Quark:
Oh yeah, WarLocke: Saw 'good, good stuff' as your subtitle and secretly screamed in my head, thinking back to 'the good stuff'. Then I saw the poster and *sigh*. Then I read the topic and hey, now I want to play that game again.
Eh... Why do I feel slightly insulted? ;)
Medicine Man:
Another game that ranks amongst my most memorable is Homeworld. Solid concept and execution, and a decent storyline if you take the time to read the historical information in the manual. Homeworld's music was also quite unique and appropriate. The only other game I can think of that had as memorable a score was Mechwarrior 2.
I agree, Homeworld is on my Top 10. I never finished it, though, because the second- (or third?) -to-last mission (the one with 120+ Ion Frigates guarding the hyperspace inhibitor) simply drove me nuts. But Homeworld's music was indeed incredible.
Have you seen Simone? The movie begins with the first cords of Homeworld's theme. I jumped the first time I heard that...
I don't remember MechWarrior 2's musical score (I have a first-run, DOS-based copy that hates running on XP), but I found MechWarrior 4's (Vengeance/Black Knight/Mercenaries) techno-rock sound very good. The Icewind Dales have very good scores as well, and even Arcanum has some nice bits.
