Favourite game music

Post here your favourite game music, music that triggers good memories and/or just sounds good.

A few personal choices, mostly from the 8- and 16-bit age.

From the PC Ultima 8 and the Fallout games have had the music that has made the greatest impression on me I think, Ultima for its magical and eerie 8-bit classical score and Fallout 1 and 2 for atmospheric industrial, tribal drums, barking dogs and sirens as the bombs fall:

Ultima 8 - Pagan's Theme
Ultima 8 Music - Carthax Lake
Ultima 8 - Cemetery

Fallout 1 - Brotherhood of Steel
Fallout 2 - Vault City
Fallout 2 - Arroyo
Fallout 2 - Car

Some great music in the Elder Scrolls series too, for example Daggerfall: Over Snow

And some old NES and SNES games, classic Japanese madness/brilliance in midi sound form:

Megaman x - Storm Eagle Music Theme
Chrono Trigger - Frog's Theme (check out the epic in-game cut scene here)
Duck Tales - The Moon
Ninja Gaiden - Intro (give this 20 seconds to open up)
Legend of Zelda: A link to The Past - Overworld

Oh, I have a lot.

Total War stuff is more of less always awesome.
(I don't know what to pick really, basically the entire RTW-M2TW soundtrack, especially when you use Stainless Steel.
Also, the menu music of Napoleon:TW is amazing at least to me. It's very dark and moving.)

Hmm, what else.. Ah yes.

Divine Divinity, a quite underrated Diablo-esque RPG, has an AMAZING soundtrack, Kirill Pokrovksy did a great job on it, it makes the game 100% more enjoyable because of the atmosphere it creates. Again, I could youtubelink the entire OST, it's that good. Dunno if it's a good thing to do or not.  :)

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

The Hobbit PC-game from Sierra still has the best overall soundtrack I've ever heard, yet Dungeon Siege I has the best main theme.
