Carrier Command (Rainbird 1988) had a great tape soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUYKauCcutw

I remember the (terrible) home computer conversions of Outrun came with a tape of the arcade music, which was some consolation.

Carrier Command was one of my favourite games, but I don't recall ever having a tape soundtrack. Looks like I was missing out.

I tried playing it again recently though and, although there was the nostalgia there, but it just wasn't the same. As someone else mentioned, some games just haven't aged well unfortunately.
