which amiga game has the best music ?

[turrican3]

everybody forgot wings of death

[Retro-Nerd]

Indeed, the Wings of Death and Lethal Xcess music is really good. Especially the title tracks.

[Retroplay]

Intro and title tunes in Full Contact and Miami Chase are both great.
Title tunes in and Alien Breed and Assassin.
Hmm all Team17 related games.

[Retro-Nerd]

Title tunes:

R-Type
Carcharodon - White Sharks
Death Mask

[TCD]

The title tunes of Powermonger and Rings of Medusa are really nice. I like the medieval touch of both.

[coze]

when you said medieval touch, I remembered castle master great tune.

[s2325]

Hero Quest, Flimbo's Quest, Gold of Aztecs, Gods, Shadow of the Beast 1-3, Zoom, Dimo's Quest, Trolls, Jaguar XJ220, Lotus 2-3

[Magno Boots]

Don't forget..

Time Machine
Lemmings (except Doggy in the window )

And three great PD tunes..

Cubulus
Crazy Sue
Dr Mario

[Monsterland]

1. Shadow of the Beast
2. Dune
3. Monkey Island
4. Battle Squadron
5. Golden Axe


When I type this I can't ignore Lotus, Gods, Speedball 2, Agony, Blood Money, Powermonger, Populous, IK+ and so many more. It's good I'm moving into my new house very very soonish so that I've got room to set up my amiga again even if it was only for the music of many games

1. Turrican 2
2. Project X
3. Cytron (Crap game - Good Tune!)
4. Pinball Illusions

Turrican2,3,1(2 has incredible tunes but also 3 but they get less a mention that i think they deserve.1 has some good ones but Huelsbeck's genius was mostlyTurrican2)

Gnius (never gets a mention it seems but stunning music)

Apidya

Chaos Engine

Shockwave

Elf(nice 1st level music)

Driving Force

Onslaught

[laffer]

The first games that come to mind for me are -

* Turrican 2
* Lotus series
* It Came from the Desert (the music in this game is used extremely well, creates an incredibly strong atmosphere)

That's true, just like the Elvira music in the garden area.

[frikilokooo]

I usually listen to more demo tunes than game tunes and my favorites game tunes are:

ProjectX
Xenon 2
Blood Money
Agony
Monkey Island
Cannon Fodder

It was the first time I heard a whole "real" song done on the Amiga. Usually the most you would hear was a short loop from a song like Pump Up The Volume or (as in Interphase..great game btw) She Drives Me Crazy. Or you would hear a reindition of a known song like Axel F but done with basic instrument samples.

it was done completely with samples from the original (by Bomb The Bass, I think it was called 'Megablast') from start to finish, and it used lots of really clever sampling and tracking techniques to save memory.

At the time I don't think it had been done before.

If you know of other tunes done in the same way and from before Xenon II, I would love to hear (about) them!

The drumms in Heimdall are not bad...

[oneshotdead]

Apart from the title, I don't see how Beast 1 can be rated above Beast 3 - absolutely speaking.
Beast 3 has so many variations, and the tracks are all masterful IMO.

R-type is eclipsed by Super R-type, and totally destroyed by R-type 3 (both SNES).

The music at the end of Another World was great.

Speedball 2 intro music
Shadow of the beast 2(game over page)
Lotus 2
