Back in January I made a little post titled “Ten Great Video Game Music Themes” and said that I hoped to make it a recurring “segment” on my blog. I of course intended to add another such post soon after but got a bit caught up in other things. But now I have finally gotten around to writing another such post for your reading enjoyment.

Once again, keep in mind that this isn’t a top ten list. It is merely my acknowledgment of ten great pieces of video game music. I will list them in chronological order.

The same rules apply as last time.

• Only one theme per any particular game on any one list. So even if a game has a soundtrack consisting of a wide array of awesome music, I can only pick one at a time, and I’ll have to wait at least until the next list to pick another.
• To avoid any one franchise from dominating the list, the number of games representing each franchise will be limited to one or two games per list.
• Music must originally be from the game. I made something of an exception last time with Tetris’ classic “Type A” theme. But that’s Tetris so it can do as it wants.

And as I promised last time, I was sure to throw a couple of more obscure themes into the list this time around.

So without further ramblings: Ten Great Video Game Music Themes II!
