Music has always been an essential part of the gaming experience, so video game developers always place great importance on the soundtrack selection for each game.
From Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in Jet Set Willy on the ZX Spectrum, to the earworm Korobeiniki used in the iconic Gameboy version of Tetris, gamers will be familiar with many of the tunes soundtracking their favourite title.

Here's what they found - including Grand Theft Auto V, which was created by Edinburgh-based games company Rock Star North.
