So to all the map makers out there who want your some good soundtrack for you map and aren't afraid of copyright infringement, I have created this thread.(If you can get in contact with some of the people who made these and they let you use it that would be great, but sadly unrealistic)
What to look for in this thread:
-Various musical themes from obscure games that could very easily come off as fresh to someone not versed in the old games department.
-If you have soundtracks you would like to share you can just post them and I will encompass them and give you the credit for posting.
-Inspiration for a map
-Semi-old games that you can look up and buy for cheap prices.
Note: I don't know a thing about how to implement it in game but I have seen it done( In Runnling Run there was some funky music playing, but it might have been just some guy using the in game chat system to play music to annoy people to death )
The following videos are grouped by themes, such as ambient contiguous music and what kind of general setting you could use it in.
For example:
The majority is also contained in a playlist that i have made(primarily for myself as i get bored by the same terran rock music over and over.)

Ambient Music
-
-A peaceful theme for say, introducing the player to the game in a non threatening way, or if your doing a kind of Agria type of world this would be very fitting.

Ambient Music and Intro Music Hybrids

Intro Music- something you would use for the opening cinematic of your map.

- *Also appears in the Nostalgia Sauce section
- *Warning, an Intro this long will piss of players who have seen it more than once.

Ambiguous-
Here I require help actually finding a purpose for the soundtrack. It sounds good but has no distinct theme that comes to mind.

Nostalgia Sauce-
Good old soundtracks that can be used purely for their nostalgic properties.
