The Colonel's Bequest (Laura Bow 1) sountrack (MT-32)

[@tanyak1776]

People will laugh in my face for this, but this game used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. Listening to the soundtrack now 15 years later still gives me a bit of a shiver... Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMegalion]

I dont blame you... I also got scared specially for some surprise attacks of this game...

[@tanyak1776]

Yes same!! Did you ever get grabbed in the closet or the secret passages? I nearly jumped out of my pants the first time that happened to me as a ten year old! I still refuse to go near that closet!!

[@excrono]

Just listening to this now for the first time, but when a soundtrack opens with a "Copy Protection" theme sounding like incidental music from a dark , gritty episode of Doctor Who, circa 1981, I don't blame you one bit for feeling this way.

[@AndrewNewZealand]

I actually think this is Roberta Williams' best game. It has a dose of comedy, but genuinely scary at times. This was actually the first Sierra game I ever saw(a computer shop in 1991 had apparently a demo disk of the game). It seemed like a more female centered game than what I was used to and I was intrigued.

[@TheMegalion]

+Tanya K Me too!!

[@PKpaula425]

The spying theme and the tune that plays while Ethel waltzes around drunk are still my two favorite songs in this game. The death jingle is surprisingly catchy too!

[@TheMegalion]

You said it!

[@RetroPCUser]

PUR's video of Colonel's Bequest videos brought me here. Gotta admit, the music is catchy.

[@Vic292]

Came here just for the spying song. Omg I missed this game. I used to play this constantly as a child.

[@TheMegalion]

Great news!! You can play it again online mode!!

[@OAleathaO]

Wow...I loved this game as a kid. My friends and I played this for weeks until we finished it. Good times. They could have made a movie out of this...Ashley Judd would have made a great Laura Bow.

[@lordandsaviour5666]

I love that bass drum in the colonel takes on rudy.

[@shwahgamer]

I absolutely love the soundtrack. ❤

[@Deathfromabove5]

Thank you so much for uploading this it sounds fantastic on the Roland! The Colonel's bequest is criminally underated as far as Sierra games goes, I never hear anyone talking about it or it's great sequel. I love the art style of this game more then any other Sierra Online game from that era

[@nubAsia]

I played that game when I was 8. On my Amiga

[@Lizardman]

12:45 classic piece!

[@JamesFrizell]

Really appreciate this release. I never knew how much better the sound was when I watched someone else LP it. Looking forward to LB2 if that's what you hinted at ;)

[@KingEuronymous]

Excellent work my friend !!! Thank you so much for taking with such a good care this amazing soundtrack and game !!! It really brings back a lot of lovely memories from my childhood....

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Best game ever! Thank you. I think about it often still.

[@AndrewNewZealand]

Colonel's Bequest recent went on sale via download at GOG.com, so I bought it. I only have Adlib sound, but after hearing this I've decided I'm not missing a great deal. I thought there were some good themes, especially the opening and the title screen. I think it's probably Roberta Williams' best game. I'm glad she decided to do something different from King's Quest. Something a bit more adult. And genuinely scary at times.

[@ambientnostalgia3827]

Great video, thanks for including stills for each track.

[@WyattClark-hq7no]

Always have to come and listen to the drunk ethel song.

[@copyright1982]

Victorla Theme #2 sounds like a bad 1987 one-hit wonder

[@kavya1638]

play this game with crisis sound font.. mind blown!!!!!!

[@HounddogSnakes108]

Hey Sven! Don't want to be a bother, but there's a small typo in the title. Forgot the "d" in soundtrack. Loved the let's play by the way! Loved every minute of it. I'll look forward to whatever you do next!

[@linkeragon7885]

the air ship dock bustled with activity.

[@pmottonen]

Fifi is listening to Bolero by Ravel in 1925, even though the piece premiered in 1928.

[@theflep]

AHAHHAHAH excellent point

[@apeturesci]

What a cruel choke!

[@sigmagamma6675]

I was wondering: is Mighty Fine Shootin' For a Gal (39:02) based on any existing song? It sounds awfully familiar, although that might just be me remembering it from the game.

[@ClassicalMusic1]

Which rags are featured in this soundtrack (except The Entertainer and the Maple Leaf Rag)?

[@IzludeTingel]

anyone have the OST except with beeping speaker?

[@cellar9264]

When I first played this game it was with the PC speaker! The OST still sounded great!

[@cellar9264]

I found the PC speaker version kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn-6Z5qfmLGNaac

[@_rmaze_quiambao5215]

nice on the 720p

[@manegirl93416]

Great!! Now why have you not been releasing other soundtracks on this channel?! Myst 3, Gabriel Knight 3 come to mind!

[@Dilandau3000]

Myst 3 has been on this channel for a long time (since long before I did the LP). Gabriel Knight 3 I never got around to, unfortunately. Maybe some day. :)

[@manegirl93416]

Oh. Nevermind then! I must have forgotten! But we're missing Full Throttle too iirc. And Mass Effect.

[@blurr412]

i wanna know what happens when dear Laura is in the capel and types "hold rant"' . which is probably why i cannot play this game anymore...perhaps it is too scary in real life i think please pardon me then

[@copyright-ur1sf]

Fifi's Victrola Theme #1 sounds like a classical music piece. Does anyone know the name of it?

[@DurinMephit]

I asked this on the MIDI Music Adventures board and was told "Gymnopédie No.1, by Erik Satie, 1888". Trying to identify all the others, too.

[@copyright-ur1sf]

@@DurinMephit That's it! Thank you!

The word “soundtrack” is misspelled in the title of this video.
