Nobuo Uematsu said if there was one piece of music he wanted to be remembered for it was the main theme from Final Fantasy. He refined it from game to game until the version in FFVIII where he considers it to have reached its peak, and I can't disagree.
David Wise, I think he named this track as the one he was most proud of. It was a real challenge to do on the SNES, maybe not his most popular, but very good nonetheless.
Yoko Shimomura, could easily be in second place, she has composed for so many games, Street Fighter, Mario RPGs, Final Fantasy, the list goes on. Oh and Kingdom Hearts.
Motoi Sakuraba, insanely prolific so some of his music ends up sounding very similar, but I can't complain about it if it's so good
Michiru Yamane, I couldn't choose so here is the first area of one of the best games ever.
Koji Kondo, probably the most widely recognised videogame composer (by his music anyway) and for good reason
Hiroshi Kawaguchi, a Sega arcade legend, also part of the S.S.T band at Sega
Jun Senoue, mostly known for Sonic music, which he does very well, but here is Victory Goal and a slower acoustic piece too
Yuzo Koshiro did Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of Rage and even a bit of Castlevania
Tim Follin's unreleased Mega Drive/Genesis soundtrack, like always, he pushes another old console further than most other composers. His work on Plok was a direct inspiration for David Wise to up his game since he couldn't believe what Follin could do with the SNES.
