Can we have a thread about retro video game music?

The more obscure the better.

It's funny, I own the Ocean Flinstones Game, but I can't for the life of me remember the composer. That track is good, but a lot of the others were subpar.

Good track from a great game.
The genesis version was better- you know it to be true.

Oh and the composer for the Ocean Flinstones Game was Dean Gray apparently.
