This song instantly brings me back to those summer evenings with my Nintendo Gamecube https://youtu.be/q-ZiCJnUYPA
Man picking just one feels impossible. Been browsing the thread on my phone/tablet and I can understand the limit (though it hasn't been THAT bad). As many here I got so many I could probably fill 10+ pages with this stuff but I'll narrow it down to 2, just because of my mechbros here. I hope VNs count as a game. Made me cry at the time, and still evokes emotions. There is also another track in the same (game) which is a gutpunch of feels and nostalgia https://youtu.be/tRRYcKNxAnU https://youtu.be/KySfnFe86GM Always gets my blood pumping with its creepy sounds and equally creepy boss for a mech game.

When I first played Allied Assault as a kid, I honestly had the best experience with Schmerzen. I was playing the part at the very end of the last level, and it was the part where you have to escape. During the last bit where everything was blowing up, the part of the dong at 2:46 kicked in and it is still my favorite gaming moment to this day.

I don't know if this counts because it's not composed FOR the game, it's an actual classical piece by Chopin, but it plays during the first stage of Clock Tower 3 throughout the entire level (the backstory is that the entity playing the tune is a young girl who was brutally murdered with a sledgehammer, and she keeps messing up the last few notes in this clip, because of this she feels like she's failed her father and she's trapped as a ghost, forever unable to complete the piece, while simultaneously being haunted by her own killers demon over and over. By the end, once you've vanquished the murderer you set her spirit free and she becomes able to finish the piece and unite with her dad who died in the war). Fantastic game and every time I hear this play across the level I get uneasy and it kicks up my paranoia because I'm just WAITING for the enemy to spawn light right around the corner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9dNpIUSgMs
