The title music of Aliens ... reminds me of the ingame tune of that game, which is among the most fascinating tunes I heard on the Amstrad.
IIRC (not played it in about 25 years) there was also the motion tracker tone which activated shortly before you were attacked?
Yep, that was scary, when the motion tracker started, you could feel the terror creeping under your skin. What a great game.
Video 2
This time 'Dynamic Duo'.
Never heard this cracking music before (by David Whittaker) but that is likely to the poor reviews the game received when it was released in 1988.

This time 'Jail Break' from 1986.
Another excellent David Whittaker composition I've never heard before today but I make up for that by playing it x2.
