April 13, 20169 yr Sometime around 15 years ago when I started getting Youth Allowance (student welfare), I spent a significant chunk of it just buying old games on eBay for the trinkets and maps. I think I have four or five copies of Ultima 5 and two or three or some of the others, duplicates because either a copy was incomplete, or because it was sold in a lot with some other games. Sadly was never able to get the currency coins, but have the ankh (U4), virtue coin (U5), orb (U6), Fellowship coin (U7), pentagram (U8), virtue cards and another ankh (U9) and a UO pendant. I have a sealed copy of Ultima Underworld somewhere, but I don't know if it's an edition that had any trinkets (Runestones) with it. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

April 13, 20178 yr I wish I understood the appeal of the majority of orchestrated game music. Where are the melodies? At least this has a little vocal work, which makes it a little more interesting than a two second drum loop for 90% of the song as it otherwise would've been...

April 13, 20178 yr No, it's just weird...it's like, I listen to early game orchestral music like Jet Force Gemini, or even Baldur's Gate...as well as occasionally a newer work like Super Mario Galaxy...and it's like, these songs have actually interesting melodies and compositions. I listen to something like your Nier song, or the vast majority of a Souls or Elder Scrolls game, and everything just sounds super generic and samey to me.

Don't much understand the appeal, and never have. What do I quite enjoy about Nier's soundtrack is that it's not all 'just' that - it's quite varied, as heard in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PysHY23iHUg&feature=youtu.be and I ... Just love vocals in my soundtracks, which doesn't happen particularly often. Naturally I get why you'd not like soundtracks like these, and to be honest, I too am getting kinda tired lately with overabundance of orchestral music in my soundtracks, which means it has to be really quite special to catch my interest. The two songs I posted just for you ( ) are those I personally consider to be among my favorite music of the last 3, 4 years or so. Edited April 13, 20178 yr by Fenixp
April 13, 20178 yr Yeah, that's more like a regular song than orchestrated music, which I can appreciate. RE: vocals in video game music: I'm super picky about vocal-work in general (misophonia and a broad dislike of most voices in general, sadly...), so it's nice when I find *any* music with vocals that I like, whether game music or not. The MOTHER soundtrack instantly became one of my favorite game soundtracks because it has vocal work that I like (which is especially surprising, because it has a variety of different vocal and music styles - and combine that with having probably the best tunes the NES had to offer to begin with!)...but for the majority of cases, I'm unlikely to particularly care for it. The first song you linked, for example, I didn't mind the first vocalist, but the second one instantly grated on me. Combine that with a really basic and repetitive, er..."melody", and the song just didn't do much for me, . Edited April 13, 20178 yr by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense.

April 19, 20178 yr Would anyone happen to have the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance soundtrack free MP3s from the old Interplay website, circa 2002-2003? It's something that I've been looking for for years now, with no luck. I doubt anyone has it, but if you do...you're probably one out of like maybe ten people who do. The Internet Archive never was able to archive them, either, as a result of the Interplay website hosting them off-site on some ftp server. The only thing that seems to exist of it is some fan-made game rip, which isn't quite the same... Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it.
