[@Alex-kk5yh]

2024 and still listening to this wonderful Game Music... Thank You for Sharing!

[@AlexMenchi]

Thank you!

37:43 "Nothing yet.... but we'd enjoy the opportunity!" How come it has taken me all these years to realise what they were basically saying they'd do to her if he didn't comply?

[@AlexMenchi]

they weren't kidding!

[@jacu27]

2021 and still listening :D

[@AlexMenchi]

see you in 2031! :D

[@paulh235]

Super frog tune is lit

[@AlgaeNymph]

22:43 - Oo! The was the soundtrack for Exile 2! A lot of assets got inadvertently borrowed during the shareware days...

[@AlexMenchi]

in the intro to the music of Dune?

[@AlgaeNymph]

@@AlexMenchi Someone slipped Spiderweb sound effects from Warcraft 2 (which they took out when they found out), and I wondered why the midi file was labeled "carthag."

[@AlexMenchi]

@@AlgaeNymph thank you very much for this information, it's amazing!

[@yeraysantanaaday6827]

Brilliant machine the amiga, in music even nowdays it has not been superated by any other computer in music capacity, and maybe it will not be superated, it reached highest pont in the art

[@AlexMenchi]

Fully agree :)

[@Justforvisit]

Only system that is on par with it is the SNES. THE two legends of amazing sound chip capability and indeed neither has ever been surpassed.

[@jrscisneros]

Thanks for putting the volumes at the top!

[@Rudei1998]

More nice tunes! The Amiga was really a force back in the 80s and early 90s, musically wise it was difficult to touch. I still write old skool drum and bass and hardcode mods on my A1200 here for a bit of a fun.

[@AlexMenchi]

i really like composing with this machine, even though we have better equipment nowadays. it gives me a good feeling

[@voicesinyourhead7226]

I've been wondering about shadow of the beast missing in volume I. Here it is! :D Good work btw.

[@naviamiga]

Cannon Fodder (Narcissus), simply one of the best tracks on the Amiga.

[@AlexMenchi]

a very intimate piece, composed on guitar after a break-up

[@XL883CNick]

Hybris!!! I miss this game

[@AlexMenchi]

you MUST play it! now!!!

[@internalwarrior2410]

Thanks for your tremendous effort putting these music videos together I have one OCD nitpick (and I feel bad for mentioning it) I like listening to Amiga music in 240p quality as that sounds closest to Amiga hardware . But your videos don't support 240p quality. Is it possible to have that changed. If not I'll make do. Thanks again for the compilation

[@AlexMenchi]

hello, thank you for your comment. I upload my videos in 1080*720. KZbin transfers to lower resolutions automatically. I checked in the settings if the user could choose the proposed resolutions. but there's nothing, I don't understand why KZbin doesn't offer 240p when 144p exists. i'm sorry

[@Ray.Norrish]

The video quality isn't anything to do with the music quality. Did you mean for the visual memories of the onscreen graphics?

[@RogueBoyScout]

At Last.... I found the Hybris drum break !!!! You have done the lord's work my friend....

[@AlexMenchi]

Thank youuuuuu!

[@phalanxiatheroan863]

OMG, rod land just crawled out from my memory cave. Thank you for the intense nostalgia trip.

[@AlexMenchi]

You're welcome 😉

[@oa1971]

JAJAJAJAJAJA al final el CLASICO "Software Failure" ---- Por otro lado muchas gracias por estos buenos recuerdos

[@AlexMenchi]

you're welcome ;)

[@TheRealKaiProton]

Guru Meditation used to plague me on my 500+ music of been over a year before I found a 1.3 Kickstart boot disk to reset, and run all the games normally, well normally within reason, I think the 1meg upgrade didnt work correctly for the + in 1.3 mode.. I could be remembering wrong though

[@DeckerFI]

Dune had amazing music. A little overlooked maybe, since the game was as eccentric as the soundtrack. But the composer really made the most of the four channels at his disposal. And samples are just perfect. I remember being amazed, the whole thing was punching above its weight class.

[@AlexMenchi]

yes it was a success, Alexandre Ekian who adapted the music composed by Stéphane Picq did a good job : the samples are of quality for very few Kbytes. The result is very French, shifted, strange, we have the bad habit to want to make art in all the occasions :D

[@mathiasmoser4102]

I totally agree with you! The music stood out, and I still love it! The game was great, too. Adventure style that gained more strategic focus the further you progressed in the story. Pretty unique even by today´s standards. Played it through several times, last time just a few years ago on emulator... Good times!

[@cbeny38]

Hi, SWIV HiScore is cut before the end. And the sad part is that it that it has the best part.

[@AlexMenchi]

yes and I regret it. I cut in the first videos so as not to make the file too large (in 2015) I re-uploded it since and in better quality kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2W2YYScqtB-j6s

[@mgcplayierground]

To były piękne czasy..łza w oku..

[@AlexMenchi]

good times ;-)

[@Asphodellife]

Uridium 2 is good example to see the limits of most Smart-TVs: 00:09:09. On CRT monitors there's no blur when scrolling.

[@AlexMenchi]

Absolutely

[@bcleary2000]

Really admire the order in which you put super cars 2 on after the killing game show making it sound like one track, links very nicely together

[@Squale.]

Hybris theme is my all time fav

[@AlexMenchi]

I had edited an audio version of one hour, I listened to it continuously :)

[@cezaug]

Thank you for your work... Impossamole was also a game with great music: intro, gameplay and and high score tunes were fantastic for the time

[@AlexMenchi]

Thank you for your watching ;) there are so many games that I had forgotten about Impossamole. I made some late captures in September 2021: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3WXeZiiq7ZknsU and kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGSmo4SDaciqgNE and kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKGQlYKsf8uthJo

[@cezaug]

@@AlexMenchi thanks I will take a look

[@bitbuster512]

Cheating is NOT allowed - not even for the sake of video grabbing. That said - thanks, nice work :)

[@hablom1977]

Now that I remember, I really did play crazy amounts of Arkanoid on the Amiga..

[@AlexMenchi]

It was an addictive game. Try BabeAnoid v2.0 if you can - it's awesome! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ianapZx4gaqFo6M

[@AlexMenchi]

@@LarsTragel-zh7ei i'm agree :)

[@Asphodellife]

Nice one. And in 50fps: good ! 👍

[@rulerss]

i didnt knew dune was on amiga too. i had pc version and some had adlib gold sound!

[@AlexMenchi]

PC version was the first one developed, but i rather like the amiga's musics :-)

[@rulerss]

amiga had the better sound in all games, but dune it was the pc version with adlib gold soundcard.

[@AlexMenchi]

Absolutely!

[@jacu27]

Your compilations are absolutely amazing , really the best of the best :D !

[@AlexMenchi]

thanx :-)

[@SouthernInvasion]

Didn't realise that the Uridium 2 art was basically Briareos Hecatonchires from Appleseed. Loving the compilation though.

[@AlexMenchi]

thank you, you're absolutely right: it's appleseed!!!

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

Apidya!

[@threepwoodsthrifts]

Great compilation Think my favourite is super cars II

[@AlexMenchi]

Thanks ;) mine is Turrican 2

[@nestorgamarra4453]

nice simplemente lo mejor

[@AlexMenchi]

+Nestor Gamarra thanx :-)

[@GyOm1976]

Great job and great selection!

[@AlexMenchi]

thanx 🙂

[@LERobbo]

I would pause Hybris right around the drum solo in-game (34:47), just for that. Battle Squadron, Hybris' successor, was better gameplay wise but couldn't hold a candle to Hybris' music.

[@AlexMenchi]

I like Ron Klaren's music a lot. Battle squadron was lucky to have a good composer... I also prefer the music of Paul Van Der Valk :D

[@LERobbo]

@@AlexMenchi Well, agree. BS was an awesome shooter, in multiplay and the music did complement that. Hybris was the first SHMUP I saw on Amiga, maybe that's why I'm slightly biased.

[@AlexMenchi]

@@LERobbo it's an excellent shooter despite its seniority, I still have a lot of fun to play it: its gameplay is still fun!

[@LERobbo]

@@AlexMenchi Goes to show that in the end gameplay matters, not the world's best gfx

[@AlexMenchi]

@@LERobbo Exactly! A beautiful empty game won't amuse you anymore (Shadow Of The Beast). Not long ago I saw a 6 year old kid having fun with Tempest on Atari Jaguar. Because the gameplay is still as addictive as ever.

[@ezilis]

Good work!!

[@Zeropadd]

❤❤❤

[@galy0]

Thank you for the music.

[@AlexMenchi]

Thank you for your watching

[@ARNBNDL]

Shadow of the Beast - David Whittaker - C'était la musique in game celle ci?

[@AlexMenchi]

Absolument !

[@ARNBNDL]

Alex, sais tu d'ou vient cette image 1:24 ? J'avais une BD à l'époque avec ce genre d'image. Impossible d'imaginer pouvoir remettre la main dessus...

[@AlexMenchi]

c'est une illustration de Roger Dean www.sci-fi-o-rama.com/2008/07/20/roger-dean-shadow-of-the-beast/ dont tout le travail vaut le coup d'oeil

[@cmdfarsight]

Is it me or does Hybris backgrounds look exactly the same as Battle Squadron?

[@AlexMenchi]

Yes it does because it's the same developpers. hybris was created in 1989 and Battle squadron in 1990

[@cmdfarsight]

Ahh that explains it. Bit of a con from them though wasn't it?

[@AlexMenchi]

yes it was

[@cmdfarsight]

I sense a bit of cheating on the Superfrog game ;)

[@AlexMenchi]

absolutely!!! :-) well seen

[@AlexMenchi]

yes! It always ends like this :D
