[@ricekrispi]

i’m 16 born in 2003. my dad showed me this game when i was very little and he would always talk about the last stage of the game. being very little i never got there, but i always tried. every time i come back and play this game, i think of him. i miss him a lot!

[@weepingangel6805]

Where is he?

When I play Two Point Hospital, I use THIS soundtrack ;)

[@Asmund648]

Thought I was the only one :O

[@sbarbers66]

Doesnt beat the original tho but yeah

[@UltromanTheTacoman]

@@sbarbers66 Which original? Two Point Hospital OST or the Theme Hospital Adlib or Soundblaster versions?

[@sbarbers66]

@@UltromanTheTacoman gotta be the adlib version

[@UltromanTheTacoman]

@@sbarbers66 This is the sound I remember so fondly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYS5pXtnl758jrM It doesn't say which card is playing it, but I think it's a Soundblaster.

[@jmak1986]

Every tune is iconic in this game. I remember the game being so intense and busy as a kid, the music just kinda passed me by. But listening to it now in isolation I can see how great it is. If I had to pick a favourite (and it's a tough call) it would have to go to 'Fortune.'

[@KnownAsKenji]

Similar feeling but in a different way. I played the PS1 version which had no music.

[@pstzz]

Candyfloss FTW! Short but sweet for sure

[@mcalpha3]

This soundtrack is legendary. Haven't played this game in so many years, and yet my brain still recalls every tune. Nostalgia.

[@pstzz]

In case anyone cares, the original track ordering is as follows: Atlantis 6's and 7's Fortune Candyfloss On The Mend Doctor Frog Night Shift Steady Pulse Writing this comment because I'm rather sensitive and don't like to hear the "wrong" track play next 😂 I devoted hours and hours to this game when it came out and absolutely *loved* it! Also, the soundtrack was an absolute treat to listen to on my SoundBlaster AWE32 🤤

[@CYON4D]

I used to play this a lot back in 1997. Good times.

[@KnownAsKenji]

These sorts of videos make me want a Roland way more than I should want a Roland.

[@meeder78]

I just got an SC-88 Pro. I am revisiting a lot of old games, this one is going on the list as well :)

[@helpmeimtheDoG]

amazing!!! Love it - still even 20 years later!

[@saemikneu]

This is very close to the orginal as it can get but also sounds a bit more modern. Very well done, thank you! If you ever redo it on this track: please switch the bass to a frettless bass guitar as It soundes on the orginal. Sounds jazzier. :)

[@mcalpha3]

I've had Doctor Frog and On The Mend stuck in my head for many years.

[@starhavven]

amazing stuff💙

[@m1geo]

9:06 (On the mend) - I have this as my ringtone and have done for years. The number of people who comment on the song!

[@m1geo]

Still my ringtone, although I'm considering a change to the OpenTTD theme kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIStpmuraLaCo80

[@wendt4506]

Same! My ringtone till this day

[@Thorpe]

Loved the music to this game. They didn't even bother putting it on the PS1 version, though.

[@mcalpha3]

I know what's up with that? I remember a couple years ago I was so excited to be able to play the game again on Playstation after over 10+ years of never playing it, and when I found out that there was no music I felt like throwing the whole console out the window. I was so annoyed!

[@jez9999]

Wow that sucks the game would lose a lot without the music.

[@GAnimeRO]

The music actually is on the PSOne files, but the PSOne has no inbuilt midi player and they didn't bother to convert them into music files that the PSOne can play.

[@EJ205T]

Back in those days, they knew how to make a game look so good at 640x480.

[@twaddington]

I wish I'd had a Roland back when I was playing DOS games every day.

[@hernanromero4195]

Those days i play this game with my AWE64, that midi it wasn't like this, but was close, far away from sound blaster pro

[@Weavaloid]

The music of this game warms my heart.

[@weepingangel6805]

On the Mend and those steel drums.....

[@hf03ngp286]

the fact that tracks aren't in the same order than the ones in the game annoys me. I played so many times that I exactly know what track to expect as soon as the previous one ends.

[@EJ205T]

)))

[@liamwatson5125]

A game with a jazz fusion score.

[@mima85]

Here's my remaster of this soundtrack using another Roland machine, a Jupiter 6: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4Obk32IoreSmLs

[@TheTradge]

These are in the wrong order and it's really upsetting me! XD

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

Terminal patients to the front of the queue.

[@jez9999]

DeadRaymanWalking That was actually the game giving you advice. :-) It was a very good idea to look out for patients near death and put them at the front of the queue.

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

I didn't know that.

[@1973Washu]

Actual triage would be to give the hopeless cases something to make them comfortable and devote the majority of your energy to cases that can be saved.

Sounds slightly different from the SC-55... but not very far. If you want to compare, here's the OST recorded on my SC-55 mkII : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp6VZX2elquaa7c

[@-Nudal]

Excellent stuff. I don't know where/how you get your stuff at, but if you have any way to get the Original soundtracks to Might & Magic 3 and Xeen(4&5) that'd be friggin' awesome.

[@-Nudal]

No no, not Heroes. The original Might and Magic series. M&M 3 Isles of Terra and Might & Magic 5 and 6, Clouds/Darkside/World of Xeen.

[@KnownAsKenji]

As an old Might and Magic lover, it always saddens me to see the inevitable 'not Heroes though' Old Might & Magic kicks ass, it looked at what AD&D and their game series did and created a nice patch of open-world exploratory games when Elder Scrolls was still in diapers. But those games just kinda faded away. I love Heroes but it feels really unfair that it always gets the spotlight.

[@-Nudal]

@@KnownAsKenji I certainly hear you there. As far as games of the same ilk there really isn't anything quite like them coming out anymore either. The Grimrock games were more similar to the older AD&D games really, and M&M 10 felt more in line with the later parts of the M&M series such as 6-9. Even those are nearly a decade old at this point as well.

[@josuealbernaz3185]

Make soundtrack about Blood in SC-88 please

[@santiifm]

Hey, love your videos, could you consider uploading the tzar ost?

How? It's literally the best one! Heathen!!

[@Harjawaldar]

Why Roland SC-88?

[@Harjawaldar]

Did it sound like this on some pcs?

[@sfurta]

Harjawaldar Yes, Sc-88 was one of the best choices in 1996/97, however not the cheapest solution. I had AWE64 Value.

[@Harjawaldar]

@@sfurta So you plugged this bad boi up to your computer and it functioned as your soundcard?

[@UltromanTheTacoman]

@@Harjawaldar Yep. Well, it functions by you giving it a MIDI cable in the bum from the computer. It then played the same MIDI files, only with much better instruments and effects than the default MIDI soundboards that came with the regular soundcards. Not sure where the sound goes, then. Perhaps from the SC-88 and into an input on the soundcard? Not sure how it works when the music is played on an external machine and the SFX are played by the regular soundcard.

[@weepingangel6805]

It always sounded like this on my pc and had no special plugin
