Dune, the game soundtrack composed by Stéphane Picq in 1992. Immersive sounds carry us to the deserts. Fights with us in the Fremen Sietch, in the Harkonnen fortress to defeat the Emperador at the end.
Definately Chrono Trigger (SNES).

There are very few games that have such a perfect combination of sound, symphony and tension blended with the different iconic moments from a video game. So many memorable moments and (character) plots/development accompanied by wonderful music. You can feel the story come to life, from smooth ambience (i.e. on the world map) to epic boss fight music and key events (i.e. Frog getting a repaired Masamune back and opening the mountain cave).
really enjoyed the celeste soundtrack, there's one particular track that i really fell in love with
Sega CD - The Terminator by Brad Fiedel. I still listen to this while jogging as it has great pacing. I only wish there were nore tracks and more albums.

If i were choising a heroes ost it would be the first HOMM as the harpsichord is a favorite instrument. Good solid sound.

Persona 3.

It was very different from other game soundtracks I'd heard up to that point and introduced me to new styles. I played P3 just after I moved out of my childhood home and had a big impact as I was experimenting with my new identity. The game's themes influenced me for years to come, and I still revisit the soundtrack occasionally to help me through a hard time. It makes me feel stronger than I am.
Baldur's Gate 2

It gives me goosebumps.

The different tracks and where they trigger are spot on. Relaxed and mellow with nature and fauna sounds when adventuring in the country side, hustle and bustle with unintelligible voices on top of each other when going through a market or busy capital city streets.

The way music shifts from one scene to another is also brilliant, it goes from mellow to inquisitive, and then to an agitated deep, dark theme with powerful brass instruments which gets your adrenaline pumping when fighting dragons. Its like the music itself is trying to tell you that venturing forth is dangerous and possibly deadly.

Still listening to the soundtrack after 22 years...

Hands down, the Jeremy Soule-penned Icewind Dale soundtrack. From the haunting theme of Easthaven to the quiet, contemplative sounds of Kuldahar, to the heart-pumping battle music. I hear those sounds and I’m instantly transported to being a kid, sitting at the computer and being swept away into an adventure I’ll never forget.
My favourite soundtrack has to be the opening theme to Sid Meyers Pirates! Gold on PC. It just gets you in the right mood to go sailing the open seas hunting for treasure!
Command and Conquer. The soundtrack just keeps pushing forward with a few mellow tracks (if you didn't shuffle or edit the tracklist) Whether it's sending a giant blob of gunners or harassing the GDI with Nod buggies, the soundtrack is right there to add the perfect backdrop to the game.
This is a difficult question. Many games have had good music and memorable can be for many reason.

I'm not into metal but I played an still play the original doom. It's soundtrack really fits the game and is a stand-out.

Then there is baldurs gate, dune, and even kings quest and monkey island.

All those and many others have music excellently crafted for the game. But whatever my favorite is, I am unlikely to listen to it outside the game itself.

If I had to pick a favorite for this context I would have to say original command and conquer. That music was absolutely excellent for a game. Narrowly beats out the intro tune for indiana jones and the fate of atlantis adventure.
Witcher 3 - Wild Hunt – Cloak and Dagger!

Because it's tied to the end of one era, one great story. After reading all the books and playing all the games, hearing this song always brings a bittersweet tear to my eye. Bitter because it is the end, sweet because all of the beautiful memories.
This is such a tough question for me to answer, so many choices, and I have always loved video game music.

When I was a teenager I had a Sega Genesis and would send the output of the games to my stereo and record them on cassette to listen to later in the car. I'm sure I was the only guy driving through the neighborhood blasting the Bio-hazard Battle soundtrack from my hoopdi.

To answer the question from a PC game, I'll have to go with Soulbringer. The music in that game just really set the mood and was probably the reason I played through to the end. And yep, burned that soundtrack to CD so I could listen to it anytime, anywhere.
Planescape: Torment - after almost 23 years I still get goosebumps when listening to the Fortress of Regrets theme.
The Deep Roads themes of Dragon Age Origins are absolutely fantastic, and I also like the Mask of the Betrayer theme and opening theme of Icewind Dale.
Homeworld. Adagio for Strings in Mission 3 is probably one of the all-time saddest moments in gaming for me (Though Auron's Theme in FFX is right up there too). Homeworld's soundtrack makes the game an incredibly cinematic experience for the era in which is was released, which is no mean feat.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. One of the best games of all time thanks in large part to the amazing soundtrack.
