I'll start off with Raiden II's Repeated Tragedy.

A local restaurant had this game, and every time we went, I'd beg my parents for money so that I could play it. I wasn't very good at the game, so I never got past the first stage, and so I heard this song a lot. Really gives me nostalgia.

Also got to shout out Streets, from Timesplitters too. I put a lot of time into this game as a kid, and this song is what got me into futurepop (love me some VNV Nation).

Played River City Ransom with a friend and it got to a point where we simply could not ignore the vibes of the Streets theme.

The entire ULTRAKILL soundtrack. great mix of metal and breakbeat.

Hard to pick one track so might as well begin at the start:

Into the Fire

Mythic Power from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. At risk of sounding like a redditor, it's easily the most epic track from a game's OST I've ever heard.

@mechwarrior2@hexbear.net alright this is our time to shine

for burned into brain it's definitely chiptune music from NES games I played as a kid like:

Big Nose the Caveman - Level 2

Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy - Pirate Ship

The Jetsons - Cogswells Caper! Level 1

also I guess the Quake 3 Rocket Arena 3 theme from back in the day

when parts of this or this come on while playing ESO in the Morrowind region it feels special

There's also a lot of game music I like but from games I never played so I won't list any of those

I listen to a lot of game soundtracks at work. Atm, this song is stuck in my head because so many YouTubers/streamers play it: Steam Gardens - Super Mario Odyssey

been listening to Repeated Tragedy, good one

Good song: Fear Mountain Shrine ambient track from Shadows of Valentia OST. Really sets the mood for the dungeon, and it makes it that much better that the dungeon is windy and massive. If Fire Emblem brought back dungeons, they have a model to work off of.

Bad song: The HORRIBLE Fire Emblem Engage Anime Opening song. I don't want to remember this song and I wish I had never heard it. If you say "Emblem, Engage!" to anybody who listened to that song before, it will play in their heads as you both collapse to the ground.

I stumbled on the OST for the unreleased Jazz Jackrabbit 3 recently, and I keep playing this track every now and again, it's such a banger. This whole subgenre from Epic Games' early efforts (and stuff those composers did for other companies) is really cool, I with there more games beyond the Unreals and Deus Ex with that style. This track from Unreal 2 is another great one

The cut Downtown theme from Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, it's just such a vibe

Fertile Rondo from Bayonetta 3 is also just chefs-kiss, great 5th Element vibes

Brain Freeze from Yuri's Revenge, I miss the "just stick some old movie/TV quotes in" era of electronic music

This track from Descent (this particular recording off a Roland SC-55, I'm pretty sure I originally found it on youtube but it seems like that upload may have been taken down, and a lot of the other ones I could find don't sound as good)

The whole Neotokyo soundtrack really, just an absolute masterpiece composed for a free mod for some reason. Some standouts: Beacon, Imbrium, Tachi, I just absolutely love the combination of more electronic sounds with strings and piano in a lot of these.

On the more ambient side of things, STALKER has some great ones, Call of Pripyat especially, like the Pripyat theme
