@ChainsawGutsFuck lawl, It's actually 7/8 because the first part is actually 3.5/4 (but you can't have half a beat lol). It has to be doubled in time to 7/8.
The middle part of course is 4/4 (just the beat makes it seem strange, but it's constant if you time it)
making the song 7/8 to 4/4, and back to 7/8 before looping to the first 7/8 again.
Tales of phantasa used a custom voice engine that allowed for streaming of the music and samples on the fly. This aloud for more high quality instruments used at once than Plok.
"Also each of the 8 channels had an echo buffer that could play alongside the channel, so it actually had simultaneous 16 channels depending on how you measure it."
It still physically limited to 8 sound channels. The snes could have supported around 32 sound channels(though sound dev kits limit it to 8) with out that shitty reverb which would be more a befit than echo effects. Why? You can easily do echo with multisound channels with extra sound channels to spare with .
This is really interesting: stylistically, it's much closer to what you'd generally expect out of the YM2612 in the Genesis, but it's undoubtedly playing off of the SPC!
@WyattEpp "This is really interesting: stylistically, it's much closer to what you'd generally expect out of the YM2612 in the Genesis, but it's undoubtedly playing off of the SPC!" // true, but there are some elements in there that don't even sound like it's on a game system, let alone an unmodified SNES...let alone the non-sample channels totaling to only FIVE out of the eight audio channels in the SNES!
@SuperEnigmation Would you care to elucidate on that? This is an interesting area to me because, while I'm familiar with a number of the stylistic memes of the two chips, I'm not yet so deep in the arcana that I follow your line of thought quite so well as I'd like. Are you saying it's using five channels for non-sampled FM || PSG || LFO? I wasn't aware it could do that....
@WyattEpp Well, Tim Follin was such a genius that he only used five channels for non- sampled FM/PSG/LFO, and the rest were used for samples. Or maybe even that he used ONLY five channels and left the last three empty. He's a genius either way. Lol.
The SNES only played sampled sound, it didn't have any synths except a noise generator that no one used. Also each of the 8 channels had an echo buffer that could play alongside the channel, so it actually had simultaneous 16 channels depending on how you measure it.
@digitaldud "it didn't have any synths except a noise generator that no one used."
You sure? Many snes games had sound effects that sound like a noise generator. Unless it's a sample so compressed that it only sounded like noise which I highly doubt. Even some RPGs on the PSX used noise generation.
"Also each of the 8 channels had an echo buffer that could play alongside the channel, so it actually had simultaneous 16 channels depending on how you measure it."
Also people. SNES can used sampled PSG,FM, and other synthesis instruments. Infact many games actually uses these type of instruments because they take up very little ram and doesn't sound bad when shorted or compressed without sounding bad. SNES doesn't have native synthesis capabilities. He not really that much of a genius. He just actually know how to use real life instruments and know how they sound like. Though Tales of phantasa should take more credit.
This game had brilliant music, but to be honest that was probably its best feature. It was a good game, but boy was it hard, and it had no way to save progress, not even and old-skool password system. You had to be pretty hardcore (and have quite a bit of time spare) to be able to complete it in a single sitting.
It's funny; I really liked this game as a kid (though the length and lack of password or save was annoying), and the music is fantastic, but nowadays, I just can't get into it.
@agetro82 Tim follin was a master of the chip,my friend. His compostions have great flavour due to the tools he uses,all of them absent or not very interesting nowadays.
I remember this game, didnt impress me much back then, but I never forgot about it, and now I know why, holy shit its the 70`s all over again! Its a darn shame I was born in 84 though...
I've been a fan of Tim Follin since I first bought Chronos for my Spectrum plus over 20 years ago, but I've never heard this before - it's AWESOME! Thanks for the upload! :)
IT is really sad that kids nowadays grow up with the graphic-packed un-charming-what-so-ever games... Life was so much better back then... ah, Plok, i miss you sooo much... Curse you, man, who has my Plok cartridge... I have to stick to the emulators for that :(
@runemaster234 my little brother absolutly despises shooting games i got him a snes for christmas and this i played it before i gave it to him and damn is it a hard game
Listening to this song makes me feel like im actually at the beach.. And in England and Wales on holiday. it also gives me that impression of the typical plain cloudy day 'British' beach impression with piers and coves (dont know why). there is definitely something truly unique about this one.
I used to work my butt off to get to the different stages so I could just listen to the music endlessly. I wish this ST was released -- I would buy it in an instant. This vid sounds like it used an emulator for the music as the sawtooth wave sounds lack the distortion especially at 0:14 -- sounds muffled.
@RickRudesMustache Not only amazing sound, amazing programming... the guy who made this music made the music sound so good with limited channels... and its pretty ironic too that the guy HATES video games.. he only "less" hates them nowadays. :)
why isn't this on virtual console? Hell I'd buy it again....one of my favorite platformers ever.
@metalictempest - it was a pretty large cart--they allocated way more space than average to sample fidelity--you can still hear the 8-channel-restriction (listen to the hats--they don't ring). Beautiful, beautiful music though.
@Aperrentis it is slower--it starts out at X tempo, drops back a bit prior to the minute mark (for that kick-ass breakdown) and I don't think it speeds back up when it loops. Try jumping back 2ish minutes (abruptly) once the second loop starts to the comparable point the first time through--it's definitely slower the second time
Amazingly they managed to fit all this into five, yes FIVE channels by using chord samples, in order that the FX can play without affecting the music.
I love Plok. Not just because of the awesome gameplay and incredible music. The nostalgia value is also through the roof. This was the first video game I ever bought for myself with my own money. My savings from my 7th birthday :)
@Aserikoth yeah maybe Hieroglyphics, 3rd eye vision or Pharcyde, Labincalifornia for old school. Also check out Giant Panda, Fly School Reunion. not old school but they have similar sound
When I bough this game in Chile it was on disscount, I´ve never heard about it, and when i started to play it the first thing i noticed was the awesome music for a snes game. All of my friends were looking for this catridge in stores but i think it was one of the few copies that landed in my country xD. Nowdays we always remember this tracks and also we have the mp3's of Plok, and we laugh about how a snes game could have such a nice music xD.
The Follin bros. are musical geniuses...they did another game for the SNES that had almost as good music...check out Spider-man/X-men for the SNES as well, they also did that soundtrack.
@dandantrashcan, now games are based on graphics and complex plot. I think the simple and straightforward games were better. Like Plok, Earthbound, Donkey kong country, etc.
@dandantrashcan I agree, but I wouldn't go as far as to generalize everyone like that. I'm almost out of high school and I spent a good portion of my days emulating SNES and NES games. Hell, most of my friends have played a lot of older games, or at least acknowledge how great some are.
But it really disheartens me to see someone not know what, say, Chrono Trigger, or System Shock are.
@Daandude1 Great idea. If I ever have kids I'll be sure to do the same. Part of the reason gaming has become so simplified is because of the influx of console consumers--both kids and casuals looking for a quick run of excitement, not wanting to think or immerse themselves. And although it's nice to see more and more people become interested in gaming, people should at least play and respect older games as well.
Hell, I'm selling my 360 and switching to PC gaming & emulation.
@Earo16 or not wanting a challenge either. games after the ps1/n64 era really got easy as all hell. it goes with that whole 'everyone's a winner' crap pushed on kids today
@illuminatioracle There are only a few games today that don't go by the "everyone's a winner" stuff you mentioned. Oddly enough, Super Mario Galaxy might fit that criteria just a bit.
@dandantrashcan I'm 14 and I know about them. Hell, I spend more time on my SNES, Genesis, N64, and Playstation than on my 360 or Wii. Although, I do thoroughly enjoy playing those as well.
Man, I absolutely love this game, I used to have it...but my dad won't let me have any of my SNES games...this is one of my favorite songs from the soundtrack, and the one that was used the least, if I remember correctly...other than Plok's House/Venge Thicket...but great game...I just downloaded a ROM of it, just so I could play it again...best thing about the ROM! I can save state and not have to start over.
This has got to be one of the best unknown games ever. Awesome platforming levels, the costumes, the vehicles and specially the music. Sucks that no one ever knows what i'm talking about when i mention this gem, i'm glad there's some people scattered around that recognize it for what it is, an awesome game.
Well, not me. There needs to be a Plok wii- I think Plok can hold up the limbless gimmick since Raymans all fucked up now. But hopefully Plok gets to do more than just kill fleas and stuff.
It just sucks that if I went to school and talked about Plok people would be like "Plok?WTF"
Would be cool but tim follin doesnt make video game music anymore. so the super cool composed music wouldnt be there to complete the ultimate plok experience
I was 9 when this game came out and I never would've guessed after all these years that other people would know that such a great game with indescribable music exists.
Man, it came as such a surprise to me to play this obscure game and to hear such memorable, almost striking tunes. The music certainly made that game.
Well, a vocal minority complain that it was too easy, much in the same vein as people that complain about Viewtiful Joe being too easy. For mere mortals like me, though, it was much too difficult. It's still an impressive game though.
God, this songs literally sends chills down my spine. Awesome music for an awesome game. Somehow reminds me of the Ridge Racer series musical style a lot!

@dandantrashcan I totally Agree of that (I am born 1984)
torerik1234 1 year ago
@dandantrashcan I agree, but I wouldn't go as far as to generalize everyone like that. I'm almost out of high school and I spent a good portion of my days emulating SNES and NES games. Hell, most of my friends have played a lot of older games, or at least acknowledge how great some are.
But it really disheartens me to see someone not know what, say, Chrono Trigger, or System Shock are.
People today only care about the next CoD.

@Earo16 That's why i'm letting my son play on my snes. He actually enjoys playing SNES more then my xbox 360.
But yeah alot of the newer generation grows up in a video game market that is leaning more towards simple games. Instead of original ideas.
The rule has now become the exception, and that's a shame.

@Daandude1 Great idea. If I ever have kids I'll be sure to do the same. Part of the reason gaming has become so simplified is because of the influx of console consumers--both kids and casuals looking for a quick run of excitement, not wanting to think or immerse themselves. And although it's nice to see more and more people become interested in gaming, people should at least play and respect older games as well.
Hell, I'm selling my 360 and switching to PC gaming & emulation.

@Earo16 or not wanting a challenge either. games after the ps1/n64 era really got easy as all hell. it goes with that whole 'everyone's a winner' crap pushed on kids today

@illuminatioracle There are only a few games today that don't go by the "everyone's a winner" stuff you mentioned. Oddly enough, Super Mario Galaxy might fit that criteria just a bit.

@SuperEnigmation yeah, the games that don't follow that formula are the ones that are designed to be retro for download like megaman 9 + 10
illuminatioracle 6 months ago
@dandantrashcan I'm 14 and I know about them. Hell, I spend more time on my SNES, Genesis, N64, and Playstation than on my 360 or Wii. Although, I do thoroughly enjoy playing those as well.

Man, I absolutely love this game, I used to have it...but my dad won't let me have any of my SNES games...this is one of my favorite songs from the soundtrack, and the one that was used the least, if I remember correctly...other than Plok's House/Venge Thicket...but great game...I just downloaded a ROM of it, just so I could play it again...best thing about the ROM! I can save state and not have to start over.

This has got to be one of the best unknown games ever. Awesome platforming levels, the costumes, the vehicles and specially the music. Sucks that no one ever knows what i'm talking about when i mention this gem, i'm glad there's some people scattered around that recognize it for what it is, an awesome game.

Well, not me. There needs to be a Plok wii- I think Plok can hold up the limbless gimmick since Raymans all fucked up now. But hopefully Plok gets to do more than just kill fleas and stuff.
It just sucks that if I went to school and talked about Plok people would be like "Plok?WTF"

Would be cool but tim follin doesnt make video game music anymore. so the super cool composed music wouldnt be there to complete the ultimate plok experience

I'm surprised so many people know of this great game! This has one of my favorite soundtracks of the entire SNES library. Great pic, SupraDarky!

I was 9 when this game came out and I never would've guessed after all these years that other people would know that such a great game with indescribable music exists.

cant tell you how many times this game has ran me over in the past but the music kept me comin
dwolf20xx 2 years ago 2
Man, it came as such a surprise to me to play this obscure game and to hear such memorable, almost striking tunes. The music certainly made that game.

The Gamebit stage in the SNES game X-Men Spidermen Arcade's Revenge shares a very similar structure and motif.

Both games were soundtracked by Tim Follin. He's definitely got a distinctive style.

The only thing preventing Plok from being a classic, to me, was its difficulty. It was all aces in every other regard.
Talloweed 2 years ago
I never played the game. Was Plok too easy or too hard?
Pauzle 2 years ago
Well, a vocal minority complain that it was too easy, much in the same vein as people that complain about Viewtiful Joe being too easy. For mere mortals like me, though, it was much too difficult. It's still an impressive game though.

God, this songs literally sends chills down my spine. Awesome music for an awesome game. Somehow reminds me of the Ridge Racer series musical style a lot!
