I’ve put together a list of 60 tunes that have stuck with me through the years, inspired by Jeffrey Canam (@GrahfMetal)’s Twitter rundown of his top 100 favourite video game tracks. I’ve attempted to limit myself to a couple songs per game, but there are exceptions.

I’ll post them here and on Twitter every Tuesday and Thursday using the hashtag #KongsTdayTunes.

The second track in Final Fantasy theme week is the tune that plays in the Temple of Fiends. You get to hear this song early in the game, and then it pops up again later. It has a similar structure to “Matoya’s Cavern” from earlier this week, with a soaring melody accompanied by an upbeat rhythm.

Even though there are a couple more great songs in the game, this is going to be the last we’ll see of Final Fantasy in this list. Fortunately, there are a lot of entries in the series I haven’t mentioned yet…

Track: “Chaos Temple” (YouTube Link)
