TOCCATA & FUGUE IN V GAMING

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is one of the most famous organ pieces in the world. Commonly attributed to J.S. Bach, this piece has meant a variety of things to a variety of people, and not only people but also "gamers". For over forty years now, composers and arrangers have been adapting this beloved piece, or at least sections of it, for the purpose of sound-tracking the pixelated grandeur that is Gaming.
From King's Quest II to Fortnite, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor has survived generations of games. Now, listen to that in real time, as we explore a chronological trip through various video game interpretations of the piece, from the irreverent and dance-able to the solemn and faithful.
This is likely far from a complete list, and mostly consisted of me specifically searching for video game tracks that had "Toccata" in their name, although I am sure there are many instances that I've missed. Feel free to let me know if there are any especially interesting ones you know of!
Why do this? I don't know. I found the prevalence of this piece in game soundtracks to be kind of curious, as well as the way the arrangements varied from faithful recreations to dramatic re-imaginings. I've always really liked this piece. My father used to play it on the piano, and there was something very entrancing about the dynamics of it all. So maybe in essence this project was just a chance to try to grasp a bit of what makes the piece compelling in the way that the commercial art of video games has reinterpreted and reconfigured a piece that has over the course of centuries become Bach's most famous.
