* A standalone mod of ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'', ''VideoGame/TheAdventuresOfSquare'' has quite catchy tracks.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOuSLbq_Ti4 Ice Cream Time Machine]] is played in [=E2A4=], the level where you fight in the facility filled with toxic milk. It's an upbeat disco tune.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARFqJ7BoO-Q Incubutter]] is played in [=E2A7=], the level where you fight on the magma river of the moon. It's an intense yet very beautiful tune, and also used in the official episode 2 trailer.

** Being a horror game, awesome music might not be the first thing that comes to mind when playing the game as that kind of music is more often atmospheric rather than headbanging material. The first boss theme however, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF6F5e7fVbk First Act ~ I Deserve to be Heard]]", is a pretty kickass piano piece reminiscent of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' that serves to give the whole thing a more stage like vibe fitting of the theme of the game.

* The obscure ''VideoGame/BeetleJunior'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGDZqnYDiqY catchy and upbeat techno music]] whenever you begin a level.

* A lot of the chase themes in ''VideoGame/SpookysHouseOfJumpScares'' do a real good job in keeping you on your toes, two examples being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b677_os3s34 Your Consenting Mind]] (Specimen 8) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcoXUuq1At8 We Have the Beef]] (Specimen 11).

* ''VideoGame/BeyondSunset'' have it's cyberpunk / synthesizer-inspired score, as performed by Karl Vincent who did an ''amazing'' job with the soundtrack. It magnifies the intensity and makes killing scores and scores of robots even more entertaining than it already was.

* VideoGame/SonicRoboBlast2 is a Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog game worthy of being considered an official title, and [[AwesomeMusic/SonicRoboBlast2 the soundtrack is no slack, either]].

* Q: What do you get when you take ''VideoGame/HoshiWoMiruHito'''s soundtrack, which is infamous for [[Horrible/VideoGameSoundtracks its awful quality]], and task people who know what they're doing to recreate it? A: The soundtrack of ''[[FanRemake Romancing StellaVisor]]'', the entirety of which can be listened to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vuqSB-idDw here]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNfPPu4Mrj8 Raptor]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_HQIJzr_dM Nexus]]: the former plays during the first serious space battle of the game while the second comes with brutal SceneryPorn (translation: Epicness).

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNfPPu4Mrj8 Raptor]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_HQIJzr_dM Nexus]]: the former plays during the first serious space battle of the game while the second comes with brutal SceneryPorn (translation: Epicness turned UpToEleven).

** The opening theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbq0hpP4I_0 Distorted Pain]]. A theme managing to be highly energetic while still maintaining a slightly creepy factor that sets the tone of the story.
** Gore's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlM2eGRVZfA Madness Visitor]], twisted and distorted circus music fitting of a eldritch MonsterClown.
** And for when Gore is feeling in the mood for his more devious and deadly pranks there is the track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvxyQ_fzdk4 2006式 SADISTIC SEXART 2006]], retaining the circus flair but is much more playful and energetic, perhaps a bit ''too'' much to the point that it enters the realm of madness.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbq0hpP4I_0 Distorted Pain]] from ''GoreScreamingShow''. It is the opening song, but still it is creepy enough, matching the atmosphere of the game.

* ''[[Videogame/TheGame Reimagine :the game:]]'' has a great, albeit short, soundtrack. In particular, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smNnUq9WIQc Nervous Countdown]] (the final boss theme) stands out as chaotic, a jarring shift in tone to match the battle taking place, and pretty damn awesome.

* This obscure game called ''VideoGame/BeetleJunior'' has one [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pGDZqnYDiqY where some catchy and upbeat techno music plays whenever you begin a level]].

* Indie game ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon'' has "Everything's Alright" by Laura Shigihara is a big {{Tearjerker}} in context. Out of context as well - [[https://laurashigihara.bandcamp.com/track/everythings-alright see for yourself.]]

* Indie game ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon'' has "Everything's Alright" by Laura Shigihara is a big {{Tearjerker}} in context. Out of context as well - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAODrEEkOYI see for yourself.]]

* The ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6FXeupOp04 theme]] is so awesome it's the only track in the game, played on a six string guitar by the Toady One himself. The haunting notes suspend one's sense of time's passage and accentuate the [[spoiler:despair]] felt as [[spoiler: Fun]] begins to propagate through one's fortress.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d97mgNf23n4 Reprisal]]. The theme for [[spoiler:Irisviel and Kiritsugu]]. An anthem to the PowerOfLove. Also one of the more challenging boss fights in the game. Probably because of said power.

** [[http://www.queststudios.com/ Quest Studios]] for those of you unlucky enough to miss out on the awesome. These guys also composed their own SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic for the Creator/AGDInteractive {{Fan Remake}}s. [[http://www.queststudios.com/quest/kq2rts/kq2music/kq2music.html Their score for the [=KQ2=] remake]], especially the Air Gem tests, is on par with Sierra itself. [[spoiler: The flash-forward scenes to ''VideoGame/KingsQuestIII'']] "Daventry in Ruins" and [[spoiler: "Walking with Connor" (with the ''VideoGame/KingsQuestMaskOfEternity'' character)]] incorporate the {{leitmotif}} from both games beautifully.

** Of particular note are the intro stage theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxjDa8B04jQ The Ground Which Can Shine]], Luste's stage theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efpi4L-a4tc 26]], Freudia's ''boss'' theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1w2wgRNO4I 22]], which also plays when [[spoiler: she saves Spiritia from Iris]], the first [[spoiler:Iris]] stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUr32cPqxAk Red Pollusion]], the theme of the Garden of Time, Space, and Chaos, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afjqHdReg5w Winter Breath]], and the final stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnodQ07VOTs ys008 ~The Final Duel~]].

* Most of the ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' soundtrack is made of awesome. A small taste is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixv_jRI6VqY Main Theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciElC-u2vno Transcendent One]]. The latter is chillingly awesome in game, with its first appearance being [[spoiler: right after the Nameless One has moved on after defeating Ravel Puzzlewell. The Transcendent One, aka the Nameless One's disembodied mortality (and final boss of the game) arrives and this theme starts up. He and Ravel proceed to have a truly epic battle against one another, which made the previous battle against the Nameless One himself seem like little more than a warm-up. Can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DZAIFQH4fM here]]. There's also a bit of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAiypc2wsOA Sigil Battle]] and the theme from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPm1BpFD83M Ravel's Maze]] to be heard there as well, which are cool in their own right.]]

** Music/LacunaCoil's "Swamped" in the credits, when you (well, at least in one ending) [[spoiler: walk out of Ventrue Tower that just blew up. With that asshole prince Lacroix inside]]. Awesome Music indeed.

** And from the most recent chapter in Korea, [[spoiler:Glas Ghaibleann]] makes the jump to Vindictus, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K0eh7CZuRM his theme is suitably awesome]].

%%** [[http://www.rpg-maker.fr/ost/OST/OFF/34%20-%20Avatar%20Beat.mp3 Avatar Beat]], [[spoiler:for the final boss battle with The Judge/Bad Batter.]]

** The second final boss theme, fittingly named [[https://youtu.be/ZptSbBU_Tu8 Finale ~ This is my Dream]] offers a surprisingly fast beat track as you prepare to deal the decisive blow to that stubborn mule [[StringyHairedGhostGirl Violetta]].

* Being a horror game, awesome music might not be the first thing that comes to mind when playing ''VideoGame/EvilTonight'' as that kind of music is more often atmospheric rather than headbanging material. The first boss theme however, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF6F5e7fVbk First Act ~ I Deserve to be Heard]]", is a pretty kickass piano piece reminiscent of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' that serves to give the whole thing a more stage like vibe fitting of the theme of the game.

* ''VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragonsOnline'' opens with "[[https://youtu.be/DlXO1nrg6Qk Discover the Music of the Realms]]". This two-minute song will get you excited to play some ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. The composer, Chance Thomas, says it best in his testimony:

* ''VideoGame/{{Vangers}}'': CrazyAwesome music for a CrazyAwesome game, in particular [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucNycx83WNs Crazy Necross]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83rh5-EeqvE Vangers Forever]].

* The ''VideoGame/FarCry'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbk8WeQU0rc menu theme]] - the way it kicks in at 0:30.
