10 Great Songs You Associate With Great Games

1. "I Ran (So Far Away)" By A Flock Of Seagulls

There's a strong argument to be made for "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls to be regarded as the quintessential 80's song. On top of that, it's part of one of the greatest video games ever made, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

The association makes perfect sense. GTA: Vice City is set in the 1980s, so you need a song that exemplifies that period perfectly.

That said, there are a lot of great tracks from that era on the radio stations in Vice City. Still, "I Ran (So Far Away)" stands out as one of the best.
