Playing Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe on GG, I stumbled upon this piece, that kept flying around my head even after laying down the handheld 8) It's a theme playing in some of the dungeons:

Sometimes even small spinoff games provide decent music to listen to while playing.

Another all time favourite: Goldeneye 64 - Aztec

I'm not completely sure but I always figured Just Blaze was inspired by this when producing Busta Rhymes - Everybody rise again :P

Or are my ears f'ed up already? :o

I found a quite nice piece of 8bit music in a Sega Game Gear game, that I currently play: Crystal Warriors

The music is credited to MACKY in the game, I'll try finding out more about this as soon as I finished the game and review it in the 52 Games Challenge.

Title: Battlefield 4 (playing in rounds 15 and 16):
https://youtu.be/5YFjXNNoq5k?si=bhonwIaAzmIkGVjr

Overall the games music is decent for a Game Gear title, but most tunes sound happy and lively besides this one 8)

dhaabi:
While this specific song wouldn't be considered retro, it is a modern rendition of a song from Super Mario 64 that's a part of the Mario Kart World soundtrack. It's one of the best gaming tracks I've come across in a modern game in a good while. Here's "Piranha Plant's Lullaby".
