Video game music until orchestra and whatnot took over was just a whole different type of music. Not everything is really spotify ready, something to actually listen on your headset all day, but it often had its special charme.
Same as eg Daft Punk doing the Tron Legacy soundtrack. Their electronic music is not everyone's cup of tea, it isn't mine always either, but what they created was perfect for that movie and pretty unique and walking the line between epic cinema music and borderline annoying videogame music.
