GodDAMN I want to play that right now!
So I'm sitting here in my office listening to random songs off of my computer when a track from Secret of Mana pops up (Angel's Fear to be precise). It instantly makes me want to ditch work, go home, fire up my SNES, and start a new game of SoM.
I imagine most of us here have some sort of VGM collection, but there are certain tracks that no matter when, where, or how many times I hear it, I always want to start playing that game immediately. Other games that come to mind for me are Actraiser (especially the town music), Illusion of Gaia, and Dr. Mario. What games out there have music that drives you to replay the game for the hundredth time? |
Ace Combat Zero. Every goddamned time I hear that flamenco guitar or even something that sounds like flamenco guitar I have to pop in that game and play a mission or ten.

I've loaded my PSP with a lot of video game music, but if I'm getting close to home and either Faith (Chapter 3) or Butsutekkai - Boss 01 plays then I just have to play Ikaruga as soon as I get home.

They may be stereotypical choices, but listening to pretty much anything from the FF VI and FF IX soundtracks spurs an urge to start them up again. "Something to Protect" and "Burmecian Kingdom" have been the worst offenders lately when they pop up.
"Together We Ride" from Fire Emblem 7 (and several others) always puts me in the mood to pop in a Fire Emblem game. Not any specific Fire Emblem, but I could listen to that on loop forever.

There are a bunch.
Let's start with this one:
I think this one more than any other does:
Also this

Guess I should throw in the particular tracks that make me have to play those games.
I remember burning the Actraiser Symphonic CD just so I could throw this in the CD player in my car and listen to this on long car rides.
Pretty much the best opening theme. Ever.
I couldn't choose just one, so this should do.

|||||||||||
Enemy Health: 0%, Enemy Damage: 100%, Enemy Accuracy: 100%, Enemy Reaction Time: 100%.
Also, the music from Myst--though that's more wishing I could replay it, since it's not much fun to wade through puzzles when you already know the answers. It makes me play other adventure games instead. EDIT: Just thinking about this tune made me turn on Super Castlevania IV.

Hearing this track always makes me pause. The flute opening gives me chills.
And the violin in this one does the same thing.
An alternate version of the previous one, with more of a rhythm to it

2 games stand out right now:
Chaos Legion and Legend of Legaia: Duel Saga.

I know music games shouldn't count, but I've been in love with this song as of lately and everytime I listen to it, I wanna grab my PSP and just start playing some DJMAX.
J-E-N-O-V-A falls into here also. I made a stepfile of this song a while back and everytime I play it, it nudges at me that I still actually have to beat this game. x__x |

And, ANY version of this song makes me want to play through a few of the games:

MMOs hit me hard on this front. Music is a big part of the MMO experience for me, and (aside from lore) if a game has a good soundtrack I'm much more likely to stick with it.
I don't even particularly like Aion that much, but every time I hear this one I have the urge to get back in the game just to catch a glimmer of the wonder I had when I entered a small farming town next to an open field of purple-leaved trees and orange bushes.
Tom Bombadil's House is so fitting (as so much of the soundtrack is):
A couple of more obvious mentions for me: Spoiler:

Ah, and quite related to the Actraiser theme:
I often find myself listening to this tune in my head. |
|||||||||
Same for ActRaiser music but props for Terminus for having played Legaia: Dual Saga, I didn't think anyone else had played that game.
Phantasy Star III:
And then of course, Phantasy Star IV. Spoiler:
And finally, fucking Dragon Quest nes series. God. I can just live with this compilation. I give you III since its my favorite of the 4 on nes. Spoiler:
I don't even replay games anymore but these always make the exception! :D |

Oh wait, I also forgot WEWY. Music fit the atmosphere (plus the game's pretty fun to boot).

Well, I have started singing some of the jazz tunes from Fallout 3. I have also gotten really into the music of Final Fantasy 7 and 8. I own the soundtracks for both of them. I have also heard some great songs from MMOs that I have played.
|
So many, but this one stands out right now.
When I've heard this over the last few weeks, I've wanted to fire up the SNES. |

I've played this game since i was 3. I used to get to this level, then sit back and chill for the ten minutes it took Sonic to die. Then keep playing. Maybe. The rest of the soundtrack for the game was great, too. |

Here's some annoying and commonplace but memorable tracks that immediately remind me of the games they're from.

when I listen to turbo toons soundtrack i immiditealy wants to play turbo toons
It´s the same with otherword and FF 10 :) You know good N64 soundtracks ? |
Definintely one of the few boss themes that make me want to replay the boss battle just to listen to the track again.
