Anybody else run into video games that are either bad or just unremarkable but that have great music? I always hate to see perfectly good songs get squandered by being stuck in mediocre games so I thought I'd start a thread where we give them some love.

I always liked this theme from that game:
Mystic Quest had great music in general. Final Fantasy always has great music imo even if it ends up getting ignored in less-played games.

They're underwhelming now but I remember Shadowgate (NES), Dragon Warrior 1 (NES), and Faxanadu (NES) had some pretty epic scores.

You can find good music in some weird places. I'm still trying to locate some good late 70s music that I heard in - yes, you're reading this correctly - a porn movie.

The entire soundtrack to this game was brilliant if you like dirty 70s funk. It came on a second disk that you could play in a normal CD player. So I did. Far more than I ever played the game.
