Goochman Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Alley Cat was really well done - add to that: MULE Ball Blazer Ultima III/IV had some nice tunes as well Alternate Reality City/Dungeon had some really good tunes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheddy Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Yeah, Alley Cat, brilliant! Wonder how they did the cat meow fx... What about Warhawk and IK music though? Tail of Beta Lyrae intro has some nice music too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hmm there are some cool musix: I like the music in: SONIC REBOUND TRIX Just because they make you feel you want to play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play more..... Until you you need some sleep after 40 hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 The music in Alternate Reality The City/The Dungeon goes without saying. Not only did those games have cool "intros" with great music, but the games themselves had a wide variety of music while you were playing. Here are some others I was fond of (and I know there were many others!): - Boulder Dash - M.U.L.E. - Rescue on Fractalus - Realm of Impossibility - Tail of Beta Lyrae (the first game I purchased after buying my first 1050!) ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 In general I must say most Polish releases from 199x have great musix mostly done with the CMC music composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hey guys - what about Plastron - even though I'm biased that was a great tune!! In fact anything by Richard Munns (Black Lamp, Tube Baddies, Zero War) and Oral Cornellius (Thunderfox)... Check out the Shadow of the Beast music (by Oral C) on the games demos on my site too - not bad for 3K of music emulating an Amiga!!! sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Master of the Lamps - that had a great tune it as well - Jam on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hey guys - what about Plastron - even though I'm biased that was a great tune!! In fact anything by Richard Munns (Black Lamp, Tube Baddies, Zero War) and Oral Cornellius (Thunderfox)... Check out th eShadow of the Beast music (by Oral C) on the games demos on my site too - not back for 3K of music emulating an Amiga!!! sTeVE The Richard Munns Tunes are at higher level on the XL/XE... Back in time, when the Games are aproaching, for me the following songs were the best: -Arex -Ballblazer -Master of the Lamps -Timemachine Belonging to the Oral C Track (?) its not easy to say "this sounds good", when you know, that the POKEY is able to play/synthesize a real sounding flute (Piano, Guitar or else..) without sampling.

Phred Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Great choices guys. I have to say the following: 1) Ultima 3 (great stuff) 2) Alley Cat (I used to boot it and then just listen to the music) 3) Conan 4) Ballblazer 5) Pogoman (this is my all time favorite, I don't know why but it made me lithargic) Here's to the great games of the past!
