* ''VideoGame/TheDig'' has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GVGWWR4HYU very beautiful soundtrack]] composed by Michael Land and inspired by Wagnerian pieces. Particularly awesome are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMuu9djqKrs "The Monument"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JQTafesDeg "Dimensions in Time"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvRdUcbNSFM "Cathedral of the Lost",]] and the '''incredibly beautiful''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR5PhssJGGQ "A River Canyon".]]

* ''Videogame/Afterlife1996'' is a heaven and hell simulator, and thus [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daDSrWd7OLE&list=PL5E9860F10AE4D364 the soundtrack]] is full of appropriately ethereal music, with strings, flutes and choirs to give an otherwordly sensation. It has a fun dance track for the Disco Inferno, and an upside to the "Surfers of the Apocalypso" defeat scenario - you're losing, but at least there's a cool surf rock tune playing!

* 1995 Adventure game ''VideoGame/TheDig'' has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GVGWWR4HYU very beautiful soundtrack]] composed by Michael Land and inspired by Wagnerian pieces. Particularly awesome are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMuu9djqKrs "The Monument"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JQTafesDeg "Dimensions in Time"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvRdUcbNSFM "Cathedral of the Lost",]] and the '''incredibly beautiful''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR5PhssJGGQ "A River Canyon".]]

* Then there's ''Franchise/StarWars: VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'', which came with suitably EPIC music from Joel McNeeley, who originally wrote the score for the ''novel''. His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nitJd6cIXU theme]] for MagnificentBastard Xizor is just the tip of the iceberg. The ''awesome'' iceberg.

* ''Secret Weapons Over Normandy'' had some of the most epic music ever put in a flight sim outside of an ''AceCombat'' game. It would not be hard to imagine it in a ''Franchise/StarWars'' or ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' film. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Wyz0-9rVI Here is the main theme,]] and it just gets more awesome from there.

* The epic Mandalorian war chants: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FXrbNlX0KU Vode An]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsMRHu1GhbY&list=PLE10E72DDE64EC615&index=4 Gratua Cunn]] from ''VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando.''

** Particularly awesome are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMuu9djqKrs "The Monument"]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JQTafesDeg "Dimensions in Time"]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvRdUcbNSFM "Cathedral of the Lost",]] and the '''incredibly beautiful''' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR5PhssJGGQ "A River Canyon".]]

* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' Also has it's share of awesome music such as the emotional [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__gLIyeQYDU Rebuilt Jedi Enclave]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DtVBD6W5_A The Main Theme]]
* The iMUSE interactive MIDI system definitely proved its worth by using a format that is generally regarded as having lackluster sampling in the games that made use of it, and the soundtracks themselves certainly contributed to the experience as well. ''VideoGame/DarkForces'' boasts a remarkable score all around, with noteworthy tracks played during cutscenes that show Kyle in transit to Anteevy/escaping from his captor's ship or making his escape after blowing something up. The music scored for ''VideoGame/TIEFighter'' likewise has an excellent variety to offer, but perhaps the most memorable comes from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cozXQbUh4U8 the opening cinematic]] (particularly towards the end where the Imperials pursue the fleeing Rebels). Regrettably, the original score was replaced with the music (or perhaps remixes thereof) from the original movie trilogy's soundtracks in later releases of the compilation CD.
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I69GKdVDc9I remix]] for the Collector's Edition isn't anything to sneeze at, either.

* ''{{Grim Fandango}}'': [[http://www.grimfandango.net/?page=soundtrack Get it here]].

* While later installment mostly used tracks from the films, the first ''[[DarkForcesSaga Dark Forces]]'' game had a truly badass original [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz7ewICXU-o theme]].

*** I've uploaded Glottis's bonus track [[http://rapidshare.com/files/214407022/Bonus_Rusty_Anchor.mp3.html here]], for you lucky first ten people to download. Anyone know a better hosting site?
* 1995 Adventure game ''VideoGame/{{The Dig}}'' has a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GVGWWR4HYU very beautiful soundtrack]] composed by Michael Land and inspired by Wagnerian pieces.
** Of special mention are ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMuu9djqKrs The Monument]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JQTafesDeg Dimensions in Time]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvRdUcbNSFM Cathedral of the Lost]]'' and the '''incredibly beautiful''' ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR5PhssJGGQ A River Canyon.]]''
* The opening sequence in ''{{Full Throttle}}'', though really, the entire game should qualify. This troper tracked down the Gone Jackal's only album entirely because of "Legacy". This troper is also looking forward to ''Brutal Legend'' because anyone with an ear for a great soundtrack in the past has got to be good at making an entire game based on music itself.
* Then there's ''StarWars: ShadowsOfTheEmpire'', which came with suitably EPIC music from Joel McNeeley, who originally wrote the score for the ''novel''. His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nitJd6cIXU&fmt=18 theme]] for MagnificentBastard Xizor is just the tip of the iceberg. The ''awesome'' iceberg.
* ''{{Knights Of The Old Republic}}'' deserves some mention. Of course, it's ''{{Star Wars}}'', so along with the Obligatory Epic Lightsaber Fight Scene comes the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxNKOLgbbhs Obligatory Epic Lightsaber Fight]] ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxNKOLgbbhs Music]]''. But there's also the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDwl-31afEc Infinite Fleet Theme]] - so-named because the final cinematic for the Dark Side ending pans out through a ''fleet'' (a '''big''' fleet) of Sith destroyers ready to conquer the galaxy.

** Oh we did NOT just get this far without mentioning the utterly awesome music that plays during the character creation screne, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSKvMyruPTA&feature=related The Old Republic]]
