Played this game as a kid in the 80s. This song, wizards, the colours and sound effects reached deep within my soul.

It's really great to see professionals opinions of old tunes we used to love in our childhood, even when they were very limited due to tecnical reasons, as you mentioned. However the C64 had some really awesome capabilities and that shows even today. It's the only system I know of that continues to have remixes/renditions of old tunes that are absolutely stunning and they touch your soul musically. Pretty much like Charles Cornell very technical take on some old tunes I think you should anaylize and react to some beloved C64 tunes of old, they do deserve it. I can suggest works from Hubbard, Tel, Follin and many others. Roboocop, Hawkeye, Cybernoid 2, Stormlord, Thrust, Comic Bakery, Last Ninja, oh so many... It warms my heart everytime I hear a new rendition of a C64 tune that I knew as a kid and by then I knew it was great, take Supremacy that you just reacted to: Metal version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gInTnHeVZ82fY6s Modern take: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXu0nIpsd8yIj7c Another modern take: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYGYnmqlgtmAp9U Also sometimes really good musicians make covers that really sound like magic, please check Reyn Ouwehand's versions of Wizball or Stormlord... Or Machinae Supremacy verion of Ginna Sisters... how not to love it? Great flashback! Keep it up!!

Plok ... Especially Akryllic ... Is an amazing soundtrack.

Pretty sure in "High above the land" some of those parts with the drums are supposed to sound almost like a propeller spinning, since the level takes place in airships and such

You definitely should hear orchestral version performed on real instruments :)

One of the best NES Soundtracks ever. It's remarkable how that got that sound out of a NES cartridge.

3:47 grown man discovers 8-bit arpeggio chords for the first time

6:59 Stage 3 is the best catchy and attractive music of the Journey Silius game! Stage 3 WON THIS ONE!

Solstice, where the title is a full on prog epic that’s more complex and varied than the main theme.

Overlord is one of the first PC games I ever fell in love with. Brings me back.

is there any way to get your maps of Xak Tseroth?

I'd say that hard in a playful way sums up Plok well, honestly - Even down to if your ammo being your limbs meaning if you ran out you were a torso hopping along the ground with all the clumsiness in movement that sounds like.

Your face is a completely random variation

Your face is completely forgettable

I hope one day you will be able to review « The Mummy Demastered » ‘s OST. Love your videos!

I love these, thanks!

I designed/coded this game. Tim & Geoff were a joy to work with on this. The title track would make more sense with the visuals.

Nice to see Geoff getting a mention. Tim often gets the sole credit (not his fault). Hi from Plok co-designer!

❤❤❤

It was very interesting to see your first impression on the music, as alot of people I know are already aware and have an existing opinion on it. So seeing yours was very entertaining! have you checked out more of the music after recording because if so I'd be very interested to hear how you felt!

2 tracks for this game were composed by Manami Matsumae who composed both Mega Man 1 and 2. A Thousand Leagues Below and Flowers of Antimony, these 2 were actually my favorites even before knowing she was the one who made them. I guess nostalgia don't lie ^^

Most underrated SNES soundtrack / game, simple as. A lack of eShop remaster or sequel is criminal.

Which one are you, Geoff or Tim?

I am really late to the party as I just subbed but I just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos!

You actually cut off the climax of Mission Briefing. It's a 3:47 long loop

I'd love to know what you think of "Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs" on the Nintendo 64; it's a port of the 1998 FPS/RTS hybrid released on PC and I have a soft spot for that music because while it sounds tinny and lo-fi, the melodies themselves are pretty great and the instrumentalisation lends the melodies an eerie tone that the original PC version doesn't have.

i listen such 8/16 bit tunes regularly. when my 9 years old son asks me "dad, what is playing in you speakers?" i give him an answer which i was dreaming about to pronounce for years: "this is timm folling, son. the best videogames composer ever lived on this planet"

yes! i found another nerd on youtube! the family is growing ;) man now i understand why people watch these "[some dude] reacts some [cool music]". you are like a radio DJ and MC from the old good days

Just the beginning of Strike The Earth.. that epic buildup... like, you KNOW you are in for a fast-paced heroic treat. Very Megaman-esque.

Akrillic, to me, is a ridiculous song. I remember reading someone say to them it sounded like it belonged on a 1970's prog album by Emerson, Lake and Palmer or the Alan Parson's Project - and yeah I can hear it.

Absolute masterpiece! Thanks for sharing

Can a bozak draconian in 5e take the test of high sorcery? Pls....

My favourite are the ocean loaders on C64..for me personally it reflects my soul as a kid in the 80s and early 90s

Review Pizza Tower soundtracks!!

This music always sounds kind of heroic to me, especially the open bars.

yeah

according to the manual, the costume power ups are meant to be based off of movies plok likes.

the soundtrack in the second game is even better!

The look on your face with the first song. You were like wtf. XD

Hiya! Have you heard the OST for Journey to Silius? Also, Megaman 8 is a new(er) game made with the same style chipmusic and blows MM3's OST out of the water! And I LOOOOVE the Mega Man 3 OST! Thanks for all your videos!

Super adventure island has an amazing soundtrack as well.

I hope you went back after this and listened to the rest of Mission Briefing. You cut it off RIGHT before the electric guitar came in! 😂

I understand the following might be too late a suggestion, since it looks like you haven’t posted in about a year…but a few suggestions for listening breakdowns: Revenge of Shinobi by Yuzo Koshiro Gauntlet IV by Hitoshi Sakimoto Sword of Vermilion by Hiroshi Kawaguchi

Just discovered your channel, and loving it! It was mentioned in the comments already, but you have the SNES’ built-in sample filtering off on this OST. Turn it on! The samples sound much better that way.

If you like the original, check out the version of this by LukHash.

you should check out the title theme from Chronos on the ZX Spectrum, it was also made by tim follin on a way less advanced sound chip than the NES.

I'm surprised by you saying you couldn't find anything about the OST of the video, because searching for the game's title and OST after it links me directly to KZbin with all song names covered. Hell, even the Wiki lists them. I'm sure you had your reasons, but also for reaction purposes I think it's incredibly important NOT to research that stuff beforehand, so you get the actual first time impression and reaction out of it. Especially for this game's OST, which catches people off-guard, even more so when they know the songs. It's a huge hook for this game.

I’m glad you finished the tracks, though i wish you listened to creepy crag, flea pit, and caverns

You’re blue balling me man. Finish the songs!

Late by about 2 years for this comment, but who here remembers The Maniacs Of Noise website from a few decades back where they (including Tel) had hundreds of xm mods mostly funky and Jazzy and wow that was my only music for maybe 3-4 years straight, and I still listen to a lot now. Found this late but thoroughly enjoyed your breakdown and head bops Sir! Thank you TTFB!
