About time I did another one of these.

This is definatly not a easy pick, there are so many great themes on the NES, I can’t even count them, I mean I could probably fill up two of these top ten lists with Megaman themes alone.

So I must limit it to one per franchise.

#10

Gremlins 2 - Stage 1

I love this little jingle. I remember I actually used to play the game just to hear this theme. This game is pretty good as well, it’s hard as hell though.

#9

Blaster Master - Stage 1

This one is pure classic. Not only is it a great theme but the game is freaking awesome. But holy god is it hard, but I guess that was a running theme with games back then.

#8

Castlevania 3 - Beginning

Many great themes to be found in the Castlevania series and I consider this one being the best(on the NES that is)

#7

Jurrassic Park - Stage 1

The game is alright at best, but this song is great.

#6

Contra(Probotector)  - Stage 1

The first videogame my parents gave to me(apart from Mario/Duckhunt that came with the system), Probotector is one of the best and memorable game I’ve ever played. It’s still addictive as hell. I do have to admit that I did use the konami code last time I went through it, the game is near impossible without it.

#5

Faxandu - Theme

One of the first RPG games I played back in the day. Apart from this song, all I can remember about the game in any detail is the horribly long password you had to enter to continue.

# 4

Batman - Stage 1

Batman on the NES is one of the few Batman games I’ve played that have given the Dark Knight justice. The soundtrack is overall great but this one stands out to me.

# 3

Super Mario Bros Stage 1

The toughest decision out of all of them since there are so many great songs from Super Mario Bros 1-3. But this one takes the gold mainly for being probably the most recognisable Videogame Theme song of all time.

# 2

Megaman 2 - Quickman Stage

The Megaman series is filled with memorable and awesome music but for me, this one stands out among them, even though it’s a really close contest.

# 1

Legend of Zelda - Outworld

They just don’t get any more classic then this one, it is easily my favorite on any console.

This concludes my top ten favorite NES themes.

Stay tuned for the top ten SNES themes.
