RE: Ken's theme. According to the composer, she had seen Top Gun, but hadn't deliberately ripped it off.

Xenon 2, Monkey Island and Portal all get props from me.

But for sheer bleepy goodness that's been in my head on and off for 20+ years:

If you like the theme from Tetris, then try this hardcore version played on accordian:

Playing this one through at the moment. Lovely orchestral suite fused with old songs.

Bioshock - brilliant soundtrack suiting a brilliant game like a glove.

Castlevania IV (Title music) on Super Famicom (SNES) gets my vote though.

Ooh, I know. How about:

Prefer the sequel myself.

First thoughts when i read the title were Chiller on C64 (really bad Thriller rip off) which was nothing special, but i remember the music over 30 years later so it was doing something right. Agony on the Amiga 500 is another that's hard to forget.

We've got the Portal: Still Alive song covered by the London Philharmonic Orchestra; it's brilliant!

We had a tune from Skyrim played during our wedding, which was nice.

Although I'm surprised no-one has suggested this:

WAR!

Being over 40, any computer music has to be actual music generated by the computer.

I grew up on the C64 so all those mentioned so far are classics - especially Crazy Commets.

Also like the below.

I'm amazed this thread has got so far and no-one has mentioned:

Which is just bonkers. No intro for a game has ever set the game up so wonderfully. I mean, listen to it- I'm cruising Liberty City in my mind, right now....
