Grand Theft Auto IV was released by Rockstar Games in 2008 and introduced players to Liberty City through long loading screens backed by Michael Hunter's Soviet Connection theme. Clips of that load music spread on gaming soundboards alongside other Rockstar favourites like the GTA V notification sound and lines from CJ from GTA SA. Its lasting appeal comes from pure nostalgia, as a generation of players spent minutes hearing this loop before every session, making it instantly recognisable even outside the game.
