Your topic is wrong. Video game music should be differentied from 'video game music made out of real instruments'
And yes, I am saying that video game music needs to sound like it's coming out of a game machine program for it to be video game music. If it's just something recorded with real instruments and put over a game, it's a soundtrack, and it usually sucks ass.

HAHAHA LOL
so flamish and spamish LOLOLOLOLOLOL
What he just said reminded me of those monophonic music coming out of these old arcade machines fitted with sound chips
lol there was something in between that arcade time and the now more modern and 'real' era. You know, after the Atari time and before 3D came around and ruined all the magic... it was the golden age of video games, and so was it for it's music. Now everyone thinks that because it sounds real and with real instruments it's automaticly going to sound better. It makes everything too easy for composers, and everything just sounds like an ambient boring mess. The 'realness' of the instruments makes them be lazy, and lazyness is the curse of video games.
Edit; Don't get me wrong, I love some good 'real' sounding music too. Warcraft II is an example of it being done epicly right.
(...) although some orchestral Zelda or Final Fantasy music is pretty good. What I don't like to see in games is the same sort of music you'd find in a movie
Ahhh Greensleeves is an old time favorite of mine as well.
The entire Monkey Island soundtrack is brilliant.
Cannon Fodder just makes me miss my Amiga so badly. A shame wrong market placement killed that family of computers. They were way ahead of all other computers back in the 90's

To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.
Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.
chorus
I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have.
chorus
If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.
chorus
My men were clothed all in green,
And they did ever wait on thee;
All this was gallant to be seen,
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
chorus
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
but still thou hadst it readily.
Thy music still to play and sing;
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
chorus
Well, I will pray to God on high,
that thou my constancy mayst see,
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
chorus
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and love me.
chorus
Of The Planets by Gustav Holst Mars and Jupiter are my favorites.
Aaron Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man is another favorite of mine.
I'm sure I will be posting more some time...
I'll start off with a little curio. W.A. Mozart: Symphony No. 1, written when little Wolfgang Amadeus was eight years old!
Jean Sibelius: Valse Triste
A few times as far as I know...
