    I am a big Turrican / Chris Huelsbeck music fan, on Amiga, Genesis, Arranged, Anthology, and Orchestral. Epic stuff.

    Turrican, Turrican II, Turrican III (Amiga):





    Turrican Anthology Vol 1 (of 4 volumes, vols 2-4 are also on YouTube):



    Turrican II Orchestral (Turrican Orchestral Selections is also on YouTube):



    There is also the original Arranged album and the Mega Turrican (Genesis / Megadrive) soundtrack on YouTube.

    The Mega Turrican (Genesis / Megadrive) version of the Turrican III soundtrack (Amiga) is quite different sounding from the Amiga because it mostly uses FM rather than samples. I like both versions.

    My favourites are the Amiga and the Orchestral versions. Pity the Amiga only had 4-channel sound, with the two pairs of channels being hard panned. The Amiga sound chip (Paula) was definitely ahead of its time, but they should have updated it when the AGA chipset came out.

    All albums are available for purchase from Chris Huelsbeck's Bandcamp page: https://chrishuelsbeck.bandcamp.com/

    It's a bit late but let me share some of my favorite video game tracks with you. Have you listened to ""Ezio's Family"" from Assassin's Creed II? It's a musical masterpiece that perfectly captures the spirit of adventure. And for some nostalgic vibes, you can't go wrong with the 8-bit classics from the Mario series. Those catchy melodies are just so memorable!
    When it comes to epic sci-fi vibes, the Mass Effect series has some incredible techno-infused tunes. The soundtrack by Jack Wall and Sam Hulick is simply out of this world. It feels like they're playing a concert aboard the Normandy!
    Also, if anyone of you is looking for a new game to try, check out bubble cash. It allows making real money online which is pretty cool to my mind.

    Fallout1 and Fallout 2 soundtracks are great for working. Same goes for the Total Annihilation soundtrack.

    I haven't played a video game in at least 10 years, but this is in regular listening rotation for me:
