  Computer and video game music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the time video games began to blossom as a form of entertainment in the 1970s, music was stored on physical medium in analog waveforms like compact cassettes and phonograph records.
Games for the N64, because of the cost of the solid state memory, typically had samples of lesser quality than the other two however, and music tended to be simpler in construct.
Appreciation for video game music, particularly music from the Third and Fourth generation of home video game console and sometimes newer generations, continues today in very strong representation in both fans and composers alike, even absent the presence of a Video Game.

 Silent Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The games portray Silent Hill as a small, secluded town, smothered in fog, surrounded by large hills and flanking a lake, but this could be any one of a hundred towns in the United States.
The manual to the first game describes Silent Hill as a small New England resort town, and the town's surroundings, particularly the fog, are similar to the region.
The game's story may be an adaptation of the tale of Orpheus' journey to the netherworld to retrieve his wife Eurydice, or perhaps the similar Japanese tale of Izanagi and Izanami.

 PC VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Takeda __________|
Not many games these days emphasize totally on gameplay in order to sell the product, as people are demanding flashier and more breathtaking graphics.
Though you don't have to be a military genius to play this game, it wouldn't hurt.
If you lose valuable generals and cavalry early in the game, it will be near impossible to get through some of the later battles.

 IGN: Seven Samurai 20XX Preview
Over 100 anime-inspired characters were designed for the game by futurist designer Mobius, and opening and closing music (which will also likely feed strains to the main score) is being done by composer Ryuichi Sakamoto.
In-game models are similarly impressive, doubly so when the game is filled with robot (yes, robot...

 The Video Game Critic's Saturn Reviews S-Z
This isn't the kind of game you can zip through, and having to replay all the early levels each time you play is an unforgivable oversight on the part of the designers.
The game is played in a 3D space, but the awkward viewpoint and unforgiving collision detection make it impossible to gauge your jumps.
Perhaps the best part of this game is that except between holes, load time is practically non-existent, allowing for games to move at a brisk pace.

 Video Game Cameos & References Database
In many of Enix's games, the "Phoenix" is the ultimate power, which is not only a cameo in itself because it appears in so many different games, but also a reference to Enix, themselves, since the last four letters of "Phoenix" are "Enix".
This game seems to bridge the gap between Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior and Super Mario Bros. DK Junior was never in the original DK, but in this extended version he is in subsequent levels as an enemy and general mischief maker.
The entire game of Harvest Moon 64 is considered to be two generations after the SNES Harvest Moon, meaning all references to grandparents or to "long ago" most likely refer to Harvest Moon for SNES.

 The Adrenaline Vault | PlayStation 2 Review | GunGrave   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Generally, you take two objects that are common, like "Bubblegum" and "Crisis" or perhaps "Cowboy" and "Bebop," and then ram them together to form a game that's cool despite making very little sense.
True to anime conventions, our hero's full name is Death: Beyond the Grave, though we'll borrow the merciful custom of shortening it to Grave for most purposes.
Grave stalks his way through the game's levels in a third person shooting gallery.

I'm also familiar with a version of one of the Tetris themes recorded by a group called the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra (warning: their home page [skapara.net] is in, not surprisingly, Japanese).
It seems worthwhile to note that people who produce music for videogames are themselves musicians, as well as the people who remix and remaster their music.
The music/soundscape IS definitly part of the game and the OSTs stand on their own legs as far as good music is concerned.
