I live and breathe video game music. Seriously, most of the music I have is either video game tracks, or remixes.
Me too! But not remix only arranges and "remasters" or "re-orchestrations".
Instead of listening to a remix I will download the OST (beginning from the era of the SNES a lot of the good games had their own official OST released in fan clubs and Nintendo Power platinum members, those are now scattered all over the <v^ place ^v>), just found FLAC for Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and it's just great to have.

q.Q' I did a OST thread in the music section that included TV and Video Game music! *sighs* still my favorite Game OST's are
Metroid Prime [GC] [Only the first one, the other 2 just remix trax from the first :/]
Custom Robo [GC]
Front Mission [SNES]
Tetris Attacks [SNES]
I'd post videos but youTubed is blocked for me atm :3
Those are GREAT SOUNDTRACKS, even though I only know two of them. But they would be among my all-time favorites also. Tetris Attack (no "s") and Metroid Prime (ONE, and only with superb music... the menu theme is visceral to me, it flows through all my body and my brain and influences my mood).
I like these two so much right after my post I'm going to Google and listen to Front Mission... I know Custom Robo the game, I think it's like Cyber Troopers Virtual-On by Sega (arcade and then later Dream Cast game, that I discovered in Sega Ages collection of Sega classics for PS2).
I'm not a fan of music after the 16 bit... I listen mostly to SNES and Genesis, and then NES and Game boy. Even the N64, still chip tunes, sounds too orchestral and Hollywood movie-like to me.

My favorite video game song. Have had it as ringtone for ages.
This thread needs to know about artist video game music arranger Saitama "S.S.H" Saisyu Heiki (Saitama's Ultimate Weapon, or something like that, in English).
Now is the time!
I think it's synth metal, but I call it "slash" metal because it's so furious.
His only official album:
(Made in Saitama, because that's what it is)
S.S.H is a self-taught keyboardist and then guitarist. He has been distributing his music on his website for free but he stopped doing that in january 2012, so you need to use torrents. He isn't has prolific and his best years are already behind. He has grown to become (with the help of his vast port-folio) a real video game music composer and producer, making metal music for Japanese shooting and fighting arcade games. Sega even had him do the whole soundtrack for their Gain Ground recollection of classics on the PS2 I told you about earlier. He also made a special edition arrange CD of the Atelier Iris RPG series on the PS2. And that's about it (all the tracks he made and released one by one on his website and the only CD, the original sound tracks, and the special arranges), I strongly encourage you to discover that stuff, it's really original, if you like metal and energic music.
Here's probably my fave video game mix...Almost 13 minutes of pure awesomeness.
As a fan of Castlevania... this is extra special.
Another pretty of S.S.H's songs (a Castlevania medley too):
