+mizapf Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Do you know more about music in our TI games? In most cases they are heavily adapted and only sound remotely similar. So far we have: Alpiner Peer Gynt Suite: Anitra's Dance Tombstone City Hell in Texas Hunt The Wumpus (Intro theme) Peer Gynt Suite: In the Hall of the Mountain King (Success) ? Well-known hunting fanfare, don't know the name (Failure) Chopin: Funeral March A-Maze-Ing (Escaped) Wilhelm Tell Overture Final Maybe you can add more here.

sometimes99er Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Alpiner Peer Gynt Suite: Anitra's Dance ralphb demoed Nonogram in the first post and video of his Flash ROM Cart development thread. I was surprised and thought something wrong. I then ran the music at 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz, and the tempo, and mood of the song really changed. Try out that Alpiner song. At 60 Hz and you get something a bit happy and upbeat. And at 50Hz, it's almost sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

am1933 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Super Demon attack: No idea who did the music, but should probably be named "schizophrenic mania as programmed by a sick mind (with bluesy interlude)". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Try out that Alpiner song. At 60 Hz and you get something a bit happy and upbeat. And at 50Hz, it's almost sad. I fully agree. I first heard that song on my European TI console, so it was a surprise for me how joyful it appears on a 60Hz console. Yes, I always found the song somewhat sad or ... schicksalsträchtig ... I don't know an English word for that, maybe "fate-bearing" or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Soccer Oh When the Saints Go Marching In Some more things to find out: Moon Patrol ? (Sounds like some Blues) Dig Dug ? Blackjack & Poker ? Burgertime ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Pretty sure that Moon Patrol and Dig Dug are original compositions... I've never seen or heard reference to otherwise. (edit) Google credits Moon Patrol to Takashi Nishiyama (who also did work for Kung Fu Master and Street Fighter (1), they he may have been the designer rather than composer. Wikipedia doesn't go any deeper and further requests a citation on the name.) Wikipedia credits Dig Dug's music to Yuriko Keino. Both credits are for the arcade versions, of course. Burgertime is also (I believe) original - no credits online though. Edited September 13, 2016 by Tursi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it being "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", but I cannot check for a while.

Toucan Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 How about Protector II's title screen music? That seems like it was probably a classic composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
