A500 Project X - Intro + Demo

[cadmus98]

This music... when you hear it, you instantly know what era it's from. Everybody dance now, heh.

[Gotlanning]

1:03 Nr 8 thats my Brother :D. Oh the memories.

[Phorsefield]

GUNS..power up!!it was so hard this game but still massively addictive think i only ever got to the second level with the mountains even tho i absolutley kaned it every day, i might ahve been crap at it but i think it was one of those games where the more time you ut into it the further you got!!

[MotleyKeith]

Select now for PLASMA! power up

[poulix21]

For me it's the best video game music^^

[Richie979]

Brings back so many memories. The Amiga was such a magic machine. It was like a friend? It took you on a journey. I loved the Amiga 1200.

[TeamRocketReviews]

Absolutely brilliant music. I would buy an Amiga just for this music. Or I could put it on my iPod. I'm going to do both right now.

[sanryoga]

I never played this game, I just used to boot it and listen to the music

[MotleyKeith]

Amiga + WWF = Best time to be a kid :D

[KingElMehu]

IT'S 2012 !

ALL YOUR CULTURES, RELIGIONS AND KNOWLEDGE ARE DEPRECATED !

WE OWN EARTH CORE !

WE'RE BACK BABY !

WOOOOOOOHOOOOO !

[MicheleWardark]

Amiga, the jewel running @ 7 MHz !!

[urikobb3]

Best Amiga game I had, spent hours of my childhood playing (and getting horribly destroyed) on this. Between this, Alien Breed 2 and Lotus Turbo Challenge I must've spent a stupid amount of time.

Absolutely love the Amiga.

[Maasaa2000]

Wer hält 2011 dem AMIGA noch die Treue ???

Ich bin dabei : )

[nr4o1981]

Yay love the music thanks

[Chromodar]

Full upgraded plasma + homing missiles + sideshot = win!

[schippox]

The game is so fucking hard....:-P.....but i love it.

[weaselfierce]

@schippox It was brutal enough they ended up releasing a "special edition" that was a bit easier :) Never beat that one either.

[HardwareHank02]

I heard this on a Tom's Hardware review!

[Leffe7809]

Used this song for a student, computer geek parade, we got a whole town going. Both old and young... it was as much as a surprise as a joy!

[nascar51523fan]

this music rules

[Chubywarrior]

Can i use this song for my self ?

[ShiryuGL]

@Chubywarrior Depends on what you wanna use it from. The composer is Allister Brimble.

[zakkattakk89]

@ShiryuGL I have always thought about producing a remix of this song, but then I listen to it again and realise that it can not be improved. The Amiga has such an amazing sound chip, leagues ahead of their competition.

[therealdealadam]

@Chubywarrior oh yes you can lol

[nicholasthetaylor]

@Chubywarrior Possibly. Don't just go ahead and use it though. Get in touch with Team17's support email and request written permission. All you need to do is explain what you want to use it for and they'll advise you of their policy. The game is very old, so you have an excellent chance of having permission granted.

[Alextelomena]

Avevo 2 casse enormi collegate al mio Amiga e questa musica sparata a manetta!!!

[sniffMaGusset]

HOOVER! WhatThe?

[PilgriMageNL80]

Awesome tune! Aaah Amiga..

PLAY LOUD!!!

[SandmanOz]

Such a great tune. Always amazes me what they were able to do within the limitations of the amiga hardware.

[Ezriel54]

Wow I just heard this on a website and instantly recognised it from around 15 years ago, I would have been about 5 or 6!

[suplaf]

awesome game, but so hard.. I never got more than a few minutes into level 3 :/

[IRRxerum525]

any mp3s available???

[cxPwNage]

@IRRxerum525 i have an mp3 on this if you still need it

[djrikki2008]

Check out the new amiga coming out very soon, just search: Amiga X1000 in your favourite search engine!

[allisterbrimble]

hehe brings back memories to see this again

[demoremda]

this was such a slick game, music graphs and game all great

[chrisplettucedood]

Team 17 were the very best software house for the Amiga. This and Alien Breed were my favourite games along with Supercars 1 & 2. The soundtrack to Project X is awesome, Allister Brimble is a god.

[darkaldo79]

B E A U T I F U L ! ! ! !

[Hyperpsycrow]

Here is what you need ;)

Try google this site

abandonia

[SeanTheMac]

You can find a lot of Amiga game images on the web. As to their legality, it's pretty much abandonware now but if you need to justify it only download games you actually paid for and no longer have the media?

[doctorbubble]

I'd forgotten what a good tune this is, just like Xenon 2. Both are rock-hard in difficulty and requires playing the hell out of it to beat it :)

[Davelopper]

allister brimble was a genius too:)

[eurominet]

@Davelopper

Bass sounds like cloned from "JK - You Make Me Feel Good" .. anyway

[andethan]

I don't think this game was winnable. I could get up to level 3 legit, but I cheated once, just to see what was past it. I got up to level 5, the boss and it was unkillable.

It had a shield and even when I flew through it, it couldn't be damaged.

Though maybe I had the wrong weapon, I was using plasma.

[ShadowriverUB]

Golden age of Team 17 :) then worms came and ruin everything :p

[Texy88]

Since Alien Breed resurfaced on XBox Live, this game should get a re-emergence -- with THIS music, of course! :)

[grumm70]

I got half way through level 4

Games to bloody hard but gave those in the day an advantage on these new gamers of today in my opinion

[gnomeuser]

I remember wasting countless hours of my childhood on that game, it was so hard and the music was haunting. Definitely on my AMIGA glory days top 10.

Thank you, this brings back memories.. also it reminds me that I am getting old but no matter. I am tempted to go dig up an emulator but where in the world would one acquire legal copies of the games these days, I know my childhood collection is all gone and frankly I don't even have a 3½" floppy drive anymore if I could find them.

[ShiryuGL]

@gnomeuser My pleasure. Please google for "Amiga Forever" , a legal emulation package for the Amiga. =)

[MetatroN197924]

@ShiryuGL .man this package is great but has only 100 games anyone know if exist other collection like this with ui.

[TheMetatron1979]

@ShiryuGL the package is great man but has only a few games of the amiga legacy 

[rvounik]

@gnomeuser uhm.. what does an Amiga cost these days.. Get an a1200 + harddrive for 100 Euro and you're playing all those classic games like they are meant to be played: on a Real Amiga. Oh and WHDLoad gets rid of annoying disk loading, too :)

[richardmaudsley77]

@gnomeuser What kind of melon cares about pirating games you have'nt been able to buy for 15 years?

[CmdrTobs]

@gnomeuser Why would you need 'legal' copies if admittedly owned them???

[maeltill]

@gnomeuser: you are not old/getting old, pff

[iainmclaughlan1975]

@gnomeuser You can get second hand Amigas on eBay. I still use my A600 I bought it in April 1994 and it is still the greatest computer, it is sitting here next to my PC. You can also buy Project X on eBay sometimes you need to check every few weeks for it to come up.

[SFXAlien]

I absolutely LOVE this piece music! One of my fave Amiga tunes. Another of my faves is 'The Great Bath' form turrican II.

[Urko2005]

Before windows, the whole computing scene had such a better feel.

Each machine had its own attributes, present day computing is so clinical in comparison to 25 or so years ago.

[ncry]

test

[ncry]

Remember the frustration i had with this game, it was incredible tough! If it wasnt for cheats i would never have beaten it :p

[Rendez333]

this is an awesome too epic to be contained in one location......youtube can do it though. Thats all i can say is that its epic.

[deslegumes]

hehe awsum! ;)(

remember I bought this on the amiga back in the early nineties (the special edition), had already played it of course and had a cracked one but eventually bought (almost) all the team17 games ;)

anyway i just looked in the manual for fun, and it just said "the planet ryxx is under attack of aliens - you must destroy them" (or something to that effect) haha simplicity is best! :P

[6xiongirl9]

great one, and hard... =D music is the best, just been missing these themes......

[spazztichead]

Like others have said, the graphics and music blew my mind when I first saw this on my much beloved Amiga 500. I must have been around 14 years old back then *sigh*.

Also remember never being able to make it past level 2, this game was manic!

[t4iSAbaKi]

Good times...

[ohfuku]

Best shoot em up of all time!!

[PlayerPoleThe]

Yes Right!!!:)

[kitekunisaki2000]

barry leitch is my hero :D

[JapStrangler]

The Special Edition on A1200...I still shit myself to this day...Someone should start making 'Migs again.

[richardmaudsley77]

@JapStrangler

They make the X1000, and all the next gen miggys. I don't like them because they are crap and overpriced (but i still bought one). The Natami and Minimig systems are epic though, you could call the first a "A5000" and the second a "A500 compact".

[bbrtki]

Some have.

And amiga-os still exists as well.

[HighTreason610]

This is what I think of when I think of computer game music!

Thanks so much for uploading it!

[mortundad]

Thanks to Allister Brimble for this incredible piece of music...

[TalosIIII]

Never thought i would hear this again!!!!!

Awesome times thanks for posting!!!!!

[Timsalt3100]

the other sad bit is many of the delevopers/Publishers no longer exist

Rainbow arts - gone to THQ

Core - Bought out by Eidos - Sold around the sametime as TRaider Legend was released ( evdient because TR Legend say's core design in intro)

but there is somegood though

DMA is now Rockstar north

Digital Ilusions still exists

Factor 5 is still around just smaller

Magnetic field is still going

Psygnosis is now owned by sony and under the name of studio liverpool

[Timsalt3100]

it's a shame really the amiga had a good run but it could have gone longer but the court cases by companies like apple commodore went bankcrupt the new company makes pc's not amiga's now

[bernhardweber]

thanks for uploading :)

great game from my younger times :)

[fallendarkest]

EPIC just dosent do this game justice, i completed it on my A1200 which was running though my hi-fi on a philips monitor. AWESOME and grounbreaking for the era. All team 17 do these days is b****y worms games. why cant they release special editions of their game on xbox live or the playstation network?

[bruceleo78]

mystique you mean psygnosis, not psychnosis...

[lordnipple]

Man.

Team 17 were THE developers on the Amiga.

Bitmap brothers did it right, Team 17 did it right and did it FASTER.

1994 was when it all started to die, I remember it well.

I still play Amiga games using Winuae emulator.

I loved this music so much, thanks for posting

[79mystique79]

yes, team 17 were the best.

i also liked games from psychnosis (lemmings, walker) digital illusions (pinball fantasies)

and EA (desert strike)

damn... i'm getting old :)

[D6Film]

The gameplay was also kewl there, that was the time of great productions.

[GenuineCoffee]

Epic music!

[DingKong]

Tough TOUGH game! Was a thing of beauty though...

[aschepersgmailcom]

Team 17 at the top of their game here, folks. Epic game, epic music, epic gameplay.

[toobias82]

fuck fuck fuck

[Pitereczek100]

Amiga was great . IT HAD EVEN A SMELL!!!

[brybish]

@Pitereczek100 yes hot!!!!! amigas rock!

[grapetonix]

@Pitereczek100 It indeed had, the plastic was of a complete different variety than used in today's PCs, giving off a characteristic fine bouquet especially when switched on.

[sklepgekon]

@Pitereczek100 everything was more intensive these days, when you were young. it's not magic of amiga, its magic of childhood. but regardless, the music is still awesome! i'll be playing it to my grandsons :)

[videogamefan199]

This music is......... AWESOME!!!!

[RonTaboga]

This song beeing so simple on the one side, is absolutely killing and one of the best rave, techno and dance tracks i heard so far. I sometimes just fired up the game to hear that awesome tune :)

[ElektroKit]

At last, new BattleSquadronRMX uploaded ;)

by ElektroKit

[NoqturnePL]

1:05 ... where have i seen that loading screen before?..... wait..... dammit it was in SUPER FROG :DDD Ahh I miss my A500+ ;_; Yeah I know there are emulators... but it's just not the same, you know?

[blade004]

You are still floating around qix77 !!!!, good to see, because i was starting to think you were dead or something!? ..lol Yeah as ceffydriver said, the Amiga was popular here in Australia but not overly so (more so in Europe) and the C64 was massive!!!, but i could never understand why many people went straight from the C64 to the PC and not the Amiga back in those days? The Amiga "was" advertised and was shown to be far more superior in EVERY respect, so go figure?!?!?

[ceffydriver]

have seen one MSX at an op shop! but thats about it! never seen one working mybe they wernt big here but C64's were! ive got a C64 emulator on my sony ericsson! acorns and atari st's where popular as school compuers

[ceffydriver]

yeah love UAE got heaps of ADF's (that I already own) wink wink were you ever big on frontier? the amiga wasnt so big here in australia but big enough for me to find a 500+ with k2.04 fatter agnus on the side of the road!!! someone through it out!! "thankyou mine!" oh yeah i'll post up a accapella thats on a doug laurent 12" its about the turrican

[JoeStephens78]

I remember watching this demo in my local computer shop in the early 90's. But it wasn't the game I was interested in, it was this absolutely amazing soundtrack that was blasting out of the speakers!. I must have paced up and down for ages, listening to it again and again. Was one of the reasons why I got an Amiga!.

[ceffydriver]

What? you havent played this? one of the best Amiga games out (in 91)lol, too bad we cant port SB2 the original over the net.

[hl2mukkel]

FTW

NIIICE

[Maasaa2000]

AMIGA FOREVER :)

[cokeCph]

Yes Amiga forever

[DJDiscDrive]

i remmeber this goes next to r-type2 and xenon 2 was best played with a sega megadrive pad for the extra button functions heh as it was tricky with a one button and keyboard and yes the pad was compatible :)

[diseasefaktory]

true, i used to play all the time with that pad, was amazed when i plugged it in by chance and it worked

[Ravenn266]

cheers for uploading, awesome awesome!

[neglesaks]

PS: Music artist for Team 17 was Allister Brimble.

As far as I'm concerned, he is the computer music God of all time.

[inferno7654]

Give a chance to the guy of Sensible Software, also :-)

[shatterhandbr83]

the Sensible Software guy was Richard Joseph, and he sadly passed a couple of years ago. He indeed was extremely talented. He also used to make the music for some Bitmap Brothers, and the James Pond games too.

Chris Huelsbeck is the computer music God of all time. But Allister Brimble is cool too :D

[Pszichopark]

I'am agree with you about Mr. Huelsbeck.:)

[basetarded]

I loved this game, I thought the intro scene withthe fighter flying towards the screen was the best graphics at the time.

[casperld]

AWESOME GAME. Team 17 were kings! (for a while :)

[slayer90k]

loved this game and loved the music.

[dadecountyblunts]

This song is killer, anyone know where i can get it. To me the midi music from games in the 90s is flat out some of the best music ever created.

[user2212345]

word!

[vicemanFIN]

Those are NOT midi musics, those are mods. And you can get mods from many games for example from Lemon Aminga site.

[vicemanFIN]

Those are not midi musics, those are mods. You can get musics from many games from Lemon Amiga site.

[Slaygen2]

@dadecountyblunts: you can extract this mp3 from this Youtube movie. Search on Google for "Youtube mp3 ripper". Or go to this website: vidtomp3..com

[cheekyegg]

cool game and the graphics were awesome. took ages to load though and disk swapping was a pain

[Jags1881]

Oh my god, its all comming back! My fave game for years. Just awesome! Theme music still does it for me

[Privatejoker88]

First time I heard this music was Christmas morning '94 (I think!). Good times!

[swooshzapas]

tengo los pelos de punta!!!

[spadget17]

Thanks everyone, it was a long time ago :-))

We did a sequel which was released via Ocean on Playstation in 1996 (Bjorn Lynne aka Dr.Awesome) did all the music for that. Capcom released it in Japan.

Cheers, Martyn/Team17 (who are still going fine, thanks!)

[KKBNorSKPC]

Hey Martyn B. The stuff you guys turned out for the Amiga was legendary. Alien Breed / Superfrog / Project X....awesome. C'mon how about getting the original team behind those classics together from some updated stuff of those franchises onto the PS3 / 360. That would make us oldies pretty happy :-)

[Agerasia]

Team 17= Awesomeness.

It's a great testament to the games makers that the games and indeed the intro's and songs have stood the test of time.

Catch me on EAB.

[flystatic]

Hey Spadge, Get Allister, Rico, Tobias etc together and produce X3! The demand is there!!

Respect

[ShiryuGL]

I have that game. Never finished it, was also hard as nails. Amazing music on that one, too. ^_^

[Joliie]

@spadget17 never played the game, but bought the cd X2 still rips the sub apart :-)

[Joliie]

@Joliie project x for the amiga tho was mind blowing.... I cant recall if I ever got the SE version, but at some point you just lost :) level 3 got me if I recall correctly..

[IntrinsicPalomides]

@spadget17 I still have disks from your 17-Bit Software PD house Martyn! :p

[DaytimeDreamer80]

@spadget17

You used to work @ Team17? You are one of my childhood heroes man ... man those games .... pure win!

[Syst3mSh0ck]

My dad was a master at this game, he completed it many times. The level with all the lava looks really cool, btw the Amiga had 4-channel 8-bit sound and 4096-colour depth palette when in HAM mode, whooo :D

[jimbopm12345]

What a great game and music! Memories come flooding back..... Amiga's rule man!

[sidewind69]

i agree.. tech limitations were awesome , i use to love making mods and squeezing the impossible! ;)

sidewinder

[EdOscuro]

Heh, lots of homages to other shmups in here...the credits screen reminds me of the title sequence from Truxton II. What year was this released?

[Agelis]

YUS! these tune was the bomb!

[EltaxBoy]

my god so many memories.. so many games played so many music listens amiga was the best computer ever made.

[Q3DM7]

great music. does not tommshardware use this for a clip?

[Tittlekopf]

Im sure it sounds greater on the Original Amiga Monitor.. but i like it to connect it to a Studio Monitor Speaker System

[5li3e]

project f was a project x style level on superfrog!!!

[5li3e]

remember project f ? ha,great music.team 17 were always flawless.memory lane

[djerniem]

Not heard this in years, brings back memories of a f***ing awsome game, Cool.

[Retroplay]

Team17 showed us how schmups was supposed to be done on Amiga with this one.

[alobalo1991]

Cool!
