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.

That game was awesome!

Here's a full list of the classical music used btw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parodius_music

Tetris on the old NES had a dance from Nutcracker as a selection.

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.
