    Vectorman and Earthworm Jim 2. Especially that song in EW2 that plays in Lorenzo's Soil. I always think of the one year it snowed a ton in my hometown and I went outside and played in the snow and then came back to my house and played EW2 for hours. The music in Star Fox 64 definitely brings back some memories too.

    Tony Hawk Soundtrack - Superman by Goldfinger

    This song will always remind me of my childhood. I almost feel kind of sad listening to it right now. Life was good when I was spending hours in front of the tv with my brother trying to 100% this game. Now he's in Australia and I haven't seen him in over a year and I have no idea if and when I'll ever see him again.

    May as well post a link...

    That was the one that always stuck in my head, years after I last played the game. I didn't play the game for many years (I lost the disc around 1998), then I finally found it in 2006. The memories flooded back for me.

    How did I forget F-Zero? Some great music there, F-Zero GX may not be old enough to really get nostalgic about, but hearing the music still brings back memories considering how much I played the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYdsIL-LSq0
    IMO, F-Zero GX was way more fun than Wipeout HD.

    And yet this song's lyrics become haunting as we grow older.

    For me, definitely Mario themes and Zelda Kakiriko Village theme as well as any Link to the Past music esp. light and dark world map theme songs.

    WOW thank you guys, for making me in a such nostalgic mood :) MANY of the ones you have mentioned are my favourites too, and they make me nostalgic, and Legit. You should check out some of the wilderness covers from golden axe on youtube. There is one which has a nice and tight (good) hip hop beat to it, and another that would fit perfectly to a film of Golden Axe. But also a lot of Amiga game themes makes me nostalgic (too many to mention), but anyway a game theme that makes me jump and down in a nostalgic mood is the theme from Bubble Bobble on C64

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gggp9JkY1Pk

    But I could go on and on for hours, I could make a list of so many favourites on different systems, God here is another one that makes me nostalgic

    Asterix on Master System

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8l5rDBK4bA

    Psycho Fox

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgJNaLo2uH4

    But as I said, there are TOO many to choose and too MANY system to pick from.

    Alex Kidd In Miracle World, Wonderboy 3, and I could go on in mentioning game themes that makes me go nostalgic.

    The most epic Kirby song in existence! :love2:


    Also... Chrono Cross!
    Viper Mansion theme
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J6GizzZoqI

    Not my favorite Cross song, but definitely sexy... and its funny to compare it to Radical Dreamers, cuz if you never played it you wouldn't know that Chrono Cross takes many songs straight from it. Just compare the SNES counterpart to the song posted above, it sounds just as good!

    And the SNES version of Frozen Flame...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmKbAUxZJK4&feature=related

    Just as enchanting as the PS1!

    Also, speaking of Chrono....
    Boss Battle 2

    alright, I promise I am done.... for now ;]
