Do you know which version of Xenon Megablast continues music during play? I have a version that only plays the famous tune at the title screen.

As far as I know it was an option, selectable before starting a game. If you leave music on it will continue playing during gameplay.
All the versions I have both 1 and 2 disks are like that.

This one is really, really great. It's a remix/ replayed version of Castlevania, done by deadmau5 and it totally ROCKS!

Another cool one: Metal Gear Solid on the MSX http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C99cdxsUa0Y

Yeah, I love the Mario songs! I hope you guys know Martin Leung!

Insane what the guy is doing there.. note that he plays the first song blind!
`Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, `if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.'

Not really a music but a sound FX on the C64 that really scared me to death back then.
You're alone in your room, it's late, you're not supposed to play videogames after midnight.
Suddenly, after the (endless) loading time of the game (on tape of course) a distorted monster voice SUPER LOUDLY screams the name of the game...
CHIMERA! CHIMERA!
Check it here at 44'.
