Many Tetris games also borrow Nutcracker, and >other classical Russian music. The following is a list of classical music pieces found in classic fideo games, that I had started a some time ago. This is becoming OT here, so if anyone on this list wants to contribute, plese write me directly. --- cut here Classical in the classics v 1.0 Please send suggestions and corrections to p.cavina@xxxxxxxxxxxxx City Connection (Arcade): "Piano Concert No.1" (Tchaikovsky) Epic (Atari ST): "Mars (from The Planets)" (Holst) Gyruss (Arcade, various home ports): "Toccata & Feuge in D minor" (J.S. Bach) Crystal Castles (Arcade): "The Nutcracker Suite" (Tchaikovsky) Battlezone (Arcade): "1812 Ouverture" (Tchaikovsky) Mountain King (2600, 5200, Coleco): "Hall of the Mountain Kings" (E. Grieg) Sub Hunt (Intellivision): "Ride Of The Valkarie" (R. Wagner) Dracula (Intellivision): "Toccata & Feuge in D minor" (J.S. Bach) Empire (Atari ST): "Hall of the Mountain Kings" (E. Grieg) Frenzy (Coleco): "The Rite of Spring" (I. Stravinsky) Elite (Atari 8 bit): "Blue Danube" (R. Strauss) Blue Max (C64) "Britannia Rules the Waves" (?) (sorry my friends, I don't really know who's the composer :-) Satan's Hollow (arcade): "Ride Of The Valkarie" (R. Wagner) Uncertain and unverified (if you've MAME and know classical music please check the following arcade games...): Demon Attack (Intellivision): "Pomp and circumstance" (?), "Night on Bald Mountain" (?) (to be verified) Jump Bug (arcade): "1812 Ouverture" (Tchaikovsky), played when you exit the pyramid - I need to verify this, JB is a great little known game. Arabian (arcade): "The Spring (from the Four Seasons)" (A. Vivaldi) (not really sure) Naughty Boy (arcade): ??? (ok, it's a well known piece...) Kangaroo (arcade): ?!? the background music might be a classical piece Super Cobra (arcade): ?? the little piece played at the beginning of the game Buzz Bomber (Intellivision): "Flight of the Bumble Bee" (???) I forgot the author... shame! Smurf (Coleco): "Appalachian Spring" (Aaron Copeland) title to be verified Beauty and the Beast (Intellivision): ??? I remember that some classical excerpts are played in Defender, Robotron and other Williams games when you get an high score, I need the titles. I think that many other games for 8-bit home computers (C64, Atari, maybe even the Apple 2..) play some classical music...
