Yars Revenge

-Howard Scott Warshaw/John Braden
Some of the sweetest 6-bit audio effects ever made.

Frogger

-Unknown Konami employee
opening tune is the first verse of a Japanese children's song called Inu No Omawarisan (The Policeman's Dog). The song remained intact in the US release. Other Japanese tunes that are played during gameplay include the themes to the anime Hana no Ko Lunlun and Araiguma Rascal.

Zelda 1

-Kōji Kondō
-The theme can loop for hours without getting tedious

yeah definitely zelda 1.

the mario games have some good themes too.

i spent sooooo much time playing yars revenge when i was little but I honestly don't remember the music at all. i'll have to see if I can find a clip.

Now I'm remembering that Mark Mothersbaugh did the music for Crash Bandicoot Warped, and it's insanely catchy...

Castlevania 1, 2, and 3 for the NES. So brutal. Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 was thrashy and awesome. Metriod is sweet too. Punch out rules. Mega man 1-6, the list goes on! The NES has the best music. Minibosses rule, I hope we can bring them to our fair town sooner than later.

a year ago, it would have been the first katamari game, no questions asked. but now little big planet for the ps3 is a SERIOUS fucking contender.

I remember being at a Rancid Yak Butter Tea Party show at Ruby's where they played all songs from Mega Man 1-5 I think. There was like no one there, but it was incredible.
