Having only 5 is so unfair to so many great game OST’s. Although you listed some great soundtracks. Chrono Trigger being one of my all-time favs, you’ve missed out on quite a few amazing OST’s as well. To name some of them:
Mega Man 2 – far surpasses Mega Man X’s soundtrack
F-Zero 64
Xenogears
Shadow of the Colossus
Contra
Actraiser – Often heralded as having the best OST of any SNES game.
Shenmue
I’ve personally heard better OST’s than what you guys have listed. What about Final Fantasy VII? Metal Gear Solid(every one of them, including portable ops)? Hell, where’s any of the good mario platformers? What about sonic and his earliest games? All of the zelda game (especially Twilight Princess and Ocarina of time) where are any of these games? Do a better list next time.
Take off both castlevanias and Mega Man and Add, Xenogears and Final Fantasy 3(6 in Japan) SERIOUSLY!! how can you compare Megaman and castlevanias soundtracks to those two, there two of the best video game soundtracks of all time.
Personally I felt FF6 should have had a spot in there. Its my favorite sound track in any game.
Though I guess square soft already had a few games in there.
Definitely Xenogears and FF6.
And Genso Suikoden II.
I think people need to listen to more classic Nintendo soundtracks. The harmony and melody of so many of them coerce so well, if you don’t mind a lack of broad instrument ranges.
For example, Castlevania II, Mega Man III, and Little Nemo the Dream Master.

That made me lose faith in this website instantly.
So the gameplay feels like mistaking sandpaper with your regular loo roll, it doesn’t mean the music is auto-terrible.
Take Silver Surfer, for instance.
Frustrating game, I’ll admit, but certainly not terrible. And with Tim Follin at the helm of H.M.S. Soundtrack, how can you go wrong? Incredible music.
you’re missing Actraiser
Secret Of Mana is amazing

OMG! Nooo where’s M.G.S… Mirror’s Edge… Portal…?
what about the halo sound track everyone knows it and its fuckin epic
why isnt tony hawks underground on here>?
Wow!
I am simply flabbergasted there is no Final Fantasy in there.
I fist started playing games in 1980 on a commadore Vic20.
To this day, the Final Fantasy series has had some of the most beloved and memorable soundtracks of all the games I’ve ever played.
There is a huge following of musicians that play FF music on youtube, check them out.
Absolutely amazing!

I personally like the Final Fantasy, chrono cross and trigger, and shadow of colossus soundtrack.
