Oooh, hard to pick from the old Hewson days... Uridium, Alleykat, Morpheus...

Wizball had some amazing music actually. In fact, the Commodore 64 had by far the best sound chip of its era.

The american/european version I hope, the Japanese soundtrack to Castlevania II sucked ass with the exception of silence of daylight.

Anyway, I would defintely add Mega Man 3 and 4 to this list as well as the Japanese version of Castlevania III and the two Metal Gear games on MSX. Oh, and Duck Tales on NES.

One that comes to mind is Kraid's theme in the original Metroid, in addition to those pokeymanz ones mentioned.

There are so many but Battletoads just might win based on the pause music alone.

Battletoads had the best music in their era.

All of the levels actually.

I actually did a multi-track recording of the Wily theme posted earlier on my violin. It's badass.

That brings back some fond memories. Ghosts & Goblins and Battletoads are the only games that ever made me damage my console.

Imo, The Spring Yard Zone in Sonic and the password song for Megaman 3 are my wins.

Correction, Battletoads had SOME of the best music in the era, not THE best. There are some 8 bit tunes out there that are better than the music in battletoads, but meh, all comes down to personal opinion.
