Weird one - the labyrinth music from BotW. I used to listen to extended versions of that for hours at work, just to make things feel tense and intriguing.

One of the two songs that can play during Proving Grounds oval track or on the results screen. It's random.

The CD-rom for Mechwarrior 2 could play in a standard CD player. Track one was the data for the game, but the remaining 22-odd tracks were the in-game music. We used to listen to the Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack while playing everything else. I still love that music.

That would be the opening prelude of Final Fantasy VII. You immediately understand what the themes of the game are when listening to it, it's highly effective in portraying things/feelings like loss, despair, melancholy, overcome, hope. And all of that with a rather limited set of instruments (compared to other compositions). It's pure and sincere without being kitschy. Nothing is hidden or ambiguous or pretentious. It wears its big broken heart on its sleeve in the best possible way. It's a masterpiece.
