Really? I thought the first one was "Stage is over" all this time

[@goreallyspeed4819]

The tune around 9:42 was always my favourite - such memories.

[@TheRealKaiProton]

Was that the shop tune..

[@goreallyspeed4819]

@@TheRealKaiProton yup!

one of the best Amiga composers #RIP

[@gooner70_ns]

The Bitmap Brothers and Richard Joseph combo ... unbeatable God's, Speedball 2 and this - awesome 👌

[@KeldorDAntrell]

Speedball 2 and Speedball were AWESOME.

[@Zoulz666]

Loved this game (although it was tough to beat). The visuals, sound and setting was very well put together. Arguably one of the most polished amiga releases imo.

[@andrean.3145]

tough, yes maybe, but i remember my brother, cousin and parents watching me clearing it at the age of 9 with eyes wide open lol

[@benbaselet2026]

Maybe a bit tough at first but you could learn all the sequences when things happened and get quite far.

[@goreallyspeed4819]

I remember the words when I beat it with my brother "The Chaos has ended, you will be remembered". It took a lot of work, Navie and Gentleman team.

[@robtaylor5614]

What an absolute banger of a soundtrack. Of its time culturally but ahead of its time from a gaming perspective. RIP Rich, what a talent!!

[@MorrisChannel4]

when he pass? ill have to do a rememberance cover. was planning on covering a track for deflemask!

[@MorrisChannel4]

NVM, i found out when and why, man that sucks! Lung cancer is a bitch. RIP

[@sammymcfone8281]

All time classic. Still gets my blood pumping. I didnt know an amiga could do this until this. Well done.

[@83BallroomBlitz]

I still think this game could be a really good candidate for a remake, and use a slightly updated version of the intro theme. Could be a winner.

[@Taijito5]

There is "remake" version available on Steam, but let's be honest - it sucks

[@mr.sadist4616]

They fucked up the remake of Speedball II. Unfortunately.

[@DennisRamberg]

well, it's not going very well with Amiga remakes. there's a chaos engine remake on steam that sucks, speedball 2 sucks, shadow of the beast sucks. I actually wish I had the time to make a proper remakes of these titles... I mean shadow of the beast, went from a nightmarish tornment with heart pumping atmosphere into a cheap god of war clone with beast being "to cool for school". To me, that game was about surviving against the odds in a nightmarish hell, seeking vengance on your captor. Capturing those three core aspects in an exploratory metroidvania fashion and Shadow of the Beast could be saved. For Chaos Engine it's a bit harder since top down shooters generally don't attract people anymore. :\ Any ideas? :)

[@Svenburchard]

@@Taijito5 Why do you think it sucks??

[@GordonBraicks]

@@Taijito5 They are working on a version on the C64 ;-)

[@ProBloggerWorld]

This game and Bitmap Brothers are a Legend.

[@seaham3d695]

Made my day this.

[@peterrobertson5559]

Brillant score, thanks for posting this. I had hours of fun playing this classic game.

[@petergambier]

Thanx for posting this up. Those sounds bring back so many memories of long hours of gaming into the small hours, I can almost see the points in the game indicated by the sounds and still have the original boxed game. It was all such a heady time, the games industry was growing with stratospheric rewards for the few and some superb games for the punter.

[@SpaceOink]

This game, SpeedBall2 and Gods are the games who had a killer soundtrack, idea and graphics back then.

[@BritainsAbandonedRealms]

This game was amazing one of my favourite amiga games plus the sound track was awesome

[@theinaudibles6077]

Whistles and horns at the ready! All we need is a massive abandoned warehouse and a huge sound system

[@nihility00]

It reminds me so much of early Prodigy

[@SariennMusic73]

I rememeber playing this on snes! One of my fave games besides super metroid and secret of mana. Been gaming since ColecoVision first came out and haven't looked back since - especially once I transfered to pc gaming. In 2012. 48 years old and still gaming strong! They say rock and roll never dies. But same goes with gaming. Especially with Covid lock downs. I hope many folk found gaming to be the best escape.

[@D4l4m4r]

damn i loved this intro :D

[@Hubert87]

Magic game. Only two disk. Awesome. Poland.

[@nawletorre7136]

amazing soundtrack thanks mr joseph 🦾

[@Marcel-Saal]

best example, showing it has to convince in mono or else leave it, awesome music

[@antwango]

Amiga had amazing tunes and composers! Barry Leitch and this fella!

[@ncshuriken]

Good music, especially the classic intro track, and BADASS looking character portraits just like Hired Guns, and the early PS1 game Loaded, and all 3 games had sick soundtracks!

[@gambit3904]

Man, Pedro's suggestion was on point.

[@ShadowEquinox1982]

Fantastic game backed up by a fantastic high energy OST

[@fandzejka9540]

Imho it's a good reflection of stuff happening in British music in early 90's. Reminds me of Utah Saints and some more things I know.

[@colinthomson7518]

brilliant Game and Soundtrack

[@IceRuler]

One of my favorite games on Amiga 500 and this soundtrack compliments it so well. ... Oddly enough it wasn't music I was concentrating on in this somewhat hectic game. ;)

[@seaham3d695]

This and rollcage soundtrack best on planet.

[@nikolacasule]

This soundtrack had no business being this good

[@danielequadri2762]

re listening to the intro and the first samples made me cry.

Special weapon ! What a GREAT Title !

[@kingintyellow]

For those of you who might not know, Chaos Engine is available on Steam.

[@Mnnvint]

Sadly it's not very good emulation. The game is hard enough without high input latency.

[@themisspultone]

@@Mnnvint and the sound issues, that was the kicker for me

[@JaimeLynBarbarian]

I blast this while working & in the shower every chance I get 🔥

[@ElBloeTigre]

I still remember all the characters to this day after reading the review in Gamesmaster.

[@perihelion7445]

there seems to be a couple of audio channels out later in the video, not a proper recording.

You can make the same, with DOS version of Chaos Engine? Please :)

[@TheTurnipKing]

+Jarl Sigvald a man tried that once. He dd not survive trying to listen to the DOS Chaos Engine Soundtrack.

[@metaljacket8128]

I prefer the Soldiers of Fortune snes version, but this is pretty great.

[@ElBloeTigre]

Wasn't that the exact same game?

[@avalonjustin]

@@ElBloeTigre No. The music was remixed and a few other changes were made.

[@christianherbst674]

I just realized: In level 2, phones were able to beam you somewhere else - many years before The Matrix!

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

This collection seems a bit piecemeal, like we are getting some parts of the tracks but not others. I understand that these tunes adapt to gameplay cues, so making an album from them is difficult, but as presented here, it's not hugely coherent.

[@ericomont]

This mix is from multiple platforms, not original stuff. I would not bother commenting if not for respect to Richard Joseph´s legacy.

[@mr_wildschwein]

the red one looks like the late steve jobs

[@gaymothaunt]

that would be The Preacher

[@ripace554]

Such a great game and a great soundtrack. If anyone's interested, check out my remake of The Chaos Engine theme tune here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn2moZxjnLemo9U
