Simon the Sorcerer enhanced soundtrack
« on: March 18, 2007, 01:06:29 AM »
As a subset of the ScummVM project, this guy is re-mixing/re-creating old MIDI music from several games to give them a more modern sound. Simon the Sorcerer is the first to be completed.

What do you think? I think it's an improvement over 1993 MIDI, but it still sounds like MIDI. The instruments are much more distinct and well-defined in the Amiga version's MOD soundtrack, so I think it's still the best. Should have sent him a copy - might have been good to have a second source to work from.

Do,

Allow the mixer to hear how the game originaly sounded as the musician intended compared to what he had to make do with via pc midi ;)

Just had a look at the video preview and I have to say that the remastered versions make a big difference. I never lked those midi tracks. MOD files sounded so much better.

Sure it`s interesting!

I`m thrilled with the enchanced version of Maniac Mansion. Is it possible to play this version with SCUMMvm?

Many many games sound much better on Amiga. Colonization has one of the greatest soundtracks ever IMO. The PC version is just horrible. The settlers is another good example.

We rocked back then, and we rock now. :)
