This track still gives me the creeps. That fucking water snake looked so real when I was a kid.

 

[Valestein]

So yeah, there are two Balrog and Guile themes in this game.

I've never played the game, or anything from Turbografx for that matter, but damn this sounds awesome.

Any of you like the Stronghold soundtracks? One of my favorites.

 

[Jaesun]

So today I learned something rather awkward....

On of the most influential video game soundtracks of all time (for me personally as a musician) was Ultima VIII Pagan's soundtrack. Of note, the Docks theme specifically (it's basically the first "theme" song you hear when playing the game):


(This is as played in game with my Roland JV1080)

What I never knew was, it was um GREATLY inspired by a movie a few years befor Pagans release....





Still the Docks theme IS a nice track, even if heavily inspired by this (and with the limitations of MIDI at the time, 8 instruments).

Sceptic you might find this vastly amusing as I did.

This is on in 30 minutes if anyone's interested, stays available in the "listen again" section for ~1 week I think.

Hitman fans will like this track

off topic: is this game any good?

From what I saw, visuals and atmosphere are sort of similar to Archimedean Dynasty.

No, not really. It's a very mediocre action game. It does run on a nice engine (SVGA voxel landscapes ) and the soundtrack is really good.
