[@nicklessincage]

What about Moon theme from Duck Tales?

[@blakfloyd]

Journey to Silius is just on its own tier. I'd put it right up there with the Castlevania and Megaman series. Excellent melodic ideas, great development of moods, and it just sounds like legit metal music only encumbered by the limitations of the era's technology.

[@EpicLegendaryMythicMusic]

Yeah, it has some very nice themes. Why was it placed so low on the list? I never played the game so there was zero nostalgia value, unlike some other games.

[@blakfloyd]

Oh, I have zero qualms about its ranking. I was just expressing my love for it. I literally mostly use retro gaming music playlists like this as a wonderful way to immerse myself in long cooking sessions at the house. It's extremely serene and I highly recommend it. Even if you don't like cooking, try listening while enjoying any other hobby you have.

[@EpicLegendaryMythicMusic]

I hear you. I occasionally use low-fi music like this while I'm working.

[@Smaug1]

That is a SOLID list. Thanks for putting it together. I agree, many of these are really good! I think the music from most games for most later systems really declined after NES. The sound capabilities grew, but the quality of the basic melodies did not. (there are exceptions, such as Symphony of the Night...) There are some surprisingly good songs from surprisingly bad games in there too. :)

Anyway, the NES is filled to the brim with amazing tunes, some obvious like Contra or Castlevania, others more obscure, like Power Blade. It's great!

Man, there were some real stinkers on this list at the beginning. Not even sure how they made it on here. But the further it went, it was honestly really on point as far as the amount of Mega Man and Castlevania stuff you justifiably put high on the list. But holy shit, #7 shouldn't have even been on this list - can't believe it was top 10 for you, no offense. Still love ya, though! Thanks for putting this together! :)

[@EpicLegendaryMythicMusic]

Had to check the 7 ha ha :D Wont take it back, such an epic heroic feel to the tune. But I can tell you where the so called stinkers came from. With one word: nostalgia. Used to play many of these games as a kid. Thanks for commenting. You have a good taste when it comes to Megaman & Castlevania
