Answer 2

Techno

Techno is a form of electronic dance music that became prominent in Detroit, Michigan during the mid-1980s with influences from Chicago House, electro, New Wave, Funk and futuristic fiction themes that were prevalent and relative to modern culture during the end of the Cold War in industrial America at that time. Following the initial success of Detroit Techno as a musical culture — at the very least on a regional level — an expanded and related subset of genres in the 1990s emerged globally.
The term "techno", which derives from "technology"

Answer 3

Classical, mostly. A couple of the Mario themes could be considered more of a soft rock, but the Zelda and Tetris themes are classical.

Answer 4

Soundtracks, that's how I find video game music. It can be considered electronic and classical music, but no body ever puts video game music with those classifications. Once I found a bunch of music for video games on record, but it was in the breakbeats section. They were these DJ sampling records.

Answer 5

i think of the video games that survive as having the main suitable music ever have been the CastleVania video games on the NES. superb music achieved with very limited technologies made for some particularly sensible arrangements. talk all you pick approximately each and all the symphonic scores that are ordinary now (and are super, somewhat Harry Gregson-Williams steel kit scores), yet they do no longer likely face a similar hindrances because of the fact the composers for those till now video games... on account that issues are achieved with actual recordings now, it particularly is no longer as unique IMO. it is likewise nicely worth affirming the surprising way the music in Banjo-Kazooie replaced into carried out. it may replace dynamically as you ran by a point... instrumentation could replace, new sections could are available in, and so on and it replaced into never abrupt. It replaced into dynamically "scored" and replaced into marvelous. you do no longer see that anymore, that's a poor shame.
