Context makes this song so much sadder.

I think one of the better video game pieces of music is Caverns of the Heart and is a built in sample of the NoteWorthy Viewer (free).

I was going to post some Persona 3 music, but I was already beaten to it.

Not with that much energy behind it - no. "Sad" needs a lot more than a minor key!

Ground Control has a pair of tracks that really get me every time:

Since Chrono Trigger was mentioned, there is also this:

This is the saddest, most depressing song I have ever heard. And yet, it is beautiful.

I was unable to find a satisfactionary version on youtube of this theme, so I post link to a version on my soundcloud account: Lufia 2 - Fortress of Doom

I've replaced all instruments with modern software synthesizers and put on some effects like slight reverb some places.

Arcanum - Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura (on the PC) has a lot of sad/melancholic tracks.

Their Youtube channel contains many songs from Arcanum played by the same string quartet.
