Video Games, much like large budget cinematic animated motion pictures, have amazing scores. Post your favorites! I am a big Final Fantasy fan, so here is my first contribution to this thread:

Paradox games always come with great scores with a mix between classical music that fits the era and composed songs for the game. There have been a number of music packs, yes just music nothing else, for all the cultures one can play. Here are a few examples from the Hymns of the Old Gods pack (Norse). All the custom music was composed by Andreas Waldetoft

Also some metal genre since it fits the Vikings well

Eww to all you people who are talking about large budget symphonic scores when talking about video game music (Even if I'm being a bit hypocritical here).

I'll just post some REAL VG music we had back in my days, and maybe you whippersnappers might be able to appreciate it, but I doubt it:

TTT had a good soundtrack, though I prefer Tekken 4's.

It's a shame they botched it for the PS3/PS4/PC remaster.

They remixed the tracks so that they don't convey the same feeling anymore.

It should be automatic. Ad-blocker or some other browser addon/settings could be blocking it on your end. For me no-script does this unless I add exclusions for the source (YT)m Google sites and the page in question (CEMB) Your link is embed on my browser (FF) given the setting I mentioned.

The game source in my links is not really a large budge title. It is very basic compared to most games. Heck Civ 5 looks like Crisis compared to CK2. The music provides an atmosphere the graphics can not. Music scores are a major part of the developer's practice given the genre is strategy simulation on a world scale. Not to be confused with an RTS which is limited to a "zone map"

Nostalgia is nice in its own right, but it should not cancel out what could otherwise be an enjoyable experience. Music is atmosphere for games which are works of art, if done right, that can invoke emotions and memories. Besides that, the natural translation from 3-bit sound is orchestral music for a lot of these pieces. The same is true for scores in Disney and American animation movies. Because that is what real music is. Art and an expression of humanity.
