Treasures of The Deep.

A demo disk I got (from Pizza Hut?) back in the day was worth its weight for the music. You could put the disc in a CD player and play the music straight. The song it had from this game was the first one listed (along with songs from other games on the disk). I later bought the game for 2$, as I lost the demo disk.

that's just one, the soundtrack for this game and it's predecessor are fantastic. this song sticks out because it was playing during the first preview i saw for this game.

 

[Electric Grave]

Wow, what a great thread! I've been listening to a lot of the links provided, very cool! I wish I had something to add, but I just wanted to say thanks.

Between the time I mentioned Spriggan Powered and a couple days ago when I uploaded the soundtrack to YouTube - someone else had already done the same. Doh! There's more tracks than listed here . . . these are easy to digest.

I can still most of the music from games I played as a kid in arcades or console.

Komani mastered composition of the 8-bit and 16-bit era.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time - Going Up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMKYwZvcsaI&p=B5E8D48036069B0E&playnext=1&index=51

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time - Sewer Surfin'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMPYCfZgkcA&feature=related

Never forget the day I heard this theme as kid. Gets my heart racing even now.

Megaman 2 - Staff Roll
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDw4f1gdQVo

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - Forest Maze
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkailb3xcTI


Never had a huge SEGA collection (or even ever own the console) but this is a good remix to pretty cool theme:

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Mystic Cave (Remix - Strip Mine)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgr7SZwhMW4

Annnnnd if you haven't heard of this game or the band you should check them out. Good stuff.
