my definition of retro is anything before 2004

Megaman Soundtracks (all of them)
Street Fighter II
Final Fantasy VI->IX & Tactics Soundtracks
Castlevania II
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
LoZ: A Link to the Past
Ducktales, Chip & Dale, & just about every Capcom game released between 1985->1998

id also like to add to my list, forgot one of my favourites (sadly) Corneria from starfox.

Ice Cap Zone Act 1 & 2 (Sonic 3)
Death Egg Final Boss music Metal Sonic & Robotnik (Sonic 2)
Casino Night Zone (Sonic 2)
Oil Ocean (Sonic 2)

Megaman 2 Intro
Pokemon Red,Blue,Green,Yellow (Pokemon Master Battle Theme)
Super Mario Bros 1 (first level theme)
Just about all the Paper Mario 64 Music
Kirby All Star (Pretty Much All of It)
All of Chrono Trigger
All of Skies of Arcadia (DC version)
Most of the PSO music from Episode one and 2 (DC versions and GameCube)
Donkey Kong Country 3 (pretty damned nice music there)
Megaman x 1-4 loved em all

Mega Man 2 Dr Wily Stage 1

Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest Bloody Tears

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to The Past (more than 1 song)

Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link Palace theme

Mega Man 2 & 3 intros

All of Chrono Trigger's music is great, but I have a particular fondness for the main theme... it's just so epic.

Since retro is anything before 2004, I'd have to say that Fire Emblem has the best sound track of any handheld game ever.

Also, Sonic Adventure 2 had awesome music IMO (Final Hazard boss music)

Short list, not necessarily in order (how can you compare such beautiful works of art?)...

• Mega Man (definitely #1!)
• One Must Fall: 2097
• MARIO BROTHERS!
• Jazz Jack Rabbit
• Falcon 3.0 (I'd always get hyped up when I heard it)
• Age of Empires (I still listen to this occasionally)
• Commander Keen: Marooned on Mars (I don't recall it having 'music' but, the audio was epic!)

More are unlisted, but this is the main jist of what comes to mind!
