Ah, the 16-bit era. Fun times when you're making videos about sweet tunes. There's probably at least one or two titles in there you'll like.

Entry 85 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Entry 86 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Entry 89 - Castlevania: Dracula X
Most here are known quantities, except maybe for the original Shadowrun (cyberpunk goodness) and Plok. The latter was composed by the Follin brothers and has a pretty neat trivia story attached to it. From what I understand, it seems that when he first heard the music to this game, Miyamoto actually thought that the cartridge had a special sound chip included to produce the tunes. Turns out it didn't, and Tim Follin is just a genius at pushing consoles to their auditory limit. I'm impressed. Gar out.

PAJ89 - Yeah, I'd go back even further to the original Castlevania game to be honest. I'd be hard-pressed to find any game in the franchise that doesn't have a triple-A soundtrack. Check out Castlevania III for NES in particular - absolutely genius.
OT: Shadowrun was an awesome game with some good tunes. Why did the latest one have to be a retarded frag fest?
