Gaming music nostalgia

I was linked to this site the other day, a collection of remixes of System Shock music (as well as remastered mp3s of midis), and listening to the SS1 intro hit me with such a strong bout of nostalgia that I started reinstalling the game right then and there. Shadowrun (sega version)'s main theme has the same effect, as does Deus Ex: IW's, and basically anything associated with Jesper Kyd (I have the OSTs to all four Hitman games + Freedom Fighters on my MP3 player).

What gaming music (or imagery, or references) has this effect on you?

Mechwarrior 2 OST. Best ever.

I've got the MW2 + MW2: Mercenaries soundtracks on my HDD; great for programming background music

In terms of nostalgia, stuff like Doom, Sonic 1, Monkey Island 1+2, Day of the Tentacle and Keen 4. I tend to get goosebumps when I hear some of that music today, totally ingrained into my little nerdy brain from back then.

In terms of just damn good soundtracks? God of War 2, Uncharted, Medal of Honor, Shadow of the Colossus, Psychonauts, The Katamari Games to name a few.

ss2, age of empires 1 and quake 2 - best!

[Skacky]

Quake 1's is my favorite one, I have it on my mp3 player and I listen to it pretty often.

I also absolutely love Diablo 1 and 2 OSTs, when I hear them I immediately want to bash monsters again, and not to mention Unreal and Deus Ex OSTs too!

SS2, Q2, few Hitman's, Kingpin

First few that came to my mind.

I brought the DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu arcade board while I away in Japan (yes, it wasn't cheap) and cloying nostalgia is its every aim. During the stage 4 hidden boss (who is from DDP) the music is from DDP:DOJ... ah, nobody understands what I'm saying. It's just awesome, okay?

And and daiblo 2. Most atmospheric music ever. And discworld noir, my god that was soooooooo good too. Must. Reinstall.

[Furyo]

I've recently listened to the FF7 soundtrack...

And I re-installed the game on my PC last night....

And I'm already 1hour in, going with Aerith to her house.

Man, Fable really did have a good soundtrack. Very fitting for the world it was set in.
