This is becoming quite rare though, I'm not sure what the composers are doing differently now as opposed to when I grew up or maybe its just me having changed?

Game music is more ambient now and has fewer strong melodies. This might create 'atmosphere' but the tracks aren't catchy enough to remember or inspire emotion. It is also more like pop music because that's what they think we want.

When music was '8-bit', you couldn't do ambience and you had to have a tune in order to stand out.
