* The arcade versions of ''{{Gradius}}'' and ''{{Twinbee}}'' used a type of magnetic "bubble memory" that required the machine to literally warm up to a certain temperature, a process taking over a minute and a half. That's a long time for an arcade operator to wait, so thus, while the machines booted, they played [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEueYGq2mT4 a catchy little baroque tune]] known as "Morning Music".

* ''{{Battletoads}}''. No surprise, really; it's by David Wise, who'd go on three years later to compose some music for [[AwesomeMusic/DonkeyKongCountry a little series involving a giant ape and his simian sidekick]]. Even the short loop that plays while the game is ''paused'' rocks.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYEblYwTeNc Robo Warrior]] for the NES had great music. However, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gGFeiT6NgE this]] piano version is arguably better than the original.

**** Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW8byCf_Crw Fester's Quest]]; [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames as bad as it was]], it still managed to go BeyondTheImpossible and give an epic soundtrack to a game based on The AddamsFamily. The ''TV series''-- not TheMovie, which came out after the game.

* Power Blade, a relatively obscure game featuring a boomerang-throwing Arnold-esque main character from Taito features some pretty kickass music. Here's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb9QZCzb-QM Sector 1]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BkQDqTYFiU Sector 5]].

** To say nothing of AwesomeMusic/TimFollin's work on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ses2wOj43pU Chronos]] for the same system. To take a system as primitive as the ''Spectrum'' and make music like this is a freaking ''accomplishment''. Granted, to the uninitiated it'll sound like angry robot bees, but get used to the sound and it's fantastic.

* BlasterMaster for the NES was quite a popular game back then. It also had a very cool soundtrack. While it has been remixed before, there is only one that stands out from the rest. A Medley by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdG_MIEh9rI Vomitron]] is the most epic, so much it will make you sad when the remixed credits music ends.

* ZXSpectrum has the music from the {{Dizzy}} games, but of particular note is Fantasy World Dizzy and Spellbound Dizzy. In-game music from those.
