It's so weird how you miss the music once you're done with the game. I guess you could find it and download it, but without the context of the game, the effect is of course diminished. It's kind of sad!

Actually, for me, it's the opposite, but I was always into downloading midi and mod remixes of game soundtracks (especially Square's RPGs) back in the day, so I've always had a really positive feeling when it comes to listening to game music outside of the game.
Though I really enjoyed playing Mega Man 2 and 3, I almost definitely have a more fondness for the soundtracks than I do playing the games! In the extreme, I've listened to NSFs of games I have no interest in playing which were great.

rare's in-house composers (beanland, kirkhope) were really something. here is one of the former's best. i barely even played the game that this is from and yet i find it stunning.

'Can video game music be "good"/"listenable" outside of the game?'Even though it is the identical sounds you're hearing, I feel like it's no longer video game music if the videogame isn't actually generating it.
Take this music out, and it's a bad ringtone, but in the game, it's happy pirate time!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPgRwaXSL9M

hilarious youtube comments:
Illumina7ion2 weeks ago 37 I love you guys, im so sad... why does life change so much? I want to be a little boy again sitting in the comfort of my home with the blinds down the sun glaring in... oh the beauty... it was a dream the summer days back when we were young.. it was a dream playing this game with no care in the world thinking everything is forever it was a dream... and I am 21 and everything feels like a chore, the summer weather doesn't have the same effect .... LIFE is something, thank you donkey kong.
