I feel the exact opposite is true: synthesized music --- especially music that sounds synthesized, as opposed to the stuff that sounds like relatively modern techno/house music --- really does not fit games, especially when those games are about knights and kings and such. I don't seem to remember Bach or Mozart playing on synthesizers. (Historical caveat: I realize that most video games with a medieval setting are set around periods many centuries prior to either of those artists, but, I think, the parallel is made.)
