Obscure/Semi-Obscure Games with Insane Soundtracks

Check notes for samples. Some of these aren't insane but they're good! Some of these might only have a few tracks that stand out. Since many of these did not get official soundtrack releases, I have gone with the title of the tracks in the game files if necessary.

Default sorting puts new additions at the top.

Adding more as I go.

<100 plays on Backloggd only (at time of addition).
