Probably a boat load of games I've forgotten atm
All games whose soundtrack immediately takes me back to playing them. I often find myself humming some of the tunes because it popped up in my head all of a sudden.

Oh fine, I'll do the damn linking.
I really don't like Hell March 3 though. 2 was pretty cool.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
for vid games... the origional DOOM is very nostalgiac for me, because I played it back when I was in college, smokin reefer, and I would put on these huge headphones and blast it through my reverb emulator so it was all 'big' sounding and my friends and me would take turns smoking joints and playing a level.
The soundtrack to 'conan the barbarian' used to be on repeat back in the day whenever my friends and I got together to play D&D. Basil Poulidorus is an amazing composer for 'soundtrack' kind of stuff (I think he did Braveheart too, I'm not sure.)...
as for even older school, you really can't beat MEGAMAN on the origional NES... that dude made like a techno SYMPHONY for that game, and every level had its own theme. Too bad that game was like going to WAR with your nintendo it was so viciously difficult.
Anybody ever heard of 'the minibosses'? They are a cheesy guitar band who play covers of old video game soundtracks. They do a rockin version of Contra.
I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.
Fitting "Kill-Maim-Burn" music of a "kill-Maim-Burn" game! lots of hours spent

Dude! Where!? I've been trying -forever- to find some of it. There's one really catchy song on one of the early (Like, first 2 or 3 levels) in DOOM 1 that I've never gotten out of my head. I've always wanted to find some downloads for it, but I've never had any luck.
look up 'abandonedwarez' and you should be able to find a free download of Doom if you dig around a bit. You gotta run it with Dosbox though nowadays (unless you are lucky enough (like me!) to actually have a real DOS machine. yeah... I still use DOS.

C:\DOS\RUN

Yeah, Emperor had some great stuff. I think Frank only worked on the Atreides soundtrack. Not sure about the Ordos one, and David Arkenstone did the Harkonnen one.

ahhh the joy of cheesy MIDI sequences... anyone ever play that 'mario paint' game on the old super nintendo... where you get to make little animation sequences and program goofy blips and blops for the soundtrack?
That one was very formative in my... um... pot smoking college years (I was a bit behind the times Playstation existed and I still had my 5 1/4" disks of Apple 2+ games hee hee, I still have a DOS cpter even now. I just like old crusty junk technology).
I imagine it was meant for 5 year olds. But oh my did we have some fun with that. Think DEATH METAL translated into mario sounds with disturbing images of cartoon animals smoking crack or having gay sex drawn by stoners using a keypad controler extremely sloppily... yeah... good times good times.
Morrowind comes to mind when I think of how many times I just left it on in the background just for the soundtrack... it loops and loops and rises and falls and it's all symphony-ish and you can go to sleep to it and you wake up and its still on...
