What were some underrated soundtracks from the bygone age...Preferably 16-bit and 8-bit, but fifth gen is cool too.

I don't feel like the Genesis Jurassic Park game gets enough credit for it's soundtrack. I've even heard people call it forgettable or terrible, but I personally love it and even have it on my phone to listen to.

Anyone that's ever played Gimmick! always talks about the amazing soundtrack, so I don't know why you would think it's underrated. Unless you think "underrated" means "obscure" which is stupid. "Underrated" means somebody gave it a lower rating than you thought it deserved. In order to give it a rating, they would have to know about it first. You are fucking retarded.

Puggsy, specifically on the Amiga.

Underrated game and soundtrack.
One of the earliest games I can find with a damn physics engine. Had a demo of this as a kid and played through it every Sunday.

Couldn't find a non-genesis upload, so here's a longplay.

The music is very good the whole way through, though the intro doesn't really sell it.

Depends, there's a lot of them, with varying styles of gameplay. There's the first person view ones, the top down ones, and then the third person ones.

Overall, they're a serious part of video game history and are rumored to be what partially inspired Zelda.

Someone's recorded and uploaded full soundtrack rips of two Mario Artist games, Paint Studio and Talent Studio, with Communications Kit ready to be posted some time soon. Not perfect sound quality (unavoidable SFX for some tracks, volume correction also), but N64DD rips are rare already. Some highlights from Paint Studio:

Worth noting that, while more than a few tracks can be identified as Totaka's, others were done by a trio of sound guys working at the Western studio behind Paint Studio.

Now for Talent Studio, which takes a different approach:
