How did you discover video game music existed outside of video games?

I always liked game music, I used to record stuff from my Kirby games and Donkey Kong Country and listen to it all the time.
I didn't get on the internet until around '97 or so. At that time, I was into the Myst series. We found that there were soundtracks for the two games that were out at the time, so we picked them up.
I also had just played Chrono Trigger, and I searched around fansites and found MIDIs of the music. Those served me pretty well at the time.
I then looked for my old Kirby stuff, found some MIDIs of that, as well as a few MP3s.

I didn't really start getting into it until a couple years ago, when I found GamingFM. I listened to it all the time until it went down last spring. That's when I started hunting around for places where I could download soundtracks, gamerips, and such.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
