    There was a game called Parodius for SNES, about twenty years ago. It featured some classical music pieces, such as:

    Brahms - Hungarian Dance No. 5
    Khachaturian - Sabre Dance
    Tchaikovsky - Flower Waltz

    And probably some others too, but I don't remember.

    An ancient MSDOS game called Superfly used the Prelude in C Minor from Bach's WTC on the title screen.



    That was my first exposure to the Prelude.

    Satie's first gymnopedie is the menu music for Symphony. Not a great version of it though.
