History OminousPipeOrgan / VideoGames

* The Creator/DataEast game ''The Great Ragtime Show'' (AKA ''Boogie Wings'') has a visible pipe organ on which a villain is playing Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

* The intro of the theme of the Mausoleum in the Forsaken Province from Gauntlet Dark Legacy features an ominous pipe organ. The previous level, the Haunted Cemetary, also features a one-minute-long organ solo in its second part.

** ''Shallow Twilight'', the music on the map that plays instead of the hopeful-sounding ''The General Situation'' once a certain plot point has been revealed, has a chorus that is nothing but a downright ''sinister'' theme of organ music and drums.
** The music for the final battle in the first game, ''Destructive Logic'', is nothing but ominous pipe organ music. Considering what the BigBad [[BrainUploading has been doing to P.O.W.s]] ([[spoiler:Like [[KickTheDog Lloyd's fiance]] and ''himself'']]), it's appropriate.

** The generic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVWWyENTFdc dungeon theme]] in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' is also played on a pipe organ, with a few grace piano notes thrown in.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Returnal}}'', one of the bosses, Hyperion, is encountered by Selene while she is playing an [[AccidentalPun organic]]-looking pipe organ, which she continues to play for her entire boss fight. [[spoiler:As the fight progresses, it becomes increasingly obvious that she is playing a twisted and slow version of "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Music/BlueOysterCult.]]

** Something to note, he isn't just playing any song. He's playing Wagner's bridal march, if you listen closely, except in a minor key. This is fitting, since this particular level turns Castle Crashers into Wedding Crashers.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* [=ClockUp=]'s ''Euphoria'': If you get the Brute Ending, the most evil and sadistic ending in the game, a very ominous and organ-laden theme plays over the credits.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'':

** In ''VideoGame/SuikodenI'', he plays the popular Wedding March as a funeral dirge (appropriate considering what happens to his ''brides'')

* Possibly [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' - The first time you fight [[spoiler:Van, he's ''playing a pipe organ'' as you walk into his room and he gives his little speech.]] Considering how music in general is one of the major themes of TOTA (Prophecies are called 'Scores' or 'the Score', the resident CrystalDragonJesus is the personification of sound, various church titles and ranks include Melodist, Maestro, Conductor, Cantor, etc.) and in fact is the key to using much of Auldrant's AppliedPhlebotinum, this is perhaps more justified than many of the other examples on this page.

** [[VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue the sequel]] also features ominous pipe organ music in [[CorruptChurch Pentagulia]].

** Also [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesRingOfFates Galdes]] final theme.

** ''Forze Del Male'', which plays during the battle with Rikunort in Hollow Bastion, and becomes a recurring {{Leitmotif}} in later games for [[JokerImmunity Ansem the Seeker of Darkness]].

* The PerfectRunFinalBoss battle in ''VideoGame/RayCrisis''. Aptly titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HBY-UYmXTs "Root of all evil"]]

* In ''VideoGame/LiveALive'', the chapter boss {{Leitmotif}} and the battle theme both contain organ music [[spoiler:as your [[ThemeSongReveal as your first clue]] that all the bosses are the same demonic entity, and the final level music and ''both'' FinalBoss themes are all about the OminousPipeOrgan.]]
