***RAISE FROM YOUR GRAVE***
Not answering directly to this survey but since I am in the mood for discovering unknown gems in terms of game soundtrack, I would like to point out the music for Universal Warrior, which is very catchy (the game seems however to be quite poor).
And since Deliplayer is no more, you can listen to these modules with at least XMplayer or BZRplayer

Universal Warrior gets more crap than it deserves. The gameplay loop itself is very okay and it has tons of options outside of the combat arena. Good sound design also. It just has two head-shakingly bad design decisions. 1) the screen starts and does not stop to flash when you are damaged. That is the #1 (retro) game development nono for me. 2) you get bumped backwards when you shoot. That's cute for about five seconds and the rest of the game it is just there to hinder you.

If you can forgive it those big annoyances, I respect the fact that they tried to add sim aspects to it.

The more games I play, the more music I discover. Recently I played Tiny Skweeks which has surprisingly good music to it. Its only a title and a game over track and the one in-game track but at least it's like 5 minutes long

Thank you for the Tiny Skweeks suggestion! I'll definitely listen to it as soon as I can!
Thanks as well for giving more details on Universal Warrior as a game

Missing several Martin Iveson/Nuke titles here that are worthy in my opinion:
Wolfchild (and its incredible two channel music in-game)
Chuck Rock II
Wonder Dog
Blastar
Darkmare
Universe

[saimon69]

And the soundtracks of
Bionic Commando,
Ghouls'n'Ghosts,
Sly Spy Secret Agent,
Qix
by the Follin Brothers

[saimon69]

And finally a pet peeve of mine: Black Viper by Nicola Tomljanovich, that might be as well the best italian soundtrack for an Amiga game so far

Frantic arcade music, Amiga style. Very good.

[sokolovic]

That Ghouls'n'Ghost music praising seems akward to me. I much prefer the original tune of the Arcade version, especially because it is kind of a signature theme for this game. Plus the conversion of this game was a total disaster.

I wonder if it is an UK only thing, like this madness around IK+ which wasn't seen as a good game at all around me in France (not even an average one) but still had good reviews in the UK by 1993/94 when they released the CD32 version (86% in Amiga Power ..)

[saimon69]

We are talking about music here, not the game overall, and in fact most of the amiga games where the Follin Brothers did work were above average at best, with audio working hard to put back the gauge

[saimon69]

I feel a new poll is needed for the NEW amiga games music too

Yes but even... I would have much preferred the original music remixed in an Amiga way better than the tunes the Amiga version had. It doesn't fit the game IMO.

Tower of Morgul - Turrican 1
