Clearly not the best theme of all time from a computer game.
When it competes with Doom E1M1, Monkey Island (and practically anything from Lucas Arts), the entire score of Total Annihilation, and the original midi files from Transport Tycoon. (To name just a few.)
However it is pretty good.

Well, it's not strictly a 'theme', it's 'in-game' musak ;)
I don't like any of the Monkey Island music though, it drives me (coco)nuts.

Ah yes I can feel it again - steering wheel, blonde by my side, palm trees rushing by....
a bunch of spotty teenagers gathered behind the car...

I love the BGM for Outrun.
I've dropped them into several DJ sets.
I remember when C&VG gave out a cover tape with them on it (with 720° on the other side).

For those of you who dig Final Fantasy
There's also the Black Mages. The composer is in it, they play hard rock versions from the games...
