My absolute favorite game soundtrack of all time is the 1989 (1991 us) Sega Genesis game Sword of Vermilion. The game was only average, but god that soundtrack. Just 3 small samples of game bliss for me....








On the NES I remember like it was yesterday turning my tv up to max volume when my friend brought over Batman.



and more modern, you have to give a nod to Halo 3.

1. Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambiance gets me every time
2. TMNT - I still hum the start menu randomly and it will take me forever to realize where it's from
3. Super Mario 64- Dire, Dire Docks has the same effect of AA, takes me back to playing that game in middle school for hours.

Honorable mention
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 - There's like 3 songs in the game, but all are instantly recognizable and catchy.

Let's see...

1. Skyrim (360) (awesome soundtrack, and yes I did buy the 4 disc autographed collection, completely worth it)
2. Quake (PC) (Nine Inch Nails did the soundtrack and it still haunts me.)
3. Y's Book I & II (TG-16) (The Turbo Graphix/Turbo Duo system had a ton of good tracks but this one was the best of the bunch)

Honorable Mentions (no particular order): Legend of Zelda (NES), Final Fantasy (any really), Halo 3 (360), Fable (I-III), and Silent Hill (again, pretty much any).

1. Advent Rising -- game had one heck of a beautiful score. i hate that the trilogy was cancelled

2. Dark Souls 1 -- Some of the boss fight music is unforgettable for me

3. Quake -- I am a big NIN fan and the soundtrack made by Reznor was awesome. It was also cool that the ammo packs that contained nails had "NIN" on the box.

Hmm, I change my last answer to Street Fighter 2. The music in each of the stages is pretty iconic.

Plus, Guile's theme goes with everything.

Morrowind - Opening theme is probably my favorite game track of all time
Final Fantasy VI
Halo - Not a franchise fan but can't discredit how much the music added to the first Halo

Honorable Mention - Kingdom Hearts 2 (love that traverse town theme)

It's funny, I was just thinking about this last week.

My favorite individual tracks...
1. Double Dragon "City Slums" (Stage 1 Music)
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/dTGC84IJPh8?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/dTGC84IJPh8?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
This one pumps me up whenever I hear it. A close runner-up is the Opening Theme.

2. Golden Axe (Genesis) "Sutakota Sassa" (End Credits Music)
<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/tN3PKPVnE_I?hl=en_US&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/tN3PKPVnE_I?hl=en_US&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
Something just so joyous about this music... it felt like a true celebration after beating the game. And probably my favorite end credit sequence of any game ever.

3. Castlevania "Poison Mind" (Boss Battle)
<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/L__L6f_QWj8?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/L__L6f_QWj8?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
This is a newer version than the NES one I grew up with, but it's an epic tune either way.

I agree with both of these people.

I can't really think of any other soundtracks that really got my attention, although I guess I loved the music in Bioshock and Fallout 3 in particular, even if there wasn't enough of it.

1. Mega Man II (NES)
2. Lightening Force (Genesis)
3. RoadBlasters (arcade)

oh god I forgot about how much I loved Double Dragon....Mega Man 2 is also a great one.

Don't know if I have an absolute favorite list, but here are the ones I really enjoyed

Outcast - One of the first games I can remember that had an orchestral music score.
Inca - Lots of pan flutes and similar period instruments
Planescape: Torment - Great work from Mark Morgan. I particularly loved Dionarra's Theme.
and for something recent, Thomas Was Alone

Shit I knew I was forgetting one. Actraiser is neck and neck with Halo for me.

Creepy as hell. Track 13 taken from PS1, done with one guy using just a synth.
