90s Game Music Thunderdome Nomination Thread

Issun

It's time to travel back to the era of grunge rock and Tamagochis, Hammer Pants and 90210s. We did a 90s video game music dome years ago on the old boards, and it was super fun, so I figured, why not a new one for a new forum?

Nominate up to four tracks from any video games that were released between 1/1/1990 and 12/31/1999. If it was released in a different country in the 1980s, but in your country in the 90s, it is allowed. If it was released in a different country in the 90s, but in you country in a later decade, it is likewise allowed. I'm not trying to be too much of a stickler here.

The music must have been composed specifically for the video game it is from. Only one track will not be allowed and that is the Title Theme from Mega Man 3, as it won the previous 90s dome.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM PST on September 30th.

Please feel free to ask any other questions that occur to you.

I keep being surprised by how long it's been since I've listened to the original versions of a lot of these tracks. I have a lot of remixes and orchestrated versions that I mainly listen to.

Dark Star - Secret of Mana
Facility - Goldeneye
Robotnik's Boss Theme - Sonic 2
Weird Counterpoint- Seiken Densetsu 3 (This is not the best rip of the track so I'm going to keep trying to find a better one) Updated

90s is such fertile ground it's almost too easy (or too hard). So I'll just toss in some of the first that come to mind 'cause why not:

Chrono Cross - Scars Left by Time
Final Fantasy VI - Terra's Theme
Zelda LttP - Dark World
Wild Arms - Into the Wilderness

(whoops, not enough room for SotN Vampire Killer, dang)

I'll nominate some songs soon, but I feel like I missed the early boat and now all the best stuff is claimed so this'll require some thought. XD

I know Issun didn't ask for it but I think it would interesting to know what the release years are for the games with a nominated song.

Saying that all of the best stuff has been claimed does feel like a bit of an exaggeration to me. I'm sure there are some forgotten gems that could be found by taking a fresh trip down memory lane.

Two more people with four submissions each and we reach a 64 track symmetrical bracket, so I might extend it a couple of days to see if we can get there, but once we have 64 tracks that would be the cutoff.
