Treasure Hunter G, yeah! I remember picking this game up as an exchange student a decade or so ago and being entranced by the soundtrack. Bahamut Lagoon too, but THG beats it.

I too love Secret of Evermore. There's an arranged version of 10 or so tracks which is also excellent. This is one of those games that failed to grab me in the first hour or so, but got really good later on, and the music is part of that. The prehistoric era didn't give you much to listen to, but by the time you're in Antiqua and grooving on that pyramid music, or in the medieval era (whose name eludes me now), the music is sublime. And wasn't Jeremy Soule something like 19 or 20 years old when he composed this?

The one thing I didn't like about the SNES SIm City soundtrack was that Metropolis seemed to play for too long -- you get your city up to 100k people and then it's a very long slog before you can get to 500k and Megalopolis. I definitely preferred the background music of Town and Village!

About every track in that game is awesome. There's also a beta version that includes totally different music, but I don't know if it's on YouTube yet.

PAL GAF represent!

I feel like choosing games from Squaresoft is akin to cheating I mean Bahamut Lagoon may have been one of the lesser known titles but is the magic entrancing!
I'd choose Terranigma and Fzero's big blue personnally for the lesser known tracks... (with a slice of BoF/BoFII)

This game was translated into English by fans, and it's one of the best fan translations I've ever seen. They put an amazing amount of work into it, inserting variable-width fonts where there previously were none, deconstructing the magic-word system and reenabling it using English-like words, and writing line after line of humorous dialogue. I had played the original, but loved it all over again in this form. Wow.

I think I like SNES-ifiying music more than NES-ifying.

The Highwind theme works especially well.

Oh my god it makes the FF7 Theme 100x better. Almost makes me wish Uematsu stuck with FFVI sounds somehow, instead of the crappy midis they went with!

Something about the orchestration of each of these and the game in general just made them absolutely perfect for their respective settings. Rare to hear music which goes to such great lengths to more fully immerse the player.
