I still remember beating this game back in the '90s with two of my best friends. When three adventurers are surrounded by wall-to-wall monsters, have managed to get lost in the lower levels of the final castle, and resources are dangerously low, this song made the perfect epic last-stand music.
We did manage to escape as we did everything we could to protect each other. Needless to say, we restocked in the Fire Tower and ventured in once again, eventually beating the game. One of the best songs
@NWNisFUN Depending on what emulator you're using and available time, I'd be up for joining a fellow adventurer online. Quest Mode is absolutely amazing if you have allies. Alone it can get a little tedious at times, especially if you're stuck trying to figure out a floor and haven't been keeping up with using your experience as well as purchasing better equipment. In any case, good luck and dungeon on!
I love Transparent Obstacles (the theme from the Wind Tower), but I have to give the gold to Adventures of Iron. It fits the vibe of the final tower perfectly; you've plunged through four flavors of hell, you've survived a mountain's worth of trials and you've finally come to the dusk of your quest, the forboding sanctum where your archenemy is waiting for you....
I couldn't rip audio back in the 90's. Now that I can, this song is totally going into my next D&D campaign, mark my words.
Sakimoto's FM music has this kind of 'open' feel which most FM music lack. I sometimes mistake parts of his music to have been done with samples or real instruments.
@alex51508 I totally hear the Terminator theme in this song. But, it works so well. I miss when VG music was actually composed, rather than slapped together. These days, it's like they write them with the idea that people will supplement the game with their own music, so why bother... This soundtrack among other old school VG soundtracks is why I fell in love with video game music.
not really its an emotional song. The music from the 1st level of bugs bunnys birthday blow out makes me feel depressed and that makes me cry so your not alone there
it also plays in the arcade version of Gauntlet 4 on Megadrive or Genesis among the others. Awesome game, loyal to the arcade, plays smoothly and is a real stress breaker kicking monster butt. Theres a guy on You Tube from the south of the USA called Zelaplays and he looks like the red demons from the game. Its fun to shoot down that RPG hating basturd. Any arsehole that puts down Dragon ques deserves a fireball mailed up his arse.
Damn i remember playing this game for hours and keep on playing just because of the soundtrack.
Miss my old cassettes...

Very inspiring piece. Can't wait until I can get good enough at Piano so I can make some good loops to create my own game music! :D
