anyone ever played Werewolf for 8-bit?
never got very far, but i loved the music.

besides that, i'd have to agree w/ castlevania and legend of zelda

It's sad, but if someone played me a track from one of
the old Sonic titles, I could probably tell you the level.

Those games WERE my childhood.

down loaded--theres a lot of chart stuff too-mad!

3000 midi files tho-all the zelda and metroid stuff and silent hill

street fighter is in it too--worth a download

Have to agree with "Rusko"... Arkanoid was a baaad game with some tuff music alongside.

Actually, I used to take a lot of samples from old school coin-op video games, love that crunchy 8bit sound!!!!

A few of my own personal favourites were:

Kung-Fu Master
Gauntlet I
Dragon's Lair
Galaxian
1942

Also we used to have a Mario Brothers pinball machine actually in the studio, which made a few appearances on tracks, deliberately or otherwise !!!

Hell yeah. No probably about it for me, I could still whistle them all to you!

Scrap Brain Zone on Sonic 1 for Master System had QUALITY music.

I've got the master system sitting about somewhere too, and that tune is getting sampled.

Also, Galaxy Force for Master System had some tunes.
