Cheers to northernlite for providing the idea for this thread! Of course we have another thread specifically about how Ocarina Of Time's soundtrack sounds a bit BoC-like in some places, but I figure there's a whole world of bizarre game soundtracks out there and surely there's more of them that tap into the "Turquoise Hexagon Zone". Here's a couple of my personal favorites to get the ball rolling:

If The Campfire Headphase was a butterfly, would Acid Memories be the caterpillar?

To be honest, it reminds me more of Bola, but nonetheless, it's a thing if beauty.

The naming screen in Earthbound has some weird birdish noises that remind me of those noises on the Twoism title track. Twoism in general sounds like Earthbound to me

Reminds me of a Geogaddi/Pre-Twoism demo:

Reminds me of a Tomorrow's Harvest demo:

The BGM that plays at about 0:40. I think it's just baked into the cutscene audio since I don't think I've ever heard it in any unoffical OSTs:

Reminds me of Old Tunes:

There are some softer, gentle tracks of Skyrim (a game in which I'm still pretty new I would say, as I only played it for the first time in 2020) that have a In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country and The Campfire Headphase vibe for me.

I couldn't tell which ones because I never cared to listened to the OST entirely and identify tracks at the moment, so I don't know their names. :D

I mean - how about games where the soundtrack IS BoC?

Just checked Skyrim's entire OST for the first time, and I've found the track that gave me BOC (and especially IaBPoitC and TCH vibes:
