hi all,
don't know if anyone else is interested, but there's a new album out called "Boy Playground" which is an album of dance music programmed using Gameboy software and sounds. i got my copy yesterday and it's excellent.
anyone into their chip music or wanting a misty-eyed trip down the 8-bit path should add it to their collection :)
also, http://www.8bitpeoples.com have got a LOAD of similar stuff for free mp3 download, and their christmas album is pretty damn good too! :)

Anyway, back on the subject of retro music, I'm a total Sonic nut. I've got all of Sonic 1 and 2 in mp3, I've got some of 3 but working on it. I haven't got any Sonic and Knuckles and I've got quite a lot of the Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 tunes.

that was it - I thought it was a good ending. A bit ripped off from the original alien film though.

It was something like he destroyed the enemies base and got into an escape pod but he was in uncharted space and couldn't plot a course home, so he put himself in status waiting for someone to find him.

yeah, didn't he get stranded in space or something?
I prefer open ended endings, and it certainly was that.

I remember the Flashback story. The ending was a little bit annoying if you like happy endings.
yeah, game companies go mad for copyrights and custom formats.
on the plus side, the music for Grand Theft Auto was all in mp3 format and now the full game is a free download from the Rock Star website so that's a brucie bonus :)
i agree though, i don't see how making the musid available would harm sales, especially when so few games get origional soundtrack releases. i got the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack, but for games like Vib Ribbon that have excellent music but aimed at a select audience, i think being able to download the music would be an excellent idea (i managed to get the Vib Ribbon music from Kazaa anyways, so hurrah!!) :)

retro music :
Perfect Dark I have to say had some of the finest music ever made for a computer game. I have downloaded them all from a site (40 tracks in all) and I think they're just excellent.
With my love for music and degree in computer science, maybe when I finish Uni I should look into this field. Always fancied making my own music.
If only there was a site you could download all game music for free - all the ones I've found only have free samples, or poorly made midi copies of the originals.
