I guess when you're younger things have more profound impact on you... Being older sucks as everything in life becomes predictable and turn into 'I've-seen-it's

I realize music plays a huge role when it comes to leaving you a lasting impression...

See example:
If this music doesn't get you all nostalgic, I don't know what will...

I know it is a stupid video game but I was a teenager back then, with heightened emotions and an easily stimulated mind... The music gives me chills down the spine... as if I was involved in the plot myself first hand... death of Aeris, Tifa's past, etc...

Example 2:
Chrono Trigger

I remember sitting through the whole ending credits as the music played.. it was so mesmerizing and probably the only game I watched the credit through...

PC Games gotta get some love too:
3. Doom: Those evil midi tracks always gives me the rush to totally obliterate all zombies...

4. StarCraft: Terran's music = Best

Do you have any to share?

Zelda never did it for me. It was an awesome game indeed but it never got me emotionally involved... plot depth and character attachment is nowhere near RPGs (but that's what RPGs do)

I find that generally most good RPG games with good soundtracks can accomplish the emotional feel.

I remember in FF7 after Aerith demise, the music switched to the Jenova music and I was pumped up and ready to annihilate the beast.

actually the farcry music (especially that awesome stuff in the menu) is my most memorable game music ever :D

the number of times i passed out in front of that, and woke up to the menu music at 4.30 in the morning at college ;) with a splitting headache :p

The fight music in mike tyson's punchout! My heart pounding in that big fight trying to beat tyson. Man that game was sweet. Also that music after you win.

And of course, the Final Fantasy music.
