As a corollary: if you had installed the full game to your hard drive, and put a music CD in your CD-ROM drive, you might be surprised to find the soundtrack of your game was something other than what you expected it to be!

I had installed Half-life my first year of college, gone to one of those orientation concerts, gotten a free demo cd from the band, put it in my computer, and forgotten about it. Until the next time I played Half-life.

I accidentally did that with the original Team Fortress on Quake, and the Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries CD. I always felt like the track from that CD that went with the `rock` map was a good match, but I couldn't really say why.

I haven't thought about that in years.
