18 tracks inspired by some of the greatest games ever made, performed by award-winning celebrity game music composers

I saw this press release and thought I'd pass it along. Check out the tracklist below and you may see several themes you'll recognize (including Super Metroid and Chronotrigger).

For Game Music Central’s first game soundtrack release, 20 award-winning video game composers recorded all new performances of music inspired by some of the most popular video games of all time, including: God of War, Super Mario Bros, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy, Super Metroid, Earthworm Jim, Medal of Honor, Kingdom Hearts, and many more, all available on one Collector's Edition CD.

Here are some of the tracks (see whole list here):
