* Civilization IV. This (atheist) troper cries every time he listens to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGr4g_Knw7k&fmt=18 Baba Yetu]].

* The relative obscure planetary air-trading sim {{Hardwar}} had a soundtrack entirely comprised of artists from the Warp Records label, ranging from awesome techno-industrial to even funky drum n' bass.

* ''{{Ever17}}'' has the rocking [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0MhRwsum1Q Drittes Auges]], and the ecstatic [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6CjxgAzCnk Aqua Stripe]]

* ''{{Ever17}}'' has the tear-jerking [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUMacfGCG74 Karma]], the rocking [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0MhRwsum1Q Drittes Auges]], and the ecstatic [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6CjxgAzCnk Aqua Stripe]]

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Hop3U2UH0 theme]] for the city-building game has an unexplainable "Hell Yes!" kind of touch to it.

* ''{{VVVVVV}}'' has what may be the best chiptune soundtrack in a new game since ''Cave Story''. For just a sampling, try "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYANYGCgRz4 Pushing Onwards]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjyhx49BIzc Potential For Anything]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc5bLM3w5Q Pressure Cooker]]".

** Also, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkeVknNhZjE Haegemonia]]'' and it's expansion, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4CFMK8_0T0&fmt=18 The Solon Heritage]]''. Even better, both versions has the soundtrack in MP2 format without encryption, compression or custom codecs, neatly organized in the game folder!

* ''[=~Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl~=]'' has a couple of great tunes, such as the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apxVY-0dcAs&fmt=18 Bridge music]].

Note: Some of the music of the older games (Mostly DOS games before Windows 95) were composed with specific hardware in mind (Sierra games' music was made with Roland MT-32 in mind, for example) that are not possible to emulate on modern soundcards and DOSBox. Fortunately, as of summer 2011 the [[http://www.sierrahelp.com/Utilities/Emulators/Munt.html fans made]] [[http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ considerable progress]] in emulating the Roland MT-32 hardware.

* DeceasedCrab, who did a LetsPlay of ''CaveStory'', says "Anyone who doesn't love [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNk6OtebN5Y&fmt=18 the Outer Wall music]] is a monster." [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZU_f3QaX68 Geothermal]] is also pure awesome. And it's amazing that all this was made by one guy.

* Blood has some great pieces of music. The midi version sounds a lot more ambient than the CD. The two that stands out are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NnUrQiygL4&feature=related The Haunting]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svzMK33PMUk (CD version)]], -the creepiest levels in the game- and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LV9D1aFclg Unholy Voices]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IndXRdZLjjg&feature=related (CD version)]].

* ''Game/EvilGenius'' has a surprisingly badass main [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqNs7APC6A8 theme]], for such a [[RuleOfFunny light-hearted game]]. As for the pause menu music, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Ln3SSxWYA well]]...

* The [[SteamPunk Steam Punk]] MMO ''Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0bAxCeRf0Y this theme]] playing in Greticos - especially fitting for the PC's first visit to the national capital.

* ''SeriousSam''. "[[CatchPhrase Let's get SERIOUS!]]" Nothing sets off TheWarSequence like "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DErvM3QzXxg WAA]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD8-k5NhOW0 AAA]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o46Rbcej5KU AAA]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEjayNWB8E8 AAA]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aBAy9cOdKM AAR!]]"
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQMCAdMadMY Grand Cathedral BGM]] from ''SeriousSam: The Second Encounter''. An unexpected but undeniably good deviation from the rest of the game's pieces. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6KtRtczhh0 Great Pyramid BGM]] from ''The First Encounter'' is also brilliant. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV7gnG2mwN4&fmt=18 Better quality, but slightly different version of the same tune]].)
** Let's not forget the absolutely awesome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=448iHJR3sYI "Jingle Bells" remix]] from the ''Second Encounter'' level [[CrowningMoment/VideoGameLevels "Land of the Damned"]].
** The ''First Encounter'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BG1wtCdnEU&fmt=18 final boss music]].
*** It's like a rock version of Phantom Of The Opera. Awesome!
** Not to mention lots of the music in ''Serious Sam II'' in Planet [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8r2VbDntfw& Kleer]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQGrFufRkhI Ellenier]], Kronor and Sirius. And of course the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvxNyxMEivA& final level]] music when discouting the clown laugh in the background. Most other first-person shooters had ambient music back then already.
** How did you all forget about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSdFeHMAmHI this little gem]] from the second boss fight in Second Encounter?
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1M-3pN3xQQ Mdigbo - City Metropolis - Medium]]

** Listen closely. ''[[EarWorm WOOF WOOF MEOWWWWWWW]].''

** Or Melty Blood's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbtu50qsY5I Seijaku no Forutishimo]]? 'Bad ending theme? I think you mean badass ending theme.' indeed

* [[{{ptitlernrhom9d}} Bonesaw: The Game]] has some ''awesome'' tunes. [[http://music.jwmusic.org/album/bonesaw-original-soundtrack Listen to the OST here.]]
