A few that impressed me are...


Monty on the Run- I adore this track ,(is it cut down version on CPC?)
Thundercats-
Elevator Action- Short but great.
Glider Rider- The best reason to play the game.

I always liked the menu music for JumpJet...gotta play it in stereo though for best effect.
Also the Gyroscope music always stuck in my head.

Yeah that Gyroscope is interesting and Jump Jet is a real surprise for its age, really nice effect.

Let us not forget Vindicator
especially level 3 music


and ofcourse Saboteur II
which i use as ringtone ;)

Saboteur 2 - Amstrad CPC

Puresox

Sab2 is pretty cool , Vindicator has some great music, It is also a massive, impressive game. A lot of effort went into that by the looks of it .

MaV

Saboteur II and Glider Rider are great!

And I particularly like the music of Dragon's Lair II. The one level where you sit in the barrel and paddle through the caves is brilliant.
Also, Mission Omega has a very catchy tune.

DARKGATE

NINJA WARRIORS
PLATOON
ALTERED BEAST
GOLDEN AXE
VICTORY ROAD

Do not underestimate the power of AMSTRAD CPC.

I see 2 categories...

Games with an outstanding theme :
- Antiriad
- Aurevoir Monty
- Crafton & Xunk
- Cybernoid 1/2
- Deliverance
- Double Dragon II
- Dragon Ninja
- Le passager du temps (sound like SRAM)
- Saboteur 2
- Zynaps

And games with great in-game tunes too :
- Les passagers du vent
- Orion Prime
- R-Type (128k)
- Renegade
- Rygar
- Shinobi
- TMHT (not released)

Unfortunately, Gryzor and 1943 only get one short repetitive in-game tune.

I don't like the Turrican 2 CPC tune.
I may add it if all tunes exist. But, it's not the case.

Mission Omega is pretty good tune nice beat to it , I have not seen this game before it looks quite interesting on first appearances... It looks possibly like Nether earth???

Well, perhaps a bit obvious to mention Ghost N Goblins & Feud. And i had totally forgotten about the Dragons Lair 2 "down the rapids" music .. and the rest of the game has some really good music as well (like the "run from the boulder" one always got my pulse up). Im pretty sure i dream about the Oh Mummy music sometimes even tho it isnt probably more of a continually looping nightmare.

Some more (might have already been mentioned):
- Antiriad (intro)
- Hero Quest (intro+ingame)
- Ninja Scooter Simulator
- Footballer of the Year
- Death Wish 3
- Thanatos
- Nebulus
- Trantor

This got me to think of the One Man And His Mic podcasts:
http://www.binaryzone.org/podcast/

Show 7 and 10 has some amstrad tunes in them.

Mission Omega has a top-down perspective on the various rooms (not isometric like Nether Earth), and it's not RTS-like. Basically you have to build robots and send them out (either personally or by programming them) to deactivate four reactors (fighting robots on the way, using switches and the like).

I love Rob hubbard's tunes like Warhawk, thing bounces back and Nemesis the warlock  8)

ukmarkh

Shinobi, Dragon Ninja, Xenon, Super Monaco GP, Pacland, MetroCross, Trailblazer and Boy Racer I seem to remember were good...

Puresox

Trolly wally has a lovely rendition of a classic tune!Not a good game tho...

Gryzor

Golden Axe was a great suggestion for a ringtone, thanks.


I ripped it, removed the intro, saved a segment enough to create a nice loop, amplified it and bass-boosted it. It's now my ringtone as well :)

Thanks gryzor, I enjoyed that... shame the game on the CPC was poorly implemented :-(

Gryzor

I'll upload a re-edited version, I cut the beginning loop short by half its bars because it kept dragging on...

Two of my personal favourites are Bactron and Captain Blood.
