THE BEST OF TV QUIZ & GAME SHOW THEMES
Album Features
Title:
The Best Of TV Quiz & Game Show Themes
Record Label:
Varese Sarabande
Release Year:
2000
Cat No:
Country:
US
Genre:
Soundtrack / TV Themes / Compilation
Style:
TV theme instrumental, game show themes, compilation
Various Artists is a collection of composers, performers and studio musicians assembled to celebrate a specific musical theme or era rather than the work of a single act. Compilations credited to Various Artists typically bring together original recordings and TV-era themes licensed from multiple sources. This release gathers memorable cues and theme music associated with classic quiz and game shows that became part of the cultural soundtrack of television. The artists represented here include well-known TV and production composers whose work ranges from orchestral cues to catchy instrumental pop.
This compilation, The Best Of TV Quiz & Game Show Themes, presents the original versions as heard on television and collects many of the iconic themes in one place. It serves both as a nostalgic document for listeners who remember these shows and as a reference of mid-century and later TV theme composition styles. Arrangements are generally short, punchy and focused on strong melodic hooks designed to identify shows quickly. The set captures the variety of moods required by game shows: upbeat fanfares, quirky idents, lounge-inflected instrumentals and energetic pop-leaning themes.
The original versions as heard on TV. Compilation (P) © 2000 Varese Sarabande Records, Inc. Manufactured and distributed by Varese Sarabande. Licensed from various sources. Credits and courtesy notes appear on the release packaging.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
