* Also worth giving a listen to is the [[https://youtu.be/yOsfI_tIynU soundtrack]] from ''Pinball/F14Tomcat''. It features some ridiculously amazing music done by the people who did the music for ''Black Knight 2000''. The main theme, high score[[note]](the U.S. Navy anthem "Anchors Aweigh")[[/note]], and multiball themes, in particular, are well done.

* 1989's ''Pinball/BlackKnight 2000'' is known for having one of the best soundtracks ever for a pinball game, composed by Brian Schmidt, [[Franchise/MortalKombat Dan "Toasty!" Forden]], and the game's designer, Creator/SteveRitchie. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCKDvjVzpNQ Take a listen here]].
* Another contender is 1993's ''Pinball/TwilightZone''. It helps that they borrowed the Music/GoldenEarring hit song of the same name. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GYmfrxntiA Listen for yourself here]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPbeMB2cYTc and also here]].
* Dan Forden's mix of Music/ZZTop's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD10ZVlup0I "La Grange"]] for ''[[Pinball/HighSpeed The Getaway: High Speed II]]'' fits in here as well. As does the original ''Pinball/HighSpeed''[='s=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTpwBI4Ez9M jackpot theme,]] by Creator/SteveRitchie and Bill Parod.

* For DigitalPinballTables, ''VideoGame/ProPinballTimeshock'' really stands out with its soundtrack, along with generally being one of the best computer pinball games ever. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQMOwKIniFo Here's a great video, if you have over an hour to spare.]]
* ''Pinball/ElviraAndThePartyMonsters'' has a surprisingly awesome soundtrack, especially for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe1zqOSWdv0&t=3m43s multiball jackpot]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe1zqOSWdv0&t=5m39s three-million-point "Elvira's Theme."]]. It's even better actually playing the game, as the pinball playfield lights are synchronized to the music.
* ''Pinball/TXSector'', in all its eighties {{Chiptune}} glory. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBSwzJheylQ Listen to it here.]]

* Pretty much all of ''Pinball/WorldCupSoccer''[='=]s soundtrack, particularly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlItU0d9YFE [[https://youtu.be/xlItU0d9YFE the main theme.]]



* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgn7iupJtfU The main theme of]] ''Pinball/{{Indianapolis 500}}'', a swelling, adrenalin-filled tune that captures the speed and excitement of the RealLife race that it's based on. The theme could step into the climax of a SportsStory {{Film}} without a single change.
* ''VideoGame/LastGladiators'' is already filled with numerous awesome RatedMForManly soundtracks, but the topper is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_vj7I7BFYk the opening title tune]], over a minute-and-a-half of white-hot speed rock awesome.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUFLBEFaB78 main theme]] for ''Pinball/{{Victory}}'' is rather catchy, in a [[TheEighties late eighties]] {{Chiptune}} way.
* The main theme for ''Pinball/{{Jackbot}}'' is a snazzy jazz rendition of the original ''Pinball/{{Pinbot}}'' theme and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkMpFN-W8dQ boy is it catchy]]. Likewise, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1UJjOhE5zo the Casino Run theme]] is an upbeat, frantic synth piece that perfectly describes the feeling of pressing one's luck.
* The [[https://youtu.be/efxsCHsmWA4 Lightning Racer mode theme]] in ''[[VideoGame/ThreeDUltraPinballThrillride 3D Ultra Pinball: Thrillride]]'' is one looping epic guitar solo. Who knew building your own roller coaster would rock so much? Then there's [[WizardMode Nighttime Fantasy]]. Of all the choices of music to get you pumped for a WizardMode, what would be more fitting than a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPfxcNt1-QM freaking ORCHESTRA?]]

No, "fixing" a red link would entail creating a page for it. There's no wiki policy against redlinks for work pages; the assumption is that they will be made eventually and will be ready-crosswicked.


* ''Swords of Fury'', [[https://youtu.be/RMIp5nG-C3o in all its 80s musical glory]], starts off slowly and melancholic, but the instrumentation builds as balls are captured. Come the start of multiball, the music changes into a charged-up battle anthem.
