6	* On the pinball side of things, 1989's ''[[Pinball/BlackKnight Black Knight 2000]]'' and 1993's ''Pinball/TwilightZone'' were known for having one of the best soundtracks ever for a pinball game. The latter game uses Music/GoldenEarring's 1982 hit song "Twilight Zone" as its main theme.
7	* As legendary as the game ''VideoGame/OutRun'' itself are the songs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxcVk6ygHVE Magical Sound Shower]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN29mw-ZNAE Passing Breeze]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B1g13a-nWk Splash Wave]] and even the Game Over theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uarAYVMgNvE Last Wave]]). These are the ''only'' songs in the game, so it's all the more impressive that they deserve recognition on this page.
8	%%* ''[[VideoGame/HangOn Super Hang-On]]'' had four great songs: Outride a Crisis, Sprinter, Winning Run and Victory Road.
9	* ''VideoGame/{{Gyruss}}'' (in its initial arcade form) only has one recurring song, a remix of [[Music/JohannSebastianBach Bach]]'s Music/ToccataAndFugueInDMinor, but hearing the song in stereo sound on an '80s (!) -era arcade machine will make you say "Whoa!"
10	* For a game about murdering other assassins to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqws_946pd0 jammin']] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7MfsrD8hws jazz]] tunes, the ending theme to ''The Outfoxies'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McR3Kj2UYiI "Enjoy Life"]] is as chilled and lovely a piece of jazzy piano as you'll ever find.
11	* [[VideoGame/StreetFighterEX Allen Snider]]'s theme in ''VideoGame/FightingLayer''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nJnA850N9c Sweet Jesus, is it stellar.]]
12	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64Od6TKtXw0 X-X-X-X-MEN]]
13	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si7H89z0J7w Phantom of Blue]] from ''Manga/WanganMidnight Maximum Tune 3'' is an AWESOME techno/trance song.
14	%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG6VB8SAR94 first world theme]] from ''Neo Bomberman''.
15	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVGBQuYvWsk Daddy Mulk]] from ''VideoGame/TheNinjaWarriors''. Awesome song that has been remixed many times, it's a shame that ''VideoGame/TheNinjaWarriorsAgain'' didn't have a remix of it. The remake of ''The Ninja Warriors Again'' '''does''' however have it.
16	* The scrolling shooter based on the ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' cartoon had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f58m03j9-lg an awesome instrumental mix of the 90's DIC theme]] as its first level BGM, interspersed with "Got to get tough! Yo Joe!" at the same points where it would be shouted during the opening. They could hardly have picked a better song to psych up a player for the rest of the game and all the gratuitous shooting and explosions involved.
17	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ78VcwSk_o The first mission]] from ''VideoGame/TotalCarnage'' will get every over-muscular American video game hero's blood pumping.
18	* The little-known rhythm game ''Crackin' DJ'' has a fairly good soundtrack, but the sequel has an ''insane'' soundtrack composed by legendary Sega composers Hiro and Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. Notable highlights include:
19	** "[[https://youtu.be/yD1d0z3nHvE It's All Good]]", a funky song that teaches you the basics, with excited vocals from Takenobu himself.
20	** "[[https://youtu.be/V-b3q9rme1g Thanks for Nothing]]", a simple blend of blues rock and techno.
21	** "[[https://youtu.be/Tc62nuBPsk4 Happy Man]]", a bizarre mix of rap vocals, cartoon sound effects, music box melodies, and baby noises. Somehow it works!
22	** "[[https://youtu.be/jNYBksc7LyQ Sun Dance]]", a cheery song with female vocals.
23	** "[[https://youtu.be/U2Zu2QLqtEM Sleeper]]", a groovy funk rock song.
24	** The bonus stage theme, "[[https://youtu.be/Y7BZKRo4EdA Let's Go Away]]". Yes, ''[[VideoGame/DaytonaUSA that]]'' "Let's Go Away".
25	** "[[https://youtu.be/aS3mVWMGTgo Seven o'Clock]]", the ''other'' bonus stage theme, is a medley of ''VideoGame/FantasyZone'' music, of all things!
26	* ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}} Dekaris'', an arcade version of Tetris from Creator/{{Sega}}, inexplicably forgoes the usual Tetris theme in favor of catchy J-Pop, and it is great.
27	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W47SysXajf8 Fate is I Love You]]" starts most games off with an upbeat bang.
28	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPj3nLAWzoU Sweets X Sweets]]", another cheery song with well-done autotuning.
29	* ''[[VideoGame/LandingSeries Top Landing]]'' has the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjbHUIt3JwU first main theme]], a cheerful track that gets you pumped to land at one of eight real-world commercial airports.
