Sorry but no greatest soundtrack list is valid unless Actraiser is on it.

From the trailers Halo 3 looks to have a killer soundtrack.

chess

Someday I'm going to make a list of really obscure stuff...

kakihara1

amazing that you've played enough games with decent soundtracks to determine that you need to narrow it down to such an exclusive level as to warrant a TOP 100

Rockmjd23

Ice Cap Zone in Sonic 3 has always been one of my favorite tunes, plus all the Robotnik boss themes.

tbird2340

I didn't even think of that... That is total insanity!

Save Ferris

Most people would just cut and paste lists such as this. I appreciate the effort you've put forth here.

Groucho

Indeed. I'd be hard-pressed to come up with 100 games that didn't have crap soundtracks.

Jeremy517

When I played through Doom (or was it Doom II?) a few years back, I noticed that there were two or three songs that were ripoffs of Alice in Chains songs. I wonder how many other Doom songs were ripped off from elsewhere...

ZFGokuSSJ1

ALL of them!

Michael Corvin

Exactly. It is a nice job on the list, but damn that is a lot. As for soundtracks I could probably come up with a half dozen greats. Now if we were talking great theme songs then 100 would be easier.

ZFGokuSSJ1

Yeah, a greatest theme song list would be really great... Who wants to compile it?!

Spicollidriver1

Honestly no Skullmonkey's worst list EVER!!!!! kidding good list except one exclusion
