(by Schwang, 22 Mar 2006) [7/10] We have some quick & upbeat little tunes here, you can harly keep from smiling or tapping a foot. Very old-fashioned, most won't find these "cool" to listen to, but they are very well crafted and executed. - "Good here, better in game." (by Dvd Avins, 18 Sep 2015) [9/10] The music in the game is surprisingly catchy for MIDI files of 1994. The timbre of notes changes within the note. Each piece is played in the background in a loop, with game context eventually switching the background to another selection. Most of the time, with MIDI of this era that doesn't stop playing, I get tired of it and switch of the sound eventually. Here, the orchestration (yes, well executed simulated instruments) is so well done and the beat is so good that it gets catchier the longer it goes on. That's more true for some of the modern pieces that play when high-level trains are out than for the earlier pieces, but none of them are bad. The music played from here sounds somewhat different, which I've heard happen before in archives. More disappointing, I think some of the high-numbered files are truncated--they end in the middle of a phrase and not in a way that could loop back to the beginning. Still, it's nice to be able to play it while the game isn't running. I don't know how to rate this. The music in the game deserves at least a 9. The archive is more a 6 or 7. I'll give it a 9, but beware. *** More info about George Alistair Sanger *** Known as: The Fat Man Country: USA Member of groups: The Fat Man Homepage: www.fatman.com More info here: http://www.gamasutra.com/galleries/audio/george_sanger/index.htm Original game music from George Alistair Sanger: Loom: Game rip [8/10] [13 Mar 1991] MECG-30001 7/11: Music of 7th Guest and 11th Hour [7/10] [1997] HML-1001 7th Guest, The: Original soundtrack [1993] Wing Commander: Game rip [1986] Ultima Underworld: Game rip [1992] Wing Commander: Game rip [1986] Loom: Original soundtrack [8/10] [1990] MECG-30001 7th Guest, The: Arranged/Remixed tunes [28 Sep 2000] Ultima Underworld: Game rip (Dos) [1992] 11th Hour, The: Game rip (Dos) [24 Nov 1995] 1830 Railroads and Robber Barons: Game rip (Dos) [1995] 7th Guest, The: Game rip (Dos) [30 Apr 1993] Dark Sun 2: Wake of the Ravager: Game rip (Dos) [1995] Loom: Game rip (Dos) [1990] Master of Magic: Game rip (Dos) [1995] Shannara: Game rip (Dos) [1995] Ultima Underworld: Game rip (Dos) [1992] Wing Commander 2: Game rip (Dos) [1991] Wing Commander: Game rip (Dos) [1990] Castles 2: Game rip (Dos) [1992] Master of Orion: Game rip (Dos) [1995] Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire: Game rip (Dos) [1990] Worlds of Ultima 2: Martian Dreams: Game rip (Dos) [1991] SSN-21: Seawolf: Game rip (Dos) [1994] Faceball 2000: Game rip (SNES) [1991] Q*bert 3: Game rip (SNES) [29 Jan 1993] Game music originally related to George Alistair Sanger: Wing Commander 2: Other Zombies Ate My Neighbors: Arranged/Remixed tunes [09 Feb 2003] Castles: Game rip (Amiga) [1991] Loom: Arranged/Remixed tunes (Amiga) [1990] Master of Magic: Arranged/Remixed tunes (C64) [1985] Wing Commander: Game rip (Amiga) [1990] Faceball 2000: Arranged/Remixed tunes (GameBoy) [1991] Star Trek: 25th Anniversary: Arranged/Remixed tunes (NES) [1991] Wing Commander: Arranged/Remixed tunes (SNES) [1992] Zombies Ate My Neighbors: Arranged/Remixed tunes (SNES) [1993] Fantasy Empires: Game rip (Dos) [Oct 1993] Death Knights of Krynn: Game rip (C64) [1991] Zombies Ate My Neighbors: Game rip (SNES) [1993] Albums: SURF.COM: The Fat Man and Team Fat (Europe) [01 Dec 1997] HMLCD0 Flabby Rode HML-1002 Games which composed George Alistair Sanger music in: (if there is platform in the parenthesis, it means the composer composed or ported the music for this platform) - Castles (PC Dos) - Loom (PC Dos) - Wing Commander (PC Dos) - 1830 Railroads and Robber Barons - 7th Guest, The (PC Dos) - Faceball 2000 (Super NES) - Shannara (PC Dos) - Ultima Underworld (PC Dos) - Wing Commander 2 (PC Dos) - Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Super NES) - Q*bert 3 (Super NES) - 11th Hour, The (PC Dos) - Ultima: Runes of Virtue (Game Boy) - Zhadnost: The People's Party (3DO) - Rocketeer, The (Nintendo Ent.
