STAGE 47: Commodore Amiga (W/ Guest Host Robert Menes)

Retro VGM Revival Hour

The Amiga… a computer platform way ahead of everyone else out there. Released on July 23, 1985, the Amiga, released by Commodore International, was a multimedia powerhouse of a computer, offering colorful graphics, a graphic user interface, and four channel stereo sound This episode will showcase the music of several popular, and even some obscure, Amiga games. As the audio hardware, with 4 channels of stereo sound, was quite advanced for the day, you can imagine that many Amiga games had mind blowing sound. Make sure you have the right Kickstart ROMs installed and your copy protection codes ready, because we are about to go on a whirlwind tour of the sounds of the Amiga! =====Game – Composer – Developer – Track - Release==== 1) Defender of the Crown – Jim Cuomo – CinemaWare – "Title BGM" – 1986 2) Lemmings – Tim Wright & Brian Johnston – DMA Design/Psygnosis – "Smile if You Love Lemmings" – Feb 14, 1991 3) Xenon 2 Megablast – Bomb the Bass – The Assembly Line/The Bitmap Brothers – "Megablast" – 1989 4) Another World – Jean-François Freitas – Delphine Software – "Opening" – 1991 5) Zool: Ninja of the Nth Dimension (Amiga CD32) – Neil Biggin – Gremlin Graphics – "Zool Rave (World 1)" – Oct 1993 6) Turrican II: The Final Fight – Chris Huelsbeck – Factor 5/Rainbow Arts – "The Desert Rocks" – 1991 7) Jumpin’ Jackson – Stéphane Picq – Infogrames – "Opening Theme" – 1990 8) Shadow of the Beast – David Whittaker – Psygnosis – "Opening" – 1989 9) Batman: The Movie – Jon Dunn & Matthew Cannon – Ocean Software – "Title BGM" – 1989 10) Battletoads – David Wise – Rare-Tradewest – "Wookie Hole" – 1992 (Floppy), 1994 (CD32) 11) Fire & Ice (CD32) – Jason Page – Graftgold Software – "Ice World" – 1994 12) Superfrog – Allister Brimble – Team 17 – "World 1: Magic Woods" – 1993 13) Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe – Nation 12 – The Bitmap Brothers/Image Works – "Main Theme" – 1990 14) Parasol Stars – Keith Tinman & Matthew Cannon (original Noriyuki Iwadare) – Ocean Software (original Taito) – "Main BGM" – 1992 15) Aladdin – Tommy Tallarico & Andrew Barnabas – Virgin Interactive – "Prince Ali" – 1994 16) Fury of the Furries – Frédéric Motte – Kalitso/Mindscape – "The Forest" – 1994 17) Turrican 3: Payment Day – Chris Huelsbeck – Factor 5/Rainbow Arts – "Wet Dungeon" – 1993 18) Wiz ‘n’ Liz – Richard Ede & Mike Clarke – Lunatic Software/Psygnosis – "Ingame BGM 1" – 1993 19) Dune – Stéphane Picq – Cryo/Virgin Interactive – "Sign of the Worm" – 1992 20) Cannon Fodder – Jon Hare – Sensible Software/Virgin Interactive – "Narcissus" – 1992 Edgar Velasco: @MoonSpiderHugs FB: www.facebook.com/groups/vgmrevivalhour/ Official Site: nostalgiaroadtrip.com/ AND NOW AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY: play.google.com/music/m/I2uvnfvy4…_VGM_REVIVAL_HOUR
