Super Hang-On (Mega Drive)
1.  Super Hang-On (Mega Drive) by Sega
The list author says:
  "I'm going to put my favourites at the top, starting with this one. The game has four main tracks to be selected before each race and every one is a proper song with solos and everything."

Street fighter ex plus alpha value - Playstation - PAL
2.  Street fighter ex plus alpha value - Playstation - PAL 
The list author says:
  "Forgotten by most, the awkwardly anagrammed SFEXPA boasts one of the finest J-Rock game soundtracks on offer. Fantastic accompanyment to a mediocre, difficult game."

Ristar (Mega Drive)
3.  Ristar (Mega Drive) by Sega
The list author says:
  "Ristar is a beautiful platformer, with some of the Mega Drive's best visuals and one of its very best scores. Later levels are impossible but the music's all accessible from the menu. Win."

Columns (Mega Drive)
4.  Columns (Mega Drive) by Sega
The list author says:
  "Is it fair to include a game for one song? It's my list, and that song is "Clotho", which I love so much I've actually analysed to the point I could so an interpretive dance about it."

Taz in Escape from Mars (Mega Drive)
5.  Taz in Escape from Mars (Mega Drive) by Sega
The list author says:
  "Great main theme for Taz, with a plodding bass and swaggering trumpets, and each of the levels has a great tune or two too. Without sounding like a dew-eyed nostalgist, distinctly 90s sounding."
Used & New from: £1.95

World Cup Italia '90 (Mega Drive)
6.  World Cup Italia '90 (Mega Drive) by Sega
The list author says:
  "The only football game I can play and the final game I've plundered from the Mega Games I cart. If contemporary footie games had music this good running through every match, I'd give them a look in."

Streets of Rage (Mega Drive)
7.  Streets of Rage (Mega Drive) by Sega
The list author says:
  "Ah, Yuzo Koshiro, one of the greats of VGBGM. Responsible also for the alternate Master System version of the Sonic score. This one is a sleazy, greasy gem."

Sonic & Knuckles (Mega Drive)
8.  Sonic & Knuckles (Mega Drive) by Sega
The list author says:
  "Better than Sonic 3. From the Flying Battery to the Death Egg, every track on here is a synth marvel."

Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES)
9.  Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES) by Nintendo
The list author says:
  "Probably my favourite of the Mario scores, despite being the least popular game. Check out Vadrum's Portnoy-esque drum medley on Youtube."

Soul Blade - Platinum
10.  Soul Blade - Platinum by Sony
The list author says:
  "Boasting a huge three soundtracks, it has a J-Rock masterpiece of bombast from Khan, as well as both on orchestral and synth version of the main game score. Timeless music with a great many flavours."

Sonic The Hedgehog 2
11.  Sonic The Hedgehog 2 by "Sega of America, Inc."
The list author says:
  "There is SUCH a groove to each and every track on here, and obviously the 8-bit sound is a delight. A classic soundscape to a maligned and forgotten game, a personal favourite."

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (PS2)
13.  Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (PS2) by Konami
The list author says:
  "Harry Gregson Williams' and Norihiko Hibino's Sons score was good enough, but the new VR mission tracks are in another zone altogether. One of the very best."

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PS1)
15.  Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PS1) by Eidos
The list author says:
  "This, which made me so upset I wept one time, so powerful is its atmosphere. I've included it because it also incorporates some of the second game's great themes."

GoldenEye 007 (N64)
16.  GoldenEye 007 (N64) by Nintendo
The list author says:
  "Takes all the best of Eric Serra's move score (almost identical to the Leon score he did!) but speeds it up for FPS players. Bond theme never sounded better. Except for in the 60s."
Used & New from: £5.00

Mortal Kombat Trilogy - Platinum

The list author says:
  "All I can say is everything about the way Dan Forden writes music speaks directly to me, and this is indispensable. Could be accessed upon putting the disc in a Hi Fi."

Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3)
21.  Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) by Eidos Interactive
The list author says:
  "You'll notice not many of these are from recent games, and the simple reason for that is most games these days strive to be as filmic as possible."

inFamous (PS3)
22.  inFamous (PS3) by Sony
The list author says:
  "As such, as opposed to creating tracks for each level and character, there's sparse soundscapes and cut-scene delights and not much else."
