The useless screen sucks.
I am 44 years old and I feel all the emotions of my childhood, I see myself in my brother's room playing Beast I & II !!! Time travel is definitely possible. I have tears rising...
@@flintbeastwood7665 So I am completely numb with you !
Right on #metoo
I remember playing this on the Amiga 500 lol
I Know the feeling... let it show... Turrican 2 is also awesome... listen too it if you can.
I can feel you, your right
When the music faded out and you heard the disk loading... absolutely filled you with dread. Then that giant skeleton thing rolls onto the screen and you just about shat yourself... you'd die instantly and then that game over screen haunted your dreams...
this music is killing me inside, this sense of nostalgia, where everything was just simpler, easier and better just hurts so bad. It's so bitter-sweet, I am so happy that I had a chance to live these days and enjoy it, but it also brings massive MASSIVE emotional pain, as I knot that that time is long gone and will never return.
I feel exactly the same way. ❤
Feel the same !
This comment so resonates with me. You couldn't have summed it up better. I miss my childhood, my teen years. Being an adult brings a great set of challenges, equally good times but a lot of pressure. Back then times were so simple. Going round to a mates house playing Amiga games, or Saturday mornings where you could just wake up and switch the Amiga on and play. Buying computer magazines from the newspaper shop. I miss it so much it hurts. I just wish I savoured it more back then. As young teens we never realise at the time that one day things will be a distant memory that we'll look back on with joy. I am grateful I had these amazing times, I am forever grateful to my wonderful parents (RIP Dad) that gave me a fabulous life. Heres to all of you who feel the same. ❤
I agree wholeheartedly to this comment. But I don't think it was just nostalgia. Back then we didn't know what we were feeling, but now when I look back it looks like there was magic in the world, things that gave you goosebumps out of joy or fear. But I think those experiences were carefully constructed by people who knew what they were doing, who had to push as much emotion as they could in the limited mediums they had.
In Shadow of the Beast soundtracks, for instance, I can swear that the flutes we hear are made out of the bones of the enemies we kill, and the drums are made out of the skin of the beast that you lure to a spiked rock in SotB2. The music, the instruments, belong to the environment that you play in.
Only Hans Zimmer does things like that today.
It’s Xmas day 1989 and I’ve just got my Batman Pack Amiga. BEST GIFT EVER!
When my dad hooked it up to his stereo and we played this game the music blew us away.
The best days
10:55 gets the juices flowing!
:D haha
One of the best game OSTs of all time. Period.
I'm 35 years old, with a fiancé, a son, a house, a car and a full-time job, and yet the moment I hear those first few notes I am immediately transformed back into an 8 year-old absolutely shitting myself. This was without doubt the most eerie thing in my childhood, and ridiculously I tried to play this once very late at night with the lights off, my Dad in bed asleep and my Mum dropping my brother's friend off home. Just that image of the Beast's skeleton in the swamp at 18:45 when he dies still fills me with terror.
What an amazing memory to have!
Funny how "those stupid games" stayed with us our whole life having important place somewhere deep withing our hearts.
I concur, this is beautiful... for me, it was Art class in High School, we had an Amiga with DPaint II for 'educational' purposes, then one day some kid brought in a few dodgy disks from his brother, Stunt Car Racer, Batman the Movie, all incredible, then... he pops in SOTB, hairs on the back of your neck moment.. suffice to say, that Xmas there was a Miggy sitting under the tree... gameplay questionable but a true system seller, incredible times!!! - I almost feel sorry for kids now with their iPads and Piggys ;)
You forgot to mention your master degree......... o.O
@@mariuszopas3352 w moim przypadku gry wykształciły zamiłowanie do informatyki, gdzie jestem do dziś :)
I hated the game over screen in North vs South more as a kid. Dunno, it just found it scary for some reason.
Who prefers the amiga soundtrack to the arranged cd one on pc engine and fm towns? I certainly do!
It has that texture only the Amiga sound chip can produce. Still like the CD ROM versions tho.
Me too, the Amiga is so much better and unique.
I prefer the C64 OST
The sample based tracker-style arrangement gives it a "punchiness" that's just lacking in the pre-recorded version. The FMTowns version (like many such "enhanced" CD-based soundtracks on the Towns, such as CinemaWare's stuff) has too many synth clichés, with too much sustain and reverb.
Overall, the Towns version was inferior to the Amiga; while the Towns had impressive video hardware, it relied on an 80386SX to drive that hardware (IIRC, it didn't have a separate displaylist style state machine hardware). Given that games were trying to drive 8 and 16bit color depths (sometimes with mixed video pages), the 386SX just wasn't powerful enough. The result was games that looked marginally (if at all) better than their Amiga counterparts, but tended not to play as well. Very quickly, standard PC's, using regular VGA (with modeX tricks) and far more powerful CPU's, rapidly made the concept of the FMTowns proprietary x86 machine obsolete.
This question requires no formal answering as it answers itself in the asking.
David Whittaker's masterpiece sounds so good.
No words can describe the feel Shadow of the beast can convey. Love all the 3 episodes, most atmosferic arcade/adv games EVER. Masterpieces.
One of my favourite games of the 80's, along with 'Last Ninja' and 'Another World'. All 3 of these games held pure atmosphere.
It's amazing, because i drew a furry fan art of THE LAST NINJA and posted it on my CZcams channel 😺👍.
If you like, you can check it out 😺👍.
Very best of AMIGA music.
hey it's been 30 years when this music was done ... today I listened this many times in a row :) love this. still.
This blew me away at the tender age of 10. Magnificent.
I am a teenager and still when i fired up the game a couple of days ago I got a weird feeling of nostalgia. I don't know how. I grew up on snes ports and 90s pc games. But man that feeling of nostalgia never hit me when i played em back. SOTB is something special
Same
Love how the ps4 remake has a feature where you can unlock the option of playing it with the original Amiga soundtrack
Yeah! It's a recognize that this soundtrack is a masterpiece!
No way! It would be worth buying just for that.
There is a remake?!!
@@wizewizard1840 Yeah, PS4 game
czcams.com/video/IoiVx0GjNzM/video.html
Just amazing! I'm happy to be born in the 1970s :-)
I could listen to this everyday, AND all day long. It's just fantastic.
Playing this as a child, no game case, no manual just a mystery cartridge handed down with cousin's Sega, was a surreal and unforgettable experience. An adventure in to an 'alien' land. The furthest I got as kid was a couple screens into the castle... Way too many unpredictable enemies... Good times.
It's great to hear this in objectively better quality than the Sega version I grew up with.
This game blew my mind back in 89. I was 14 years old. And to think now, that this game apparently started as a parallax scrolling demo.
There wasn't yet a single Dolbyfied upload from any of the Beast games. So i'm fixing it. Similar uploads will be coming from the two sequels.
thank you soooooooo much
You are the real MVP
I'm not
What does Dolbyfied mean?
@Pamela May It's 2021 and I've still never used surround sound. I've got stereo speakers and a subwoofer. It I have headphones. Never has a center channel or rear left/right speakers.
Only turned 18 and Amiga is my beloved computer. I remember when my dad showed it to me for the first time. Shadow of the Beast was one of the first game I ever played on it. Such amazing piece of hardware and amazing game
Marvelous! This beautiful game was often used in shops in demo mode to display the true big power of the underlying hardware! It was magic even just watching at it!
Watching it was more fun than playing it. Most Pygnosis games were like playable demos, beautiful graphics and sound that showed off the Amiga's hardware but were shit game with completely rubbish level design.
i was a little kid and all my friends had c64 and all i wanted was to play giana sisters. then one day it happen dad got a computer but what was it ? O_o there it was a amiga 2000 which later grew into a 2 mb chipram 16 mb fast ram picasso 4 pc hardware emulator board 3 hard disks with around 246 MB combined and more discs then hair on my head.. i had no idea what to do with it since i only know load *.* ,8,1 .. but here it started and this music was part of my time discovering a new machine no one of my friends had. was a great time and it gives such a nice fuzzy feeling. all those memorys i can imagine the smell of the room i was sitting in at that time the feel of the chair how it felt to click my joystick button. thanks for the quality upload
There's a reason why the reboot includes the first game's soundtrack for optional usage.
Thanks for taking time and effort to give me chance to time travel back to the happiest time of my life. Amiga games was a big part of my younger days. When I was playing these games I was young, "immortal" and without any worries about the next week. Now I am "old" 55+ , have more money, running my own well-established IT-company but full of worries. For those over 30 reading this. “I’ve learned that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes. To everyone: Enjoy life, stay close to your loved ones. Live it to the fullest.
Shadow of the Beast soundtrack was BOSS! Loved every tune in that game. x3
I used to play this on my amiga500 great memories fantastic sound track listening to this now gives me shivers.
I had listened to that cracktro on repeat at one point when I was a kid, I was obsessed!
Yeah that’s a quality tune. Wonder who wrote that ?
@@evansdm2008 it’s in the description.
Zenith Quasar I wonder who wrote the description…
@@evansdm2008 what are you on about?
Must admit I always found the graphics and music to be far better than the gameplay in the SOTB series, but easily one of the best soundtracks of the Amiga era
I think this is the case for a lot of games, music can bring a game to legendary status or the opposite
Yeah. The game difficulty and variations through different ports and licenses made each one either easier or more difficult. But the main things remained.
It was immersive
The music was great across all platforms
The game play wasn't great
It was basically a "memory" or trial and error game, just keep playing and dieing untill you know where the enemies cos from. Not alot to it, but that soundtrack...
I'm 60 and in the early 90ties I played Lemmings. In one later Levels this one was the backgroundmusic. My Mind was blown up.
I played the Level again and again, der just to listen to the music.
I'm talking about the introtune.
Yeah, there was a homage level of Beast 1 and 2 in Lemmings :)
Yeaahhh!!! Lemmings! The music was so great! My mother ( 44 y/o by then ) and me (10 y/o by then) use to bet over who would past a lever faster! 😂 😂
...sometimes she was cooking while playing and everything burnt out !!! 😂😂😂
A lot of fun !🎉
Now i am 44 y/o and would love to.play that again!!!!❤
The best soundtrack to play for giving out Halloween candy.
The music and visuals were far superior to the gameplay but it remains a noteworthy title.
Great upload.
gives me proper goosebumps for sure! Legendary music
Ohhh nostalgia. Over the years, I've made many searches for this soundtrack on CZcams and it just never gets old. Thanks for showing the intro sequences too! I'm sure everything has been said about this amazing score but man, the artwork was so inspired! I don't know if this game was a financial hit but I do know it has made a significant mark in the memory of everyone who played it. Definitely a cult classic.
reminder that david whittaker also composed "stardust" from his game lazy jones, which was sampled by zombie nation for the stadium hit kernkraft 400
This game was too hard for me back in the day, but I sometimes just stood there listening to the music. My cousin still has my Amiga 500 from back in the day, one day Ill sit down ad play it...one day.
This can't be for headphones only because it sounds awesome on my stereo loudspeakers! Thx! You're the master of classic game sound uploads!
Listening on my soundbar right now. Fight me.
really making use of the additional space of stereo channels, ha haaa. it becomes a bit too pronounced on my studio monitors as we speak. but hey... i'm not complaining though!
One of my favourite soundtrack of Amiga music :)
Thanks
Glad you included the Paranoimia cracktro!
going down memory lane. Everytime I got so excited hearing the title music and was wondering, how far will I make it this time ...
Un grand bond en arrière pour cette magnifique music que de souvenirs !!!mais que le temps passe vite 😅😅
Mais quelle chance d'avoir pu voir l'évolution gaming de Pong à aujourd'hui! 😉
i bought an amiga for the music of this game.
Before Doom: Eternal, there was this.
Once again weekend, a couple of drinks, headphones and nostalgia... Kuokka77 channel for the win! Just clicked somewhere in the middle of this one and almost landed on my absolute favourite part of the entire music of the game... 07:32. Gives me goosebumps everytime. I do not think the musician of this tune understood at that time how powerful that part is. I should collect a medley of all the super great parts in tunes I love and put them together and loop it over and over again in total euphoria. Thanks Kuokka for dolbyfying this and all the rest of the stuff you put up.
Hey! me again 🙂! long time ago. still like what you´re doing! it´s so awesome that you refiilled old amiga games with new spirit! always in my superduperplaylist! never forget!
Parts of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds synth concept album reminded me of this
I'm in the minority who never had a PC until much older. I played this on SEGA GENESIS and understand there are concessions made on each soundtrack and some even for frame rate.
I hear the woodwinds samples greatly on this one and it's tremendous. Always heard the GENESIS bit through clustered angry far BLEAKER tones and it was creepy as shit.
You can never forget this soundtrack it's damn near cinematic. Hopefully someday these and some notables get their due regard
the Intro is just PERFECT 3:24
I never had a amiga and i never heard of this game since i found this video but now its my favorite amiga soundtrack
Amiga❤💘
This hole soundtrack is so much better than any other amiga game music release
Turrican 1 & 2 are honestly better
wow best sounding version i've ran into on youtube. Excellent job man!
I remember playing this on a ROM as a kid. For some reason the Plains music was replaced with the title music, and I remember looking for that theme for years back in the day. The melody of the Title theme inspired me so much, even today when I write music I mostly think back of that specific track and the DKC soundtrack. Amazing song.
wow,including the "Paranoimia cracktro".
For anyone into records this is coming out on vinyl later this year! licensed from the main man himself.
Todd Marriott Pure digital music creation on a pure analogic media.
Good morning ,i have been a little high on the weekend and was going trough your whole channel.i really like what you do ,such a nice channel, i always loved chiptunes and wasnt aware of the amiga at all because i had an c64 back then.i Think i have watched all your videos through the weekend^^keep the good stuff coming .Greets from Germany =)
pure classic
One of the first parallax scrolling 3d's ever made. Thx for that 😁👍
happy memories
Wonderful!
Well done! I'm really enjoying your videos, but this one in particular stands out as one of the better ones! :)
Personally it bugs me that this was recorded with Maya22 USB @ 96kHz, which later proved to be inferior to Juli@'s 88.2kHz recording (Juli@ really is a remarkable soundcard considering its age, especially its ADC). The difference is audible. So this could've been even better quality wise.
amiga forever! the best sound!!
Honestly, by far the best SOTB soundtrack from all the various versions, it beats the CD tracks.
I love your work!
This really brings me back
Commodore Amiga steps into the room, drops Microphone .... turns and walks out the room.
you hold the fire button and the joystick to the left while loading for invincibility :P
Plains 1 is a masterpiece!
Agreed! I tried to recreate it in 6 channel AY using Vortex Tracker II for a Spectrum Next demo I was working on - czcams.com/video/HMmASvAcPLM/video.html
thanks for the beautiful memories... MAGICAL TIMES (love that crack music too!)
This OST had some great theme that are unfortunately overlooked. Good job dolby-fying it :)
Still the best baby , the best
SHADOW OF THE BEAST is so legendary,
I even drew a fan art of the old logo
and posted it on my CZcams channel 😺👍🕹️.
I was in highschool when i had the amiga 500.. the best thing about owning a commodore computer be that CUT or the Amiga 500 was that you never bought games your friends would give you a copy....
Shadow of the beast was a hard hard game 😆 but the music was amazing
Amazing music. I love it.
absolutely my fav game soundtrack :D Awesome
Extremely stylish music! I don't even know the game but this music is great
Amiga Forever
Water is my favourite track :-)
Love it!
Funny that you got the same cracked beast-version, that i do. But meanwile these Intros belong to those brilliant games as the game itself. TWO THUMBS UP - Great Sound
I loved this song
INSTANT SUBSCRIBE!
Right in the feels.
great!!!
Mes plus belles années ❤
i heard one of these intros for a gta game software my friend had downloaded back in the day.
Great channel
I use to load this game up just for the music🎶.
Im 54… and a living paradox … and ❤
Sounds sick with Dolby Atmos
I play everything from amstrad and after this soundtrack is the best.
Nice! 👍
Just perfekt… ❤❤❤
David witaker … ❤
For all SOTB lovers, the best remakes are on the Immortal VOL1 CD, here comes a sample:
