45 tracks, 1:01:46. Samples-
Released in Japan in 1988, Snatcher is a cyberpunk / sci-fi themed adventure game written and directed by the man behind the Metal Gear series, Hideo Kojima.
The music in the MSX version makes use of an additional sound chip that was also used in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, giving the two soundtracks a very distinct and familial feel. Metal Gear’s Theme of Tara makes an appearance in the Snatcher soundtrack as well.
Music composed by M. Ikariko.

Tintin: Temple du Soliel (also known as Prisoners of the Sun) is a 2000 Game Boy Color game based on the Tintin comics Les Sept boules de cristal and Le Temple du Soliel.
The music was written by Spanish composer Alberto Jose Gonzalez, whose work includes several other titles from Infogrames, including Asterix and Obelix. Much like the rest of his games, I found Tintin: Temple du Soliel to have several really catchy tracks that are worth a listen for anyone who likes chiptune music.
WARLOCKED (GB) - MP3 Download (ZIP)
14 tracks, 17:22. Samples-
Developed by Bits Studios, Warlocked was released for the Game Boy Color in 2000. Warlocked is an RTS game in which you can take control of Humans or Beasts in a battle for victory.
The music is by Dutch composer Jeroen Tel, who is most recognized for his work on C64 games. This is, however, my second non-C64 soundtrack from Mr. Tel that I’ve featured. (see: Alien III [NES])
Warlocked includes a sound test with a very cute image of a goblin. When you select a music track, he hammers away on the piano. When you select a sound effect, he opens his mouth!

Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth (or Chitei Senkuu Bazorudaa), is a 1991 sci-fi game for the NES. It features mixed gameplay, including side-scrolling action comparable to shmups, platformer action, and 1st person shooting scenarios.
While I don’t consider it a very noteworthy title for the NES, it does have a fairly interesting story and music to go with it.
I encountered two tracks I couldn’t find playing through the game and they are labeled as ‘Unknown / Unusued’. Unfortunately, the composer is also unknown.
This soundtrack was requested by Wizwars, so here you go!
