These tunes bring me back to the time when (most) things were "well and good". And even if they weren't, I was certainly not the one to blame, anyway.
My sister and I loved playing this as kids, but it always pissed us off that our (Australian) anthem wasn't actually on there. I mean seriously, what is THAT about?
"advance australia fair" wasn't made the official national anthem until 1984, which means it's entirely possible this game might already have gone to press/packaging before then, or epyx just didn't know about it.
The "USSR anthem" featured in this clip is actually The Internationale, the anthem of international worker solidarity. It *was* the official anthem of the Soviet Union until 1945, when Stalin commissioned a new, more nationalistic anthem to inspire Russia to defeat the Teutonic hordes.
@chinkashh Is there any way you could get that song, or maybe post where it came from? I've been trying to remember the Epyx national anthem for over 10 years now. Those closest I've come to finding it was Estonia...and that was WAY off
NOTE: The danish one is not right. the song is (on english) king cristian stod at high mast. that isincorrect. the national arnthem of Denmark is(on english) There is a beautiful country. but nice video anyway!
Would also be great to listen all songs fully. Far as i know there isn't complete versions of these tunes. But if there is, please someone inform me too, thanks!
I still don't the usage of the Internationale as the U.S.S.R.'s national anthem...

WTF? Why is the Soviet anthem The Internationale? Granted, that was their anthem from 1917- 1944, but still. This was 1985!

Oh yea I knew there was another.
But then why did they use the pre-40's anthem in a game made in the 90's?

The Summer Game 2 of Apple II version has a country "Epyx".......-_-"

Yup, you're right, and so does C64. Although I left it out because it's not a real country. My apologies for those who wanted to hear it.

Awesome. Though I'm curious why they opted for the Internationale instead of the Soviet National Hymn (the proper national anthem) for the USSR.
