I'm aware there are a couple of game music threads already (here and here), and I'll be going through those to get some ideas, but I also want some more suggestions, specifically stuff that you think is good to listen to on its own, not just good in the context of the game.
So, suggest up to 3 tunes each - just game name and track name/number is fine, but link to a video if you want - and they will be included. And only stuff which is original game music, or an original version written for the game, as opposed to already existing music licensed for use in a game. I'll also probably limit it to a maximum of 2 tracks from the same game.
I'll update the list in the OP as we go. The aim is to find them all on Youtube, and convert the vids to MP3. About 100 would be good.

Oh, in that case I'm of no use here; I can't think of a single unlicensed track from a game I'd chose to listen to out of context.
Edit: for a minute, I thought maybe one of Bowie's tracks from Omikron might be good enough, but I've just gone through them all and I don't think they are.
