That game has such good music that you would make mp3s out of them and listen to them when not playing the game. The theme music of Zelda has always been amazing.

No way, it was awesome. Especially the Tristram music, which is quite possibly the best song ever created.

reciprocate and post up some links

Now this is the best video game music ever.

Listen to the Gerudo valleys, Kakariko village, Zora's domain and everything else that is up there. Love it.

Heh, it plays just fine, and its the best I can do right now. I'll try more later on. Works good in WMP.

I think the main Max Payne song is by 'Apocalyptica'.

Very similar violin cello parts, great music. Not positive, but pretty sure.

Deus Ex, Diablo, Mafia, Marathon 2: Durandal all have better theme songs.

EDIT: I almost forgot Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.

Diablo's soundtrack was possibly the best computer game soundtrack ever. I am talking about Diablo one, not two.

edit: I wish I had a sample, unfortunately I don't. Still looking for the soundtrack on the web.

Most RPGs have really good music. As far as I know, that is the only genre where it is pretty much a standard to hire a composer to make up the songs. I could be wrong about that, but it is just what I have noticed.

I also liked the WC3 music a lot.

Yes! I remember hearing that music while playing C&C Red Alert for the first time! Wow! Loved that game. Loved it so much that I bought C&C: The First Decade.
