These are some great suggestions, guys! :) I added most of these to my own setup. Keep them coming!

Haha! I can't tell you how many times I've heard this! We had this at my work for many years and finally changed it to something else last year!

@backstander and the guy who wrote it got exactly $0 for it.

The best sounding system is scarse in your list: PC Engine. Only 2 TG16 tracks, and not even the best.
Some PC Engine titles are even better than the arcade versions:
Galaga 88
Kyukuoku Tiger
Dragon Spirit
Bomberman tunes (If you wanna laugh, play Sega Mega Bomberman afterwards)
Space Harrier

And IMO Sonic 1 and 2 for the GameGear are filled with outstanding chiptunes, outclassing the Megadrive cousins.

@blanka Yes, and I feel terrible for it. I'm just starting to get into the TG16 library, and would love to know more. I know about some shooters, Air Zonk, Super Soldier Blade, Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire, Lords of Thunder, ... but that's it. Thanks for your suggestions, don't hesitate to link any song in particular you wouldn't want me to miss!

Sir can i ask what emulator did you used for outrunners for rpi3? Im having problems with the rom or emulator compatibility, tried it mame4all, advmame, mame2003, mame2010. It works on mame2010 but it is very slow and unplayable same with run and gun2. Hope you can find time to help me. Thanks!

synack

Here's an odd ... but a good one.

It's been used for the gameboy game robocop, washing machine commercials, and most recently in the documentary "how video games changed the world".

BuZz

@synack have that as my ringtone ;-) classic tune.

felleg

@Ditch123 wrong thread, but I just looked and it seems I can't run out runners on my Pi either. I just assumed it would, since I was able to make it work on a Windows emulator. Sorry about that!

Concat

My all time favorites. Most are non-obvious, but you are insane if you don't like them.

Sonic Chemical plant is amazing:

Mortal Kombat opening theme is super catchy:

Contra Hard Corps level 1. Never failed to get me pumped up:

Robocop vs Terminator theme song on Game Gear:

Batman Returns on Game Gear

Chuck Rock on Game Gear (yeah, I was a game gear kid)

ANNNND this isn't from a game. It's from Psilodump, an 8bit music artist.

And the entire MGS1 OST is super atmospheric. It's fantastic.

I don't know why but the Wii Shop Channel Music always reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.

Pretty post, If we finally choose a song from a not too popular singer maybe the can skip copyrights issues ("publicity" of the group" in rpi!), well there goes my two options:

Hilltop Hoods >:D :

Zelda (this version in violin):

See ya ^^

cyperghost

Only tracked music IS music :D

For Retrogames only use music made in retro-style :D

Crusader - No Remorse & No Regret: The full soundtrack

No tracked but also Retro ... and the ambient is great! (You would call it "Lounge Music" nowadays)
UFO: Enemy Unknown - GeoScape

@DorkVonWaterfall said in Music suggestions for your RetroPie menu Music:

@goodpi31
i actually think that the guys who made GnG stole the bassline from Cindy Laupers "She bop"
44 sec in the video, listen and compare

Okay since you posted Cyndi Lauper, I have to post Goonies II for the NES.

Brigane

Amazing soundtrack from the video game "Machinarium".
