On a scale of 1 to 5, what rating would you give the Shadow of the Beast music?

Considering the era the game comes from and that it amazed me at the time, and that I sat down the other day and listened to it I'd have to give it a 4.5.

The only reason I won't give it a 5 is that nothing is perfect, although the chip music on level 1 of Fuzzball gets close ;-)

yep, that `haunting` theme gets a 5.
And the `seven gates of Jambala` gets a big fat zero !!  :-D

a 4? :-)
Do you remember the music of a Dinamic/CreepSoft game called A.M.C.? I liked it a lot... The gameplay/graphics weren't special, but the music was quite good

Definitely worths a 5. It was a close match to the C64 Supremacy theme in it's time.

To Crumb:

What does any of that have to do with rating the Shadow of the Beast music?

Some tunes definitely a 5 (the theme of the grassy plains you start out on, for example), others a 3.

depends which tunes you mean.
i remember one tune. i can't remember if it was beast 2 or 3, but when you died, you got some mental guitar music....
waaaaooooh waahh, jun jun jun, waah waaaaah neeyaaa neeeyaaa dodlooo...
ahem. used to die just to hear it so good. and to think it was only 8 bit.
how long have PC's had 16bit sound cards, and HOW long has it taken them to have GOOD music / sound?!?

That was SOTB2 - amazing music.  The in-game music on SOTB2 seemed to go really well with the atmosphere of the game as well (I've never played SOTB1).

4.9.hehe  That is the best I think possible.  5 to me means perfection, you can't do any better.

Here goes a quite detailed review:

Intro: 4.4 (a teaser to whats comin up)

Title and the plains: 4.8 - 5.0 (close to perfection)

Underground: 3.8 - 4.3 (Drops slightly in quality, but when compared to the plains, what music does'nt)

The castle: 4.2 - 4.5 (overall fine pieces that really suits the atmosphere and the slight increase in difficulty)

Water (last level): 4.1 - 4.8 (music is of quite uneven quality even within tunes ranging from just good to superb)

Game Over (when you die): 4.2 (far from as good as SOTB2 deathscene but still a fine piece)
