This is one of those rare video game soundtracks that you can just put on in the background and leave it on repeat for hours and hours, yet never get tired of it. :)
it is my wake-up alarm for years, and whenever I try anything else, I switch back to THIS, just because nothing else can make a morning wake-up so joyous
I listened to this song for the very first time yesterday. I never even heard of this game before, so it's not nostalgia googles; this song is truly awesome.
The game is just as badass and it ran on a 386. In fact, it won't run on anything much faster than a Pentium without a patch or some modern code due to a bug in Borland's compiler library. The game has been released for the community to hack on, assets and all. The franchise is commercially dead so the devs wanted us to have it. The game's graphics aren't too impressive today, but the mechs all feel both HEAVY and extremely responsive given their weight. The challenge vs. other 2D fighters is learning how to fight to the strengths of each mech rather than just memorizing a move set. Using the stages also comes into play. Give it a go if you haven't yet!
I was listening this one day few years ago, and my gf at the time asked me "What the fuck is this shit?! Turn it off" Needless to say that I left her short after that.
This stuff has been a significant part of my life and *is* a part of me. If my gf calls this shit, she calls me shit as well. So if that's her opinion then she shouldn't be dating me. She clearly didn't want *me* Maybe I'm being petty, but if I can't occasionally nostalgia trip in my own house when I want to, then she needs to go. I'm not giving up myself for her, I am the only thing that I truly have. She can't be *THAT* important. Also, if I were to give up myself for her, then who would she be dating? A soulless drone? A dead man? There are plenty of those to go around without me being one of them. So fuck that... *YOU WIN!* Perfect Round 400,000 Vitality 400,000 Destruction Bonus 400,000
The reason I love this song is because it fits perfectly with the storyline. Despite its obvious hazards, WAR's tournament is the ultimate opportunity for each of its contestants to change the world. I also think about WAR's parallel to the history of the USAF, who back in the days of the USAAF would employ airpower for both entertainment & recruiting purposes. The theoretical development of HAR technology & its use/abuse by multinational corporations isn't far from how airpower is used today.
I think ultimately it is the story of evil corporations vs exposing them and be hero. Bubblegum Crisis for example. Even Sailor Moon. Establishment vs we, you, us..
The big question is, which ending is canon (the sequel, One Must Fall: Battlegrounds, which is set 20 years later, doesn't really make it clear... which is just as well since that game really isn't that great save for the music)? I'm inclined to think Milano's ending is the main ending, with elements of Shirro and the Devroe twins' endings (Crystal and Christian) thrown in.
I suggest a intel i486 dx2 66mhz, 8mb of ram, a soundblaster 16, and any high quality vlb video card will do. Also an upgrade to 256k of cache actually helped gaming a descent amount back then. If you want to play true 3d games like quake or build engine games at that point I’d go for an early Pentium (66-100mhz). But a 486 is the perfect speed for games like doom 1/2, wolfenstine 3d, jazz the jack rabbit, sim city 2000, mortal kombat, Sam and max, one must fall 2097 and much more.
jazz to the rabbit, what a game. You are so right. Whenener I opened up a game and it would show Epic Megagames. I knew this game would be a huge quality fun game. They made so much games. I wonder if they are related to Epic company now?
@@gambaownsus I do know Epic Megagames later became Epic Games and became well known for releasing Unreal Engine editor for everyone to be used, the same thing can be expected regarding UE5 next year. When it comes to OMF, I don't think the developers are still around, I've heard rumors that there's no way of being able to contact the copyright holder (I believe the copyright holder is Rob Alem), so that does mean the franchise is pretty much good as nuked for years. However people should still be able to make a fan game of OMF without problems as long as the game doesn't affect any sale numbers and no money is made with the copyrighted name. I'm learning UE4 for a year now, so who knows what the future will bring, pretty sure there's more talented people that knows UE4 and can bring the name back to life as a possible UE4(or 5) port. Also wish Epic didn't nuked Jazz Jackrabbit, I know there was a Jazz 3D(Unreal Engine) in the works years ago but later got cancelled. :c
+jaylinsa i remember my uncle wrecking shit as jaguar :D i was like yeah! slam him into the fence! before my mom came in and took me out of the room xD years later i got the game from him but was never able to be that good >.>

My phone would melt this machine today. Lol. Dominating on the OG Team fortress, jamming Nine Inch Nails on the logitec w subs. Yeah I was one cool kid.
One of my childhood memories that has always stuck with me was that I would use this song to test out every MP3 player and headphones/earbuds I bought and I always judged the quality of them based on how this sounded. I also remember spending hours adjusting all the levels to hear the different instrument tracks and how this song on repeat made my 45 minute walk to high school tolerable and fun. Quite simply, if I could pick only one bit of music to listen to forever, it would be this.
This game was, to me, the epitome of good music back when I was really little. I'd just sit on the main menu for a long time listening to this. Thanks for uploading the whole set, it's just as I remember it!
I remember the first time I fired this up as a kid it gave me goosebumps and a chill down my spine. I knew I was in for something special. It's still to this day my favorite fighting game. It didn't reinvent the wheel but it oozed so much style and played so well it stands well above most games of the same genre.

@@unrealengine1enhanced gargoyle and electra are actually the S tier robots in the game, and jaguar is very close to the bottom but is also simultaneously the best counter for gargoyle.
This music still gives me a shiver. I was just 16 when I plaid it. It was fantastic, also, the chronicle in Manga style. GOOD GAME AND GOOD SOUNDTRACK!
Heard this mentioned on a Wha Happun episode, and, for my dude Thorn's sake, I had to see if the ost was out there. Oh man, I'm nostalgia tripping so hard right now.
Ahhh what a great theme. I remember playing the shareware version of this game on my father's old compaq computer as a small child, this was so alien to me. Such a cool aesthetic.
This is Gravis Ultra Sound, Canada's Answer to the US Adlib. GUS uses filtered synthesis, taking solid basic waves and manipulating them with filters to give them versatility. The Adlib uses Frequency Modulation, which takes solid sine waves (and in the Adlib's case, Half & Quarter sines) and smashes them together to create a sound. GUS sounds softer while Adlib has better volume & wider frequency of chords but are more basic with less fullness. Both sound good though when used by the right artist.
This sounds so good! GUS is legendary. Just to compare, I played the game on my AST 8090p (Pentium 90 Mhz, 1995) via ESS AudioDrive 1868F to Koss PortaPro headphones. That also sounded great, more bass-heavy but it kind of suits this intro music.
One of the greatest themes of all time. Too bad I've never heard a single remix or cover I've liked. Nobody has ever enhanced this without also damaging it. Take that as a challenge... I'll wait.
Such a fantastic soundtrack, eventhough it's kinda small. Quality over quantity eh? I still play this game *to this day*. Which is rather incredible since it came out so long ago. It's one of my favorite DOS games and also one of my favorite fighting games. Yeah the roster is small and the controls are rather simple; but there is still a lot you can do. The tournament mode especially is just amazing!
epic games apogee and ID lead the market they all gone . Gus with 256k - 8 mb rom for midi was a bigger isa card than a motherboard in a laptop and gus was the best sound card that time (counterpart for cheap cost sound blaster) no one exist on the market so sad... Eventually this is an epic game;)
Szilveszter Dömötör Epic sold out and is making fortnite instead of making the Jazz Jackrabbit remake they really SHOULD be making. ID is still making decent games. Apogee (3D Realms) was shut down for a bit but they're back and working on a new build engine game called Ion Maiden and it's pretty great so far.
This old game music has something which new music would like to ever dream about, it's called soul, old games music such as : Fallout 1,2, monkey island, Warcraft 2 ...It went downhill since 2002 , nowadays game music sucks, it's not imaginative anymore, maybe im the only one who is thinking that way, but still, music in games just sucks nowadays

Whenever I kicked the enemy's ass and the old man got all sweet I thought he was saying I'd been watching his fights at the Ho Lo Library (pronounced hoe-low, like a Chinese restaurant or something) instead of Holo library as in holograms
Yes, it does matter as many Epic games use the hardware of the GUS to play the music instead of software playback used on other cards (loads the samples into the onboard RAM and does the mixing with it's own chip). Some module players and trackers also support hardware playback with GUS and/or AWE32.
9 лет назад
I can see how that saves few CPU cycles but as mod container contains and tracker/player uses the samples/instruments, the output should be identical regardless of the card. There were some technical limits if i remember correctly but generally it wasn't problem as such features weren't used much which didn't work universally
9 лет назад
And to be clear, i'm talking about game music playback in mod form. Otherwise it was another ballgame.
+Markku Hänninen A few CPU cycles? 386 and 486 were the standard back in '94. No room for advanced interpolation in them.
9 лет назад+1
+Daniel Arnestad Well, it is 20 years ago but we had GUS and sound blasters with our group and as far as mod music goes, i don't remember hearing any difference on GUS or sound blaster in sound quality or playback. They sounded identical on all machines. Some other formats and styles of playback had huge differences.
Berqist FLAC Should work. Just convert it to mp3 with something, like LameDropXPd. Mediafire deleted the mp3 version because it got a false copyright complain. I don't want to risk my account by uploading it again.
The covox speech thing was capable of outputing mod files since 1986. Now it's absolutely not on the same level of quality as the GUS. And this isn't the first PC game to use mod files for music either. This problem was up to programmers but unfortunately before the early 90's, only few people seemed to like PC even though since the late 80's it became a very performing machine. (This is probably due to it's really high price though)

The game is just as badass and it ran on a 386. In fact, it won't run on anything much faster than a Pentium without a patch or some modern code due to a bug in Borland's compiler library. The game has been released for the community to hack on, assets and all. The franchise is commercially dead so the devs wanted us to have it.

It doesn't sound too different from when I play the files in OpenMPT.
In this case you're really not getting much benefit playing this off of a GUS as it's tracker music with all the samples embedded in the file.
