[Upgrade]

I’ve been meaning to write up a post, but the Fallout games use a ton of library tracks from APM on the radios, which are derived from KPM, Kosinus, Bruton, Carlin, Sonoton etc. And they play in full without interruption on the radio next to other more traditionally licensed 1950s songs.

APM even wrote up an article for Fallout 3 using a Cavendish track for the trailer, a Boosey&Hawkes issue.

The Saboteur, I believe also uses Warner/Chappell cues for its jazz radios.

[Speedy]

Yeah, I'm not terribly familiar with the Fallout series but I'm aware they used stock music as well. I need to add those.

Also forgot about "Paranoia", which is heard in ATV Offroad Fury. Added above.

[Moleoman]

The "Tell Me More Kids" French educational PC game series used two tracks from the defunct Power House Music Library (both from PH-CD 20) - "Who's There?" by James Rast and "Loony Tune" by Phil McArthur: h++ps://www,nslibrary,nichion,co,jp/albums/13755-PH020

Both cues were also used in the game series' Russian trailer reel (along with the third unidentified cue also used in the games at 1:24-1:52 below) . Unfortunately, I haven't found out yet distributed the Power House library in France (where Auralog was based) at the time the games were originally released (early 2000s):

EDIT (11 VI): Apparently the remnants on Claire Music's website on Web Archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20001020144137/http://www.clairemusic.com/ suggest that they were Power House music library distributors in France.

[FunnyStarRunner]

GTA: Vice City Stories uses tracks from De Wolfe for ambient muzak in stores and the Vice Point Mall. Ironically, they were all released in the early 90s despite the 1984 setting.

• Heading Home - Paul Westwood
• Shopping Mall - David Molyneux
• Showroom - David Molyneux
• Windsong - Paul Field

GTA: Vice City Stories uses tracks from De Wolfe for ambient muzak in stores and the Vice Point Mall

Cool! Never knew that.

From my experiences, library music usage in video games is very widespread.
Though I honestly haven't played much video games for ages, I think I have some notes lying around for a few cues I picked up along the way.
Off-hand, the old third person strategy game "Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive" uses Ralv Gielen's "Military Chase" (UBM) and a few western cues from BMG/Zomba/Universal's "Score Music Series".
I seem to recall Far Cry 4 used a bunch of Sonoton "Authentic Series" cues for their Asian radio channel(s).

[apmnut]

Do Flash games count? Since I know "Midnight in Manhattan," a KPM cue from Johnny Pearson plays in the Flash Newgrounds game Escaping the Prison, when Henry is walking around the prison after glugging down the "NRG" drink.

[radioman]

'Fly Away' by Roger Webb is used in Theme Hospital.   hoops://www.universalproductionmusic.com/en-row/discover/albums/1452/Archive-Kitsch-Pop

[GraniteCity]

The track "Bikini Dance" by Lionel Wendling from KOS 144 Pacific Cocktail is used on SpongeBob videogames.

[ArgleBargle]

Does anyone have a listing of the music used in PS1 demo disc from magazines?

[Speedy]

Added tracks that played in Chickens Attack! (a Mac game) and Mojo! (PS2, Xbox).

[Walk the Skies 202]

I can pitch this one in.

Other uploads of this trailer detect the music is "Samantha Loves Duane Eddy" by Calvin Odom, Dain Luscombe, Rashad Stone from Killer Tracks.

Here's one I remember from a number of years ago
