Some games have great music throughout. For the moment, though, I wish to recognize games that have one solid main level theme that stays with you long after you stopped playing. Here are a few nominees for best level:
1. Thunder and Lightning: Awesome musical composition. You know it's a classic when you get disappointed when the music stops at the game over screen. The song doesn't change, but it's still well written.
2. Totally Rad: Honestly, I'd keep the music and throw away the game. I put the song on a CD one time and found myself humming along as I was driving. Super catchy.
3. Air Fortress: It sounds like the theme song to Superman. Really liked it a lot. Of course, it's the only song in the game.
4. Adventures of Lolo: It only has one catchy ditty throughout the entire game, but it's not a bad one. With a puzzle game like this, a song has to withstand numerous plays, and it does.
5. Arkista's Ring: Haunting and excellent. If only the game had other songs.
6. Target Renegade: Nothing like a rock n' roll theme while beating the crap out of bikers.
7. Kiwi Kraze: Catchy and overused, yet still pretty great, bearing the repetition.
8. Bubble Bobble: Although very simple, it doesn't grate on your nerves like some video game themes do. There is at least some progression.
9. Goonies 2: Not wild on mos of the music, like the annoying ice level theme, but the instrumental rendition of Goonies Are Good Enough is spot on. I can't think of the game without remembering that tune.
10. Bayou Billy: Pretty catchy, not the greatest, but not the worst.
11. Bad Dudes (Level 1 only): The music seems really appropriate for a level where you're flying on the backs of semis. Not as obnoxious as some.
12. Vindicators: If I remember this game correctly, the theme song deserves an honorable mention.
