(Hidden Gem) Famicom Dungeon Kid OST (ダンジョンキッド BGM) by legendary Masaharu Iwata FF12/Tactics Ogre
6I tried to label all the songs as best as I could by literally playing the game - this is a cute Wizardry style game that has something extremely unique, a custom map editor! In a Famicom game! For a multi-level dungeon crawler game! It is very innovative in itself, although some of what you can customize is limited you can even set the introduction/ending text, character sprites, SF or Fantasy theme, and of course the entire layout of the dungeon.
The game you start out extremely weak (as is the case with many dungeon crawlers) and have to crawl back to town to heal after almost every battle. The encounter rate is very high but the battles are cute and graphics animated well with your characters moving to attack on the left pane from a top down view.
The music is great and very groovy for a dungeon game. He apparently re-used the battle melody from a Metroid style game called Relics for Disk System.
I tried my best to figure out proper names but some of these are best guesses since I didn't encounter them while playing the game:
