The title speaks for itself. The C64 had some of the best video game music ever! So I'm requesting that you post a Youtube clip from your favourite C64 games.

My first selection is the haunting theme from "The Master of Magic":

Thanks for the first comment SKTTR! I've read good stuff about both "Commando" and "Ghost n' Goblins" for the C64. The music was cool.

Here's another one of my favorites "The Great Giana Sisters":

The C64 Platoon intro - I even managed to find a way to get it to play through the first level (long forgotten):

Got the 'Hollywood Pack' I think it was called, one Christmas, also had Miami Vice and The Great Escape...

I can't post a link on my Wii but Flimbo's Quest had some great music. Check it out.
