Obviously video game music wasn't so hot back in the day, mostly because stereo sound wasn't added to consoles 'till the 16-bit era. But even then, GOOD video game tracks started with Yuzo Koshiro. I used to think the title screen track of "Revenge of Shinobi" was the greatest. He also made all of the "streets of rage" music and a bunch of other stuff too.
The only reason I mention all of this garbage is because there is one song that I always loved (not from sega), and it's roots were pre-stereo. How about the Zelda theme?!?!? The best thing about it other than the really catchy tune is that it's evolved into a more beautiful melody with the release of Nintendo's newer systems. Sorry sega, but I think Zelda takes the cake...for withstanding the test of time. Maybe it's not classic sega, but I think it deserves a spot in this post.
