Easily Fifa 98: Road to World Cup, with Song2 of Blur the highlight. As a kid, the memories of that game and its soundtrack made a very lasting impression on me. A perfect accompaniment to the game if there ever was one.
I love the soundtrack of Dungeon Siege 2. The main theme is always so catchy and the soundtrack as a whole really brought much atmosphere to the levels.
Heroes 3 music is in the top ten for me too ... I still listen to it before I go to sleep...I would love to have it on vinyl
I also liked the one on Heroes 6 and 7
The reason is because it makes me goosebumps every time I listen.

Lotta great choices out there, but even though it's slipped from being my favorite, and it's certainly a cliche to pick, I'm gonna go with The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. When I was growing up, my sister basically hated me, cuz she was six or seven years older than me. But the one thing we were able to enjoy together was the Zelda games, specifically Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker.

While the other two are certainly great, Majora's Mask stuck out instantly to me from the first time I saw it, a promotional tape somebody showed up at the door with. By the time the game came out, my sister and I'd nearly worn the poor thing out already. Anytime I hear any song from that game, it instantly takes me back to that simpler time, combing over the lands of Termina for secrets, reading off the Kafei quest guide to my sister as she got hung up on walls trying to race the clock, and being terrified of the entire Ikana region.
The Most Epic Music ever in a videogame, TO ZANARKAND from the BEST game ever, Final Fantasy X. It is the sound of my precious youth.

Definitely Kingdom Come: Deliverance. My favorite song, Skalitz 1403, sounds like Jurassic Park in the medieval times. It's amazing.
My favorite soundtrack could be any of the following - FF VII, FINAL FANTAXY X/X-2, or FF XII. All of them are just masterpieces and I could listen to them all day long and not get bored. I love fantasy/epic-sounding music in general, and would love to win the lps very much!
If I were to pick a soundtrack that was the most memorable to me, I would have to pick the Heroes of Might & Magic V soundtrack. The soundtrack is well orchestrated, has such variety to it, and has great composition. The town themes are some of the best in the series, and I find myself sometimes being reminded of them out of nowhere. But not only is this soundtrack so memorable to me because of how good it is, but a big reason as to why it stays so close to my heart is because Heroes V was the first computer game I ever played. My father introduced me to the series as a child and I would watch him play when I was young. I was just so mesmerized by the game itself and its setting, and if it weren't for that game, I might not have even gotten to known about the series. But now I have Heroes 3-7 and have enjoyed not only the gameplay and the art style, but also the music, which is capable of holding such a high quality over many generations.
XENON 2 - MEGABLAST.

This simple assertion should wrap this conversation up, but since an explanation is required I will attempt to highlight how far ahead of their time this game and its associated soundtrack were.

Proper music, by an actual band, delivered at a time when most game soundtracks were limited-bit, barely featured vocals and were certainly not near-credible chart tracks in their own right. You could have (and I think they might even have) released this as a single. However, lay that track over the Bitmap Brothers' orgy of colour and in-game explosive sound, a non-stop onslaught of never before seen weird space beasties and the over-powered destructive capabilities of your ship and the situation adrenal-pumped the dial up to at least 12. On steroids. And acid.

The landscape changed overnight and the lazy, pseudo-epic, prog-synth background music (and that's the real key here - every other game soundtrack until now was purely background music, to be mostly ignored. Megablast was impossible to ignore. It refused to be. It wouldn't let you) that was the norm up until that point collapsed on its collective bum and turned into the audio equivalent of monochrome.

It's a good job Red Bull wasn't around back then. Jesus, we didn't need it anyway. We had Megablast.

Super Nashwan Power, anyone?
My favorite would be the soundtrack from Alicia Dragoon on the Sega Genesis. The music for the first section of the game is an especial favorite because it lifts my spirits and I feel like I'm dancing in the clouds. I don't think there was an official soundtrack made, my brother made a copy for me direct from the game itself.

My brother also made me soundtracks to one of the Sonic games, Bubba 'n' Stix on the Sega Genesis (weird and wacky sounding music but cool), and Gauntlet 4 which has an awesome track. This was back in the cassette days and I still have all those cassettes and they still work!

I loved so much the Heroes of Might and Magic II Soundtrack’s MIDI Version. So charming and sometimes relaxing. The songs that I liked the most were “Grass” theme and the “Battle 2” theme. There were the castles musics too. I really liked the soundtrack in overall
Half Life 1 for me, the eerie atmosphere it creates went perfectly with the visuals and the story building.
I have been using the HoMM4 soundtrack as ambient music for sleep since I first played the game, Floating Across Water and Wandering. Might not have been the best game in the series but the music is still top notch.

Without a doubt, the soundtrack to Final Fantasy VI. (Originally released in the USA as Final Fantasy III.)

For one, it was the first soundtrack to a game that I distinctly remember humming along to as a kid long after I had stopped playing the game that day. (That's right, it beat out even Mario and Sonic for that honor.) It was probably the first game where I started to notice how nice the soundtrack was.

For another, it was just so beautiful and so thematic with the game, even considering the limitations of the SNES at the time. (Though I'm sure at the time they weren't seen as "limitations".) Who can forget the music for the Empire, or the haunting Terra's Theme? I still think of the opera house background music whenever I enter the lobby of a large theater. And whenever Kefka's infamous theme kicked in, I knew things were about to go bad. Plus, so many of these themes helped impress images from the game into my brain, after all these years. I still distinctly remember watching the three mechas marching through the snow as the main theme played in the background. I still distinctly remember the airship flying towards the Imperial capitol, with the searchlights going about, as the music plays. I still remember the horror of Kefka's theme playing as everyone in the castle dies of poison.

I used to have a three CD set of the soundtrack, and I think I still have the ripped MP3 files somewhere in a drive. Either way, it's still stuck with me. It's a part of my childhood, and so lingers into my adulthood to this day.

For me is definetly the soundtrack from Dungeon Siege 1 composed by Jeremy Soule.

It is so epic and memorable... it stayed with me for years. Even now, when I want to listen to something uplifting I am listening to the main theme.
