Let the nerdiness begin. I have a file full of video game music, so I've posted some links below of my favorite ones. Post some of your favorites here. Youtubes, mp3s or just names if you don't feel like uploading. http://putstuff.putfile.com/ is what I used (you have to click next until download, it's easy).
Generally, I lean towards a lot of techno sounding beats and some orchestrated melodies.

And everything on the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack :heart
If you want a great place to find OSTs or rare game music, I suggest connecting to DC++ and going to the VGM hub (vgmcentral.no-ip.com). That's where I got most of mine. OCremix (http://www.ocremix.org/) is another great place and where I found all of the remixes above, but it's soley remixes (no originals) of favorite gaming songs.

Awesome thread. Ive done a few like these that have failed miserably... :lol
Probably because I always start by pimping: Earthbound (best snes soundtrack EVER)
I love all the songs in the game but here are a few of my favorites.
Paula's theme - It's a very creepy song that turns into something beautiful and I'm a sucker for sad songs.
http://putstuff.putfile.com/75403/5494893
Battle 10 - might be a boss battle theme I can't remember, either way...its amazing.
http://putstuff.putfile.com/75411/4957305
Ride On the Sky Runner - a song played when you are riding a UFO, its so very awesome.
http://putstuff.putfile.com/75409/3644289
I could go on forever with this one. Honestly whenever I feel sad or whatever I just listen to some of these and the nostalgia or whatever kicks in and I feel better.

Chrono Trigger, another of my favorite snes rpgs with a good soundtrack. I really like the wind instruments they use in this game and its sequel.
I really like the battle themes from this one...but my favorite is when facing Magus.
The Battle with Magus for example is fucking EPIC:
http://putstuff.putfile.com/75413/4199655
Oh and heres the wind scene (600 AD music) on piano:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hgIWUFdcWb8
Now I love Chrono Trigger and have skipped a lot of good songs because I feel the sequel(s) does music better...
The following is from Radical Dreamers which was later remade/rewritten into what we know as Chrono Cross.
Star Stealing Girl, almost the same song as the one in CC, it was changed a bit and I prefer the older version:
http://putstuff.putfile.com/75416/6546151
There are 15 songs in radical dreamer all of which made it into Chrono Cross ( including gale >:( ) I believe and well I like most of them more on chrono cross.
Chrono Cross...imo Scars Of Time should win an award for best fucking opening song ever in a videogame or some shit.
Watch it Here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WA2B95RNRWU
wasting too much time, more later..

FF7 8 and 9 have the best game music of all time. Fact.

You think I don't know this already? :D
but to be honest, I haven't heard much from them. Maybe 12 songs orso. A lot of them cant compare to the originals. One Winged Angel for Advent Children was some badass shit though.

It's true and you can all call me a japafag for this, I don't care. This one time, maybe I deserve it.

Anything from FF VIII
-
I'm surprised no one mentioned the original Super Mario Bros theme. Almost every gamer knows that song. There was a guy playing it on a piano at E3.
-
Killer 7 is better than almost all orchestrated rpg garbage. Save Actraiser.
Russian Roulette.

really? Its known, sure, but good?

no mentions of Silent Hill? So good they scored 90% of the movie (at least it felt like it) with game compositions.

friggin classic.
anyways...
(http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/51FMKRT814L._SS400_.jpg)
had some really wonderful great orchestral compositions, and some unforgettable piano tracks. The music was so great I gladly put up with so much of the game's quirkiness.
and ICO had wonderful music to go with its gravy everything else, I was watching some videos of it yesterday I got misty just hearing the music again.
You can have the best tech in the world, but the games that have I always found to be the most affecting were ones with great music.
and I'm probably alone in my D2 love, aren't I? Great music though, seriously.

I can never get tired of that song. It ends around 2:20...I don't know why there is added silence in that youtube video.There are much more to name, maybe another time since it's getting late.
