Sometimes showing your dedication to a video game means more than just getting all the trophies or achievements. Yahoo put together a collection of eight impressive videos depicting talented musicians performing innovative renditions of popular video game themes and music.

The performances include an emotional piano-and-violin medley of select tracks from Bethesda's "Elder Scrolls" series, the "Ocarina of Time" theme song played on an actual ocarina, the "Tetris" theme on a laser harp (the instrument alone is a little bit mind-blowing), "Super Mario Bros." played on Tesla coils, and a few others. Visit Yahoo to view all of them, and let us know which one impressed you the most! Or suggest one of your own.

I'm a giant Zelda nerd.

I also think the Morrowind theme is very beautiful.

I've just found this. While it's not technically from a video game, it's from a show which also has video games as part of the franchise.

It's not a video game theme, but it's a performance actually performed with a video game. ^_^

I am not afraid to concede my geekiness. I love TES, so naturally the Skyrim theme :)

Michael Jackson's performance on Demand Special.I know some people would say, REALLY! His song Dirty Diana and Man in the Mirror and so many more have really touched me. He has a way of singing ballots that can make you want to cry. I have to say he was one of the greatest performers of his time , like Elvis. One of a kind. I miss the thought of all the songs we will miss that he could of wrote and performed in the future. I miss him. He was a very interesting man.
