Kinda disappointed that no one has mentioned this yet. This track gets me all hyped to slay some mudder fudging baddies!
Oldie but goodie:
Yeah, Konami was on point with their enhanced FC soundtracks. Lagrange Point is also really impressive. Check out Electric City:

Ah, yes, you are right. I was thinking of how many shades the GB could do or something.
I love the Solstice theme. Starts out as a happy little tune then suddenly blows your mind.
Sunsoft wizardry. Their sampled baselines sounded great. Journey to Silius Stage 3 being my preferred cut.
Journey to Silius was BANGIN'. Actually can't choose a favorite from that one.
The GameBoy version of this game has already been mentioned but it must be known that this track is a total banger as well.
Firefly on the 48k Spectrum. An amazing sound on the title screen with keyboard animation. Considering how pathetic the spectrum sound chip was, this was totally unexpected.
Second part even better.

How does he even get this sound out of the C64. It's magic.
I looked up what he is doing now because I was curious and he fucking made Contradiction: spot the liar???? HOLY SHIT!
I loved this song that starts at 0:08, recorded it on tape with a microphone and listened to it over and over and over, driving my mother nuts. Even this day when I hear it's "FUCK YEAH!"
Wowww the memories, I haven't heard this track in at least 20 years. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of this, getting those nostalgic vibes right now.

Now that's a certified bop. Always loved the SMS/GG 'beat'.
How would you class it? it has an 8-bit cpu but 16-bit graphics...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmmm. It was marketed as a 16 bit system, at least in the west, so that's what I'd call it by instinct, but I don't actually know enough about the hardware to really know what I'm talking about I suppose.
Ah well. The more jams the better, at any rate.
I was going to post this.
God damn that music and level were hype as fuck when I first played that.
Came to post this. Too good.
Also holy shit I've never heard that Silver Surfer theme, that's nuts.
Daemon Hatfield from IGN used to put together some 8-bit radio podcasts with lots of great chiptune music. Here's a link to the first one:

I think he ended up doing 4 or 5 in total, and they are all worth listening to!
