Theme Song for The Secret of Monkey Island (Using the Roland MT-32 which was an external and semi professional music synth device for those that aren't familiar)

And to show what the difference is and why I find it amazing here is a comparison with just a few seconds of the song on each of a bunch of different sound devices. This was possible with live synth at home in 1990 or actually earlier but this is one of the best examples.

Like many people I'm not sure I actually have a real favorite but this is what came to mind first along with several songs from the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. Chrono Trigger is also one of the shining examples of taking a limited older sound device and wringing every last drop of capability out of it. So clearly an obsession of mine with music is created under technical limitations.
Not bad. I will say that it lacks a fair bit of variation for my palette.
5/10. If you had instead posted a crono trigger track though, you'd have received a 10/10. The best from that era.
Here's my favourite.
Excellent track from CT. How about one extra since you like Mitsuda's work with Chrono Trigger.
This is from an orchestrated reimagining of some of the music of Xenogears. Not some fan project either, made by Mitsuda himself.

I would put something from the Kirite album form him but it is basically not available anywhere for streaming at least not in English searchable websites. I did find a torrent for it along with hundreds of other songs of his but didn't want to go that far in sharing on this sort of thread.
I'll add that I probably should have just posted a Chrono Trigger track in the first place since while I'm unsure of my favorite music the game itself has been my personal number one game for a couple decades now.
Video is unplayable :(. But you just reminded me that Zenogears is in my backlog and i should probably get to playing it.
