I saw a topic about the music of MASK III.
Which reminded me...
I liked the (intro-)tunes of this games a lot too:
* Astro Marine Corps (cool game, cool music)
* Cosmic Shock Absorber (the game is horrible, but the tune rocks)
* Storm (strange game, very nice music)
Anyone who remembers more? It's such a while ago...

Well, this is a cool topic!
- The Light Corridor (Infogrames): it has 5 great PSG tunes! (best music ever!)
- Avenger (Gremlin): coolest main theme.
- Hostages (Infogrames): woah, a groovy tune for the ingame!
- Megaphoenix (Dinamic): great intro song.
- AMC (Dinamic): another cooool one.
And I think "Mystical (Infogrames)" had a great intro song too, but I can't remember that ... and "After Burner" and "Out Run" and "Altered Beast" had great ingame bgms... woa, there are a lot of them! |

My all time favorite still is the Kings Valley 2 endtune. Lot's of musical action in that one. And don't forget such masterpieces as the theme of Terramex and the theme of Dunkshot (the HAL basketballgame). Very catchy. Nemesis 2 also has some great music.
Although it's probably concidered blasfemy here, and I probably get banned for this: try using a .SID player like Sidplay 2. It emulates the sound chip of the C64 (which (I'm sorry to say) rocks!) and there are a lot of original gametunes available on the net. Many European MSX-titels are conversions (Mask III for instance) and the original tunes often sound better.

* Police Academy (think it's something classical though)
* The Apeman Strikes Again (diddo)
* Last Mission (nice drumbreak)
Was there an MSX version of Altered Beast? Cool. Or am I misreading something? |

Sweet Acorn indeed f*cking kicked ass, so did the music! 
But it's Japanese, right? |

- Formula One Simulator
- Venom Strikes Back (oops, this is MASK III, the original topic! ;-)
Very good non-Japanese PSG music |

Ah, now I remember this ones:
* Les Passagers du Vent
* L'Affaire
I agree with most games I see stated here, 'cause I must confess that some of them are not known by me...
