This gets into the mechanics of how video game soundtracks work, psychologically:

 

Digital music sequencer

The idea:
No "musical" inputs. The computer has a timeline with "steps", and sounds/tones are assigned to the steps to make sound sequences (and then looped). These can be layered for complexity.

Nowadays, machines have enough memory to hold rich samples, but that wasn't the case in the classic days of video game music.
