So, yeah, what video game tune do you think is the most depressing? You know, the kind of music that almost makes ya tear up or at least something similar?

I'd have to say it's really tough to choose between Into The Dusk (Ace Combat 5), the ending theme from FFX (not Suteki Da Ne, the one before that), Aeris' theme, and Sage Raruto from Wind Waker.

What about you?

"Enclosure" from Metal Gear Solid.

(The track that plays after the second Sniper Wolf battle)

Planescape: Torment's soundtrack is nicely maudlin, melencholy, and fatalistic.

Metal Gear Solid, The Best is Yet to Come.

Chrono Trigger, Marle's Theme I believe it is. The sad music.

In Homeworld, as the planet Kharrak is destroyed from an orbital bombardment, a choral version of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings plays. It's a depressing scene.

Seconded, one of the most traumatizing moments for me in a computer or video game.

It could because what kind of games I have, but the capture of Azzameen home base in X-Wing Alliance (I can't remember was Music made for the movies, but fitted scene perfectly

various squaresoft themes come to mind, notably ones from chrono trigger and xenogears.

The loader theme to Green Beret.

IIRC, I think part of it might have been the music to the final duel between Vader and Luke from RotJ. I say part of it, because XWA's music is just a bunch of William's compositions spliced together. Whoever the music editor for that game was did a damned good job of it. It's not easy to seemlessly blend music together like that.

The music was also used in the final duel between Katarn and Dessan in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, but somehow it didn't come off as well as I hoped it would.

That alternate version of Lavos's Theme from Chrono Trigger. The one when Crono, Marle and Lucca discover the record of the Day of Lavos in 2300AD.
