a town in the original Medal of Honor. Yes, finding a dead pilot is made that epic by orchestral music.
  • And while Taking Out The Railgun.
  • The Jet Aircraft Facility. WOW.
• DAY-TO-NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
  • And "Sky High", also from Daytona USA. Too bad it's only played on the Scrappy Level.
  • "JEE. AY. EM. EE. OH. VOO. EE. AHR. JEE AY EM EE OH VOO EE AHR GAME OVER GAME OVER GAME OVER GAME OVER!"
• Valkyrie Profile also has quite a few great pieces. In particular, the track Turn a New Leaf that plays prior to every boss fight. And the two battle music tracks - Confidence in the Domination and Fighting the Shadowy Gods.
  • Celestial Troupe. No more needed to be said.
• Say what you will about the actual gameplay, but the music in Animorphs Shattered Reality is AWESOME! Especially the swamp level music, which can be heard here.
• "The Musashi Legend" from Brave Fencer Musashi (linked to in the Fanfare page).
  • "Twinpeak Mountain". It sounds like a piece from a western.
• No respect for the Duke?
  • And let us not forget Megadeth's rendition of the Duke's theme.
  • Even after a decade, this still reminds us to always bet on Duke.
  • The first tune in Episode 4. "Someone's gonna friggin pay for screwing up my vacation!!"--TRALALALALALA~
  • Manhattan Project went back to the original side scrolling roots with a pretty good main theme.
• Tekken 3, especially the PSX songs. The themes for Xiayou, Forest Law, Eddy Gordo and Nina are probably the ones that stand out most.
• It's Ridge Racer.
  • Samurai Rocket, from Ridge Racer V.
  • Ridge Racer from the very first game.
  • Silver Stream, from the spinoff Rage Racer.
  • Move Me, from Ridge Racer Type 4.
  • Synthetic Life, from Ridge Racers (the PSP version, released as Ridge Racer in the US).
• "Autumn Sky/Womanheart" (the sky island theme) in Ogre Battle, and "Flute-Playing Archfiend" (AKA "Blasphemous Experiment"), Nybbas's battle theme from Tactics Ogre.
• The titular song in Bust A Groove. (Bust A Move in Japan - while in the USA there was already a game by that name)
  • It seems criminal to mention Bust A Groove without giving props to The Natural Playboy.
• From the Legacy of Kain series, we have:
  • Blood Omen: Most of the tunes stand out, but Nupraptor's Theme is where it's at. Ominous chanting, ominous main melody, and then you hear Ariel's scream.
  • Soul Reaver: The main theme, Ozar Midrashim. While not made especially for the game, it's still a fantastic tune, going from epic to melancholic and back.
• Technically, they're not video game-exclusive, but a lot of the real-world college fight songs that appear in the NCAA Football series are quite epic.
• The opening theme to the Dating Sim Tokimeki Memorial. Seriously. If the Ear Worm tune isn't enough, just wait for the guitar solo...
  • There are jazz/prog-rock remixes of the music in the game. You heard that right. Jazz/prog-rock remixes of dating sim music. And it's awesome.
• The Hydra Prime is nothing short of awesome.
  • The soundtrack to 3 surpasses it's predecessor by a mile. Hand-picked by the Ministry of Sound. Here's an example.
    • The soundtrack isn't the only reason the original is still the best, but it helps.
• Rayman. The continue music has a nice jazzy touch and the music can go from joyous to creepy in a heartbeat.
  • Especially levels such as Band Land, The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava and The Desert of the Knaaren.
• The Syphon Filter Theme Tune, particularly in the first three games and Omega Strain.
  • Best tunes from the second game: Club 32, Prison Escape/Biolab Escape, Pharcom Expo and its alert version, Rocky Mountains, Train, Intro Cutscene/Credits
  • The Omega Strain version of the main theme and the AIT Action themes from Dark Mirror are made of pure win.
  • In Omega Strain, Quarantine Zone, Warehouse District Action, Carthage Mall Action, St. Cetteo Square, Belaya Vezha Action, and the Krivorozhstal Mill boss theme(Ominous Russian Chanting) among others, are made of win too.
  • Washington Park Danger Theme. Awesome music for a crowning level of awesome.
    • Even better, Pharcom Warehouses.
• The soundtrack to San Francisco Rush 2049, especially, Hidden, Wingey, The Rock 2049, Flyer, and Daytime.
• Die Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas: Much of the soundtrack (produced by BT), especially Prison Cell Block, Prison Banquet Hall, Desert Highway, Desert Gunfight, Desert Bunker, Vegas Downtown, Bio Lab, Dam Driving, Hotel Strip, Reese, and Nemesis.
• Time Crisis has two pieces which deserve mention. The first is the theme for series villain Wild Dog (Time Crisis 3 version presented here), which is instantly familiar to anyone who's played the games. The second is the final boss music in Time Crisis 3, complete with ominous chanting and bells. It works because of the tension in both actual play and the storyline: Big Bad Giorgio Zott comes at you with duel-wielding a submachine gun and a sword (wielding both with deadly effectiveness), and is backed by mooks AND TANKS. He also just initiated the launch sequence for missiles which will wipe out a Mediterranean county if they fire. All you're thinking is that you have to kill the SOB before an entire nation ceases to exist.
• The Main Theme of the Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move series is pretty catchy
• The entire soundtrack to the game Wild 9 represents some of Tommy Tallarico's finest work. A shame the game is so hopelessly obscure. In particular, the Beast Engine stage theme is just all kinds of awesome.
• Spider-Man for the Nintendo 64 and PS 1 had some cool music. The main menu probably counts as an Ear Worm as well, as it's a short loop sampled from the second of these two songs.
• Zero Divide: Most of the soundtrack is pretty good, but the real standouts are A Nation of Poison, The Power Beat, Waiting for the Sound of Thunder and Fate.
• Top Gear Rally had some pretty cool music for both the American and the Japanese/European versions. The Main Menu Theme, the Desert, and the Jungle.
• EA sure did have awesome music for their sports games (at least for hockey and Basketball) back then. With rockin' songs like this, this, and this for the NHL, and funky stuff like this, this, and this for the NBA, it'll make you wonder why EA doesn't do music like this in their games anymore.
• We all know that the F-Zero series is known for its awesome music, but only the Japanese ended up having songs like Regeneration, Rollercoaster, and Big Foot on their F-Zero X game, and that's because they ended up getting its expansion pack. Hell, even the Rainbow Road theme is better than the song in the normal F-Zero X game, and that's because it's a cover of the Rainbow Road song from Mario Kart 64!
• SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula may have fallen victim to The Problem with Licensed Games, but it did have some great music.
• No mention of Snowboard Kids?! There were a lot of great tracks in that game, particularly Big Snowman, Night Highway, and SILVER MOUNTAIN.
  • The sequel had some amazing ones, too:
    • Sunny Mountain
    • Jingle Town
    • Starlight Highway
    • Ice Land, and its remix when facing the Damien Robot.
• 1080 Snowboarding. The songs for Mountain Village, Golden Forest, and Dragon's Cave are all awesome, with the song in the middle being a part of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl soundtrack.
• Psychic Force's music is some of the best. For example: Burning Storm, the theme of Burn Griffith and Carry Over!, the theme of Sonia
• Suikoden II Starts out with The Teaser ending in an 'Inevitable Waterfall. As the heroes jump, Reminiscence begins to play. It is sure to play again whenever something is going to become heartrending
  • Gothic Neclord aka possibly the best dance track that cold ever play while you are killing an evil vampire.
  • When an army battle opts for Battlefield Without Light over the standard theme (or silence in the US version), you know it's an important one.
• "In a dream I can see/You are not far away. Any time, any place/I can see your face."
• The fittingly ironic ending theme of Killing Time.
• No mention of the original Virtual On yet...? OMG!! She's Lost Control because you haven't! Fly Into the Blue Sky while The Wind Is Blowing before she trashes you into pieces of Ruins and you Fade To Black...!!!
• The full soundtrack to EA's Soviet Strike
• From the AMAZING Virtual Boy game Galactic Pinball: MOONMAN's Fandango
• The Custom Battle music from the original Custom Robo.
• Mortal Kombat Trilogy, anyone? Themes like the pulse-pounding Character Selection and Rooftop, as well as the epic Temple come to mind. There are many more awesome songs in the series; this should have its own page.
• The intro for Treasures of the Deep.
  • That particular piece is also the theme music for the level "Safe Passage", where you escort a U.S Navy Carrier Group to battle at the Big Bad's secret base. It's one of the more challenging missions in the game, and a frustrating Escort Mission, but the music really helps to get across how epic this all is. The rest of the music aint half bad either.
• In This World from Mr. Bones, a song that has been compared to Pink Floyd
• Coolboarders 2. This game is one of those simple ones with a knack for being good and have great music. Take The Red Hot Mamma, Mr. Rain, Lynch Law, and Tranzy as examples.
• South Park Rally, of all things, has March in the Big Gay Parade. It's the kind of patriotic jingle that makes Stan Smith proud to be american.
• Driver has the Main Theme, Miami Escape at Night, San Francisco at Day, Los Angeles at Night, Los Angeles Escape at Night, New York Escape at Day, New York at Night and the unused Los Angeles Escape at Day. Driver 2 has Chicago at Night,Chicago Escape at Night, Havana Escape at Day, Havana Escape at Night, Las Vegas at Day, Las Vegas Escape at Day and Rio Escape at Day.
• Sin and Punishment. In particular: Agave, Blood Infactor and especially this one: Heroine 'a'
• Regardless of the game itself (which was actually pretty decent), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the GBC had some really cool music. the boss theme, for example.
  • Also from the console and PC versions: Diagon Alley (Menu theme in the PC version)
• Arc the Lad II: "Music Man" might not be an exciting piece of music, but it is wonderfully composed and absolutely gorgeous.
