The intro music of this game is just.. I can’t get enough of it. Loved it back then, love it now.

[@viscountalpha]

Sometimes I'll eat mcdonalds while listening to the monolith burger theme. Not sure if it makes it taste worse or better.

[@toasty_mcdanish]

Mmmm.... zipple sweat.

Did you find the decoder?

[@jorgejimenez4325]

​@@malkmuslistener5459 That's when he finds the secret decoder ring that sets off a chain of events that releases them from their prison. Crazy that was just sitting there in the food ... Scumsoft marketing. God is good ... Hahahahahahaha

What a nostalgic piece of music! It was 1990 and as an avid gamer and Sierra fan, I used the AdLib sound card for my gaming experience but then bought the Roland M-32 when Space Quest III came out. It sounded so good that I had friends from all over town come over and listen to the intro music of this game and others. It was a turning point in gaming sound quality and I still get goose bumps listening to it!

[@chrisstrijbosch9318]

spoken true words, a game era gone but cant be forgotten

[@jcc3279]

Played the heck out of this as a kid in the 90s mt32 and all. My dad is big into PCs we both had custom built Pentiums when I was little and both had the mt32 and sc55 mk ii and I was lucky to have such awesome sound in these awsome dos games as a kid. I found out all that midi hardware is in storage in our house I just need to get around to hooking it all up again. I've got a couple USB to midi cables so yeah I'm gonna hook it up to my modern pc and enjoy my Roland's. Maybe ill hook my Casio keyboard up again to my Roland's and make some killer tracks again.

[@ROYBATTY2019]

I'm sorry. It would to say "Space Quest III", of course. Oh!, and more important information: Bob Siebenberg is the drummer of Supertramp!

[@Davtwan]

Roger Dies #2 has to be my favorite defeat music in all of adventure games. A heroic music-sting that ends on a somber note is such a good little ditty.

[@Yesornoization]

Props to Siebenberg. One of the really great scores; lots of cool stuff in it. Space Quest IV had the epic story, but I always had a soft spot for III, based in part on the music.

[@Yesornoization]

I'd agree with that; it matured a lot from the original (they called them AGI?) games. Lots of good stuff in it.

[@OAleathaO]

Yesornoization Definitely. The first games were based on their AGI engine and the later games were SCI. I loved SQ3, despite being a little mad that I finished it in one weekend of playing :(

[@ROYBATTY2019]

Amazing!! Thanks for this great present, friend. The first videogame soundtrack written and performed by a authentic composer and rock star. "Space Quest II" had many awards and opened the door to the real scores in the world of videogames. Very congratulations, Bob!!

[@OS10100]

The most epic game intro EVER! Thanks for this upload. Nostalgia galore.

[@mthecritic6795]

I can never get enough of that very first note... that BONNnNnnngggggg of "Warm Bell" on the MT-32. Oh gawd.... max volume.... annnndd.... BONNNNGGGGggggg..... then come those glorious synth brass notes as if to cheer; "GLORY BE TO PC GAMING!!"

[@hudsonvalleyguy1]

THANKS FOR POSTING THE MUSIC!!!

[@devastated_studios]

A slice of video game history. Still play these games on steam and even got the t shirt

[@garb7477]

Just finished this a week or two ago. I know folks don't necessarily enjoy the parser based era of Sierra games but this one was truly fun. NGL I think it's 90% due to the soundtrack. Hearing Fester's World O' Wonders reminds me of getting my Astro chicken hat, chuckling when I wore it, and then having Arnold throat grab me and watching my hat just blow away in the wind. I was VERY upset over this.

[@rogerwilco2558]

The parser based games are the best! IMO!

[@PackardKotch]

It sounds better than half of the games released today

[@Nonamearisto]

Along with King's Quest IV (also by Sierra), it was one of the earliest games to have a true sound card and real music, not just the old speaker beeps. They emphasized the music as a selling point.

[@PackardKotch]

Aristocles yeah, it’s pretty amazing, especially with how great the mt32 sounds, though even the adlib and Tandy 3 voice versions don’t sound bad at all.

[@canas1531]

I love this melody 9:55

During 'The Black Hole' at 20:38 - does anyone think of E1M1 from Doom?

[@lexihaley5097]

@harpoon funnily enough - as I relisten right now, I don't know what I was thinking of anymore!

[@SilverGreen93]

FLAC download link is gone. Can you reupload?

[@MrRadar]

If you paste the link in to the Internet Archive you can get the download link. That link isn't in the archive, but it is still live (it's hosted on Mediafire).

[@DragDenDFO]

Wait... this game had MUSIC? 0_o

[@RogueBoyScout]

The Amiga music was fantastic, but this is just AWE-SOME!!!! Now I know why PC headz back in the day went the extra mile to get the Roland M-32 Synth card, it really was something else. In another timeline it would have been used back in the late 80's early 90's for creating acid house/dance/trance ect..

[@PunishedFelix]

drummers always end up being game composers for some reason

[@xRocketzFighterx]

Stewart Copeland, who composed the first 4 spyro games, comes to mind.

[@KartKing4ever]

We're good at keeping time. Also tapping our fingers on a keyboard is similar to drums which works back into the keeping time thing. I'm not a composer, but I am a drummer and love messing around in Ableton.

[@DrTofu83]

As a drummer said, drummers have an innate sense of time, plus most soundtracks had to work on several configurations, with the best being a MIDI synth and the worse a measly PC Beeper. On the latter you basically had to fit a good arrangement of the same song that gave the same vibes with a single, monophonic, loud beep

[@moussetache1815]

@@xRocketzFighterx What. I never knew that!

[@cannibaliowa]

As a composer who got more into drumming as time goes on, I'm compelled to believe you

[@RetroPCUser]

At 15:08 Police Quest EGA reference?

[@doggonemess1]

Could be - I totally forgot about that chicken part. Too funny! It is a popular "chicken tune", though. I'm sure it has a name.

[@adimifus]

@@doggonemess1 it's called "Chicken Reel" by Joseph M. Daly kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJixkKuJgreba8k

[@Willz2006jw]

It's "Chicken Reel" an American folk song from 1910. Here is a random banjo guy playing it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKOWg5aibd6aeaM
