Honestly this song just hits on all cylinders. It starts good but then that hook comes on and it becomes legendary. And I gotta say, I am an old school gamer from the 80s, know everything about NES games, but i NEVER heard this song until a couple years ago, when it started getting used in memes. It's like some alternate dimension Freeman Effect shit.

I like the orchestra version.

It's also great in the new duck tales cartoon.

It's not the best, but it is very very good. I personally am a fan of Gaur Plains from Xenoblade Chronicles 1, though there are a ton of great video game songs throughout history. Maybe one day I'll make a list and post them here.

First stage music of Silver Surfer is amazing too.

The whole soundtrack is fucking banging to be honest. Tim Follin was a fucking wizard when it came to retro game music. He made the NES sound like it had twice the sound channels that it actually did by clever engineering and using the different channels in ways they weren't typically used. For example in the Silver Surfer soundtracks, he made it sound like there was a seperate channel for the bass and the drum kicks by using a different sound channel and downshifting the pitch so quickly that it sounds like a *thump* and then by just timing the bass channel correctly it sounds like they are played in the same channel.

Here's a few more fantastic tracks created by him

The Ducktales Moon theme is so iconic that a bit of it was used in the reboot actually.

I mean they didn't use the actual song but still

I mean you guys are posting some good songs, but legit nothing compared to the moon theme, and I mean the original one. There's something magic about it that creates this joyous feeling of nostalgia, even though I never heard it growing up. I never played that game. Somehow it's like what dreams are made of. It makes my brain think of being a child without a care in the world and an adventure sprawled out before me.

Fine, I'll post arguably in my opinion the most iconic song of the NES era, and no it's not Mario. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE8vKLEK6A8&t=19s

It's good, but I like many Megaman BGMs better, and everything in Shadow of the Ninja.

I alway felt the Maniac Mansion soundtrack never got much love. My favorite is Daves Theme.

Mega Man has always had good music. Look at the beauty I got yesterday. The soundtracks for Mega Man 1-11 on vinyl.
