I've never actually played the game myself, but I like this one very much:
Duck Tales (NES) Music - Title Theme

I don't think either of those really count as obscure...

One of them is well-known enough to have been included in one of the Humble Indie Bundles, and the other is the source of one of the most overrated 8-bit compositions of all time.

Before I get crucified, I'm not saying The Moon theme is bad, I just mean it's not as amazing as a lot of people give it credit for.

I guess. I just happened to be thinking of it when I saw this topic. I can't really think of any obscure, amazing soundtracks at the moment. The OST to Simcity 4 is one of my all time favorites, but then it's not very obscure, rather the opposite.

I've always had a special place in my heart for the music in Pok�mon Mystery Dungeon.

Battle w/ Dialga
Don't Ever Forget
Through the Sea of Time
Main Theme
Exploration Theme

And then there's Disco Just Won't Cut It This Time by SMILETRON, from Waves. Top that.

Outcast had a great soundtrack.

I love how the majority of these aren't obscure

It is and it isn't.

I'm pretty much the only one who has actually posted obscure games.

I have a few more, too. I wonder why most of these are NES games?

Asterix (NES)
Magician (NES)
8bit killer (PC) *

* May not count, because I don't think the game's music was composed specifically for the game

That's not even close to being obscure.
