  • Only people who have never been tainted by new generation games may enjoy the majestic beauty of this first person adventure, most of us no doubt experienced this game in our early teens or throughout our childhood, we feel this great feeling of nostalgia, a great sense of emotion from the past, my brothers and or sisters...., imagine imagine!......................­............., i still carry this great sense of feeling when i hear this wonderfull music, may Christ be with you all brothers Amen!

  • Unreal Tournament 99 and 2k4 also kick ass :D

  • Unreal, Deus Ex, System Shock, Half-Life

    nothing further

  • freakin' goosebumps all over my back! nostalgia at 110%. THIS REMINDS ME WHAT WAS A GOOD FPS GAME USED TO BE

  • This is the greatest of the Unreal music thumbs up if you agree.

  • @mondayjoker Anybody noticed that they're all CYBERPUNK first person shooters, or futuristic fps? ;)

  • @Nastor1996 Wheel of Time wasn't all that good imho, though Hexen 2 and Thief might be the only mideval FPS that are really good... Or that even exist.

  • @ChromeBallz Theif was an extremely hard game, i could not figure it out for the life of me, but it was good, Nothing beats Unreal in FPS/adventure games with no cutsences or voices

  • Best soundtrack from Unreal...

  • this is the one..

    so many years in our hearts

    still beating as our hearts

    pure light in our mind

    LOVE UNREAL.. FOREVER

  • @proces23 If i had to journey through this game for real i would do it with someone like you

  • brings back memories...damn unreal was amazing

  • combat begins 2:35 

  • rhaaa god, how can this song remind me so good memories!!! the first level when we discover a strange planet and we have no Idea how we landed there!! we just arrive, and the atmosphere!! so.. powerful!.. I love this Unreal!!

  • Oh, the memories. My dad showing me this as a little kid, stepping out onto the planet, Fighting the Tentacle in the house, the first Brute, Finding diaries, jumping off the cliff (You have to do that at least once), and eventually finding your way to the end of the level.

  • Oh, I love this one :D

  • "The sound samples for Unreal were from a huge variety of sources but a good portion of them came from my Korg Trinity."

    These words were messaged to me from Alexander Brandon himself, the god... I mean musician who made this track when I asked him about his samples...... HE SPOKE TO ME!!!! ^_^!!!!! but yeah, thought y'all would be interested about the sound samples.

  • Nostalgic indeed;) very good track for this level exploring a strange alien planet...

    The first lesser brute encounter.

    A yes the memories.

  • i was about 8 or 9 years old, when me and my brother played it the whole day on my uncles pc... of course we weren't allowed to :D but it was fun... and still today i think it is one of the most creative and intelligent shooters ever. and of course, there are no games that got comparable soundtracks, except deus ex and NFS II and III... this music is just epic!

  • Best video game soundtrack of all time! Great atmosphere setter!

  • Check out my sampled dusk horizion hip hop beat on the responses!

  • best song for a video game ever

  • Bits of thie music reminds me of Deus Ex soundtrack

  • @solomonkain

    Correct, because its by the same composers, Alexander Brandon and Michiel van den Bos

  • @pbollgruen That explains that then ;) Thanks!

  • @solomonkain Because the composer is the same person!

  • first time i used the word awesome was when I played this game

  • I feel like a damn fossil.. I dearly miss those days of exploration in that wonderful world, with the awesome music, and Skaarj that fucking dodged your fire!!!

  • Deus ex

    System shock

    Half-life

    Metroid prime

    Mirrors edge

    Bioshock

    and Unreal....

    There are first person shooters, then there are first person adventures..

  • @mondayjoker half the things you named have soundtracks made by the same people lol, showing a correlation.

  • @mondayjoker What the fuck is Mirror's Edge (a shitfuck) doing there?

  • @mondayjoker Bro, Mirrors Edge modern shit.

  • @mondayjoker metroid prime lol

  • Unreal had chuck Norris as THE final boss, that's when he got his fame

  • @Hazelminker

    Uh, actually, have you ever wondered what the main male character is called? ...Just saying... He's the only human who survived out of that planet...

  • @kuranorppa

    If you go by the "story", then the PC was female.

    But really, the main character doesn't have a name. YOU are the main character, so everything is up to you. The character models have names, like Dante or Ash, but they don't really count.

    Return to Na-Pali kinda ruined it by making your character speak.

  • @kuranorppa What are you talking about main male char? the guy with the black pony tail?

  • Skaarj > Necris

  • Comment removed

  • so much hours plain , the music still awesome

  • We need more people playing this wonderful game!

  • mouhaga

  • I've been playing this game for 7 years straight now. It never gets old. Too bad I met it in 2004...

  • i am looking for a specific song. i think it plays when you fight enemys...not sure though. it is fast and catchy

  • one person fell into the chasm

  • @KirbyY15 lol ironicly not many would understand this joke.

  • Unreal may not be the game with the bast graphics anymore. But at the time of release, it was light years ahead of its time.

    And on a more personal note: this game is what the name implies, Unreal. Not one game after this one, came close to experience this one made. Therefore I wish to thank the creators of Unreal, for doing the incredible work and producing the unreal. I still have the game, and I still love playing it.

  • @angband84 I would have to agree, no game has EVER topped Unreal, not even todays standards of graphics. No game compares to the awesomeness of feeling lost, lonely and trying fight for your life all the while trying to get off the planet.

  • Perhaps the best adventure game I've ever played, along with Na Pali expansion. it was almost dream like, one minute you're in an ancient arena fighting a Titan, then walk down a valley to find a spaceship! I loved how the journey twisted and turned

  • I am hear it, And i am cryed so much nostalgic things in my head in my blood. I can't.

    I want new Unreal = Sequel/prequel to Unreal 1 the most awesome game ever

  • When I entered the world of Unreal for the first time, saw the landscape and felt the atmosphere, I thought "Now it begins, it all starts here. This will be the best adventure I've ever experienced".

  • played this game at a lan club for my birthday with friends when it came out, bought it the next week at the mall, blown away. still in love with SkyTown.

  • I have to say that I'm very upset that I didn't know about this game back when I used to play Unreal Tournament on my iMac back in 2000. I played Unreal on my G4 tower in Classic a few months ago for the first time. The music was incredible to me. It was truly fitting with the first area. Then around 2:30 the music reminded me of Underworld II (DOM-Sesmar song) from UT99 while I was getting chased and shot at by these big, scary Na Pali guardians. Shame they don't make games this good anymore...

  • @Gam0rDude Game0rDude, i'm 14 years old

    Those "poor" boys that can't appreciate Unreal sagas, or Deus Ex, or Oblivion, Fallout 3 Sagas. . .they're gone.

  • Despite that nothing serious happens exiting Vortex Rikers, because of this song that moment is as unforgettable as when you entering the Dark Arena level or face the Titan boss.

  • Birds singing ... that lovely nali rabbits criing ... clear blue sky ... the vision of freedom and beauty on a totally alien planet ...but wait ... what is that confusing feeling in your stomach? what do you even afraid of? The unknown? Eh. Atmosphere indescribable. The sight. The sound. Masterpiece, the game and the music alike.

  • I first played this game in 2008. And sucked. I was spoiled by easy modern shooters.

    I didn't like it, I was spoiled by pretty modern shooters.

    After 2 years of practice I started it again. LOVING IT, ROCKING IT!

    I was born in 94, AKA too damn late.

  • I started playing this again the other day. Hard to believe its so old.

    Ahh, the golden age of gaming :)

  • One of the best games I've ever played, brilliant in every single way, and that piece proves it. Many thx for posting it.

  • I still play this game im 15 and i started back when i was 5, man i love this game, if some 1 still have it come play online there are alot servers :) well if any 1 cares my name at unreal is Depredador-(DOG)-

  • I think its the instrumentals, the unique sounds old computer could generate that is making the songs so much better then todays gaming music.

  • best sounds ever

  • Amazing how one piece of music can snap you right back to childhood! haha....i must have played this when i was 12 years old and i still remember it clearly......Christ im getting old!

  • 1:32 - 1:55....

    but the whole track is perfect anyway

  • This has got to be the best composed sound track for setting the scene of any video game to be released. Simply amazing!

  • Who the FUCK thumb downed this song??? :O

  • @bdude92

    someone who is afraid of creativity...

  • @bdude92 Somebody who's gonna get placed in an arena, one-man team against a135-team.

    HE WILL NOT SURVIVE.

  • buah!!me encanta esta cancion, joder si que es buena!!!y el juego una pasada!!!

  • Good to be out of that ship. oh hey, what's in that house over there?..

  • Man i love this game so much. FPS games like this, UT99, Half-life, Deus Ex, ect.. are legends. I'd recommend playing this and UT99 baked because it feels sooo much more real and amazing. It's like actually being there. And it already feels like that sober. ;) But when i heard this tune i felt freedom, beauty in all its glory, peace, sadness, curiosity, and loneliness. Just epic.

  • Comment removed

  • The part from 1:32 stuck with me for over 10 years. I'm not even sure who composed this song. I think it was Vangelis.

  • @hellmagefire

    Nop it was Alexander Brandon and Michiel van den Bos with a few selected tracks by Dan Gardopée and Andrew Sega .

    Completely uknown artists but the music is like Vangelis or JMJarre

  • @vnikosv Thanks, I'll look for it. Wouldn't know the name of the song and make it easier for me?

  • @hellmagefire

    Well , there's a CD called Original Soundtrack from the Hit Game Unreal and the song is Dusk Horizon .

  • Epic!

  • Exiting the Vortex Riders was an amazing and memorable part of Unreal. The only games to rival the feeling of suspense and awe in Unreal for me was escaping the hospital in Afraid of Monsters: DC and the pompeii level in Darkest of Days.

  • omg just hearing this again is giving me a weird chill. haven't loved a game that much ever since.

  • The minute I stepped off the Vortex Rikers, I knew this was going to be different. I wasn't just playing a game... I was entering a new world. No other game before or since has had that same effect on me.

  • @theonetruekeeper: DeusEx was the second one giving me that feeling. Oh, and Half-Life/Half-Life2.

  • @albedoshader true that.

  • Outstanding track! One of my favorites in gaming.

  • This is the best track in Unreal. Shivers went over me, when i just listened to this tune, remembering, how it was to start exploration of that alien planet.

    I remember, that i listened to this track over and over... Its perfect!

  • THIS GAME IS FUCKING AWESOME. Iremeber when i was kid and my bad buy it and we play it.

  • I still remember everything from Unreal, even though when it came out and I got it I was 4. I'm only just officially allowed to play 2k4, and even I get nostalgic!

  • best synthezied music ive heard in all video games

  • damn i remember playing this game years ago it had a big Impact on my childhood. it would be awesome if Microsoft would bring this back on live for arcades.

  • unreal had one of the biggest impacts on the shooter world imho. the game was just perfect, from the first second to the final fight.

    it was just such a perfect world, everything was fitting. i remember watching the flight around the nali castle for prolly an hour one day before i even loaded my savegame.

    not to mention it had coop (patched, but who cares...?)

    somewhere in my musicfolder i have unreal music slumbering that i exported with the editor :)

    on that note... reinstalling :P

  • Fuck good graphics.

  • i just realized i have to put this back on meh computer and play it O_O

  • prisoner 8409 will never be forgotten for his bravery....but what i want to know is why was he a prisoner to begin with?

    what did he do?

  • This music really helps the story along...it's positive and sad at the same time.

    Most of the Vortex Rikers crew are dead...yet the ship couldn't have crash-landed in a more beautiful location.

    What a game.

  • This music really helps the story along...it's positive and sad at the same time.

    What a game.

  • This song does bring back a fond memory of exiting the ship. I've never actually finished the game since I get bored every time I play, but I love it anyway. Great game.

  • I remembered a part of this level where the lights turns off in a corridor and we had to run away from that 'big thing', very afraid.

  • Did the word "Epic" come from Unreal or was it known ever before ?

  • Epic wasn't even in the dictionary before Unreal came along lol

  • good one :D

  • @7eki

    Well, when the company that made the game is named EPIC GAMES, I guess you know what to expect...

  • @Gunner193 It's just a shame they dropped it from "Epic Megagames" some time after the first Unreal game.

  • @7eki the word "Epic" wasn't invented until Unreal was made by Epic Games.

  • this music just brings back so many memories, the aura created by this game trapped you in it. Awesome stuff

  • This brings the most beautiful memories i could ever conceive.

  • Favourite piece of the game. No Contest. I can still remember the first time I saw this scene. I ran out of the Vortex Rikers and hung a left. I got to the edge of the cliff, and saw the waterfall at the exact time the "swell" starts (0:12, i don't think that's a coincidence. :-)). I took one look, and I was like wow, Wow, WOW! That's when Unreal won me over, and it's been my favourite game ever since. Everything else gets to squabble about 2nd and 3rd place. :-)

  • Yeah, that and when you go down that long hallway. You push a button and it gets all quiet...then the lights start flicking off one by one...until one of those Skarj (If i remember right) comes out of the wall and attacks you!

    Awesome game :)

  • I love this game. I still play it today. I will remember this game forever. Unreal is a masterpiece. I used to play multiplayer with my friend and we stayed up ALL night playing coop multiplayer. It was great. I wish more people would play it.

  • i agree its such a shame hardly any one does :(

    you k now there is high resoultion textures available for it now right :) it looks so much nicer :D

  • 2:29 Best part!

  • Checc out my sampled beat on this on my channel

    dusk horizon is my fave off tha unreal soundtracc

  • whenever i listened to this one i always thought it sounded apocalyptic, like civilization was on the brink of destruction or something.

  • and doom 1+2

  • gaming is dead and shit now, I thought this was obvious

  • After spending time scavenging the remains of temporary human camp for supplies I take the elevator to the bottom portion of the map. The minute I set foot around the next corner my first combat encounter, a brute. Man EPIC sure as hell back then knew how to set the tone of combat and scenery. I want them back or at the very least give us a GRAPHICALLY Enhanced remake of this, especially the coop-mission portion for this.

    Until then... PLAYERSONLY

  • Oh btw, if yall want to find unreal anthology, they will be selling it at a place called "Frys" { computer software/store company} if yall live rite near it or u can just do it the easy way { internet...}

  • Wow, i never knew how in the last 3 months of how older games seemed appealing and more addicting than the shitty games that are out there like Fracture, F.e.a.r P.M. { series,} and Combat Arms.... Iam still a kid, and i do like these games like UT,MDK2,and Death trap dungeon... The only thing that some companys are too lazy about is remaking the games with graphics.. I will try this game some day when i get unreal anthology, and man, old skool games rules the most, but today's games drool!@! [=

  • Agree! Old games is GAMES! Modern games is virtual reality((( i dont like it(((

  • never leaves my mind use to play this game when i was a kid next to mech warrior:D this brings back alot of memries playing Lans and such i love this game and i will never forget it.i wish i could get it agine i miss it everyday.

  • I remember exiting the Vortex Rikers feeling so confused as to what was happening. Where was I? Where was everyone else? and then all those feelings disappeared as I turned my view upwards (0:12), eyes widening, to see gaming beauty at it's finest. A blue sky with clouds gently panning, hearing birds in the distance and behemoth stone walls encircling and the gentle white noise of a waterfall nearby. I set forth on my adventure within Unreal 11 years ago, and nothing has topped it since.

  • @enarhk nice post

  • blame Canada :D

  • Nowadays they put extreme attention to super hiper graphic effects but forget about triggering OUR IMAGINATION by GOOD music like Unreal 1 had. When i heard the beginning of this soundtrack i thought: "I just went outside, let's take a look at the sky" !!! :D

  • they use their imagination now and dont let you use yours unlike unreal.

  • Man, this song has such a feel of... accomplishing something! To finally emerge from that giant ship that imprisoned you to explore a vast planet. Without this song it wouldn't have been as mesmerizing and breathtaking the first time you played. It's as if it captures the story of the world and tells it in this song.

  • Thanks, This is my one of my favorite songs in the game. I remember getting out of that cave into and hearing this music while seeing the mountains in the background and the dark blue sky it was awesome.

  • LOL I am a kid and I play UT 99 Unreal and Duke Nukem love older games better than new games.

  • It definitely shows that you have good taste =P

  • haha, Me too ;)

    may unreal live for ever.

  • @DeathPenguin1000 Im in my teens and since I was a kid I played stuff like Unreal, Everquest the good old games, I like to collect most of the series sometimes :P

  • @DeathPenguin1000 the thing is your a kid, but you're not a "Console-Tard"

    please, help rescue these poor children from their own famine of gaming. Rip them off their console, plop them down next to a pc, and make them play, deus ex, baldurs gate, morrowind, daggerfall, fallout 1-2, and last but not least.....

    UNREAL

  • @Gam0rDude Don't forget UT99! :D

  • man, i remember getting out of the ship, two strange suns in the sky, the cry of the birds, that little rabbit thing, the hut , the fishes, the waterfall, everybody knows.., greatest moments in gaming. kids dont know what they are losing with the crap that comes out these days.

  • I'm with you on that, I can still remember the feeling. No such moments in today's games. And the music, fantastic!

  • glad im not the only one... most games of today are so generic. There are only a few games with so much atmosphere as unreal. The music did so much to the imagination!

  • Today's games don't focus on beautiful atmosphere anymore... Unreal was one of a kind even amongst older games.

  • You are goddamn RIGHT !!!

    I had exactly same feelings :D

  • It's definitely one of if not the most sensational/starkly emotional games I've ever played, and the 2nd level was a great example of that. Nothing like crawling from the wreckage to take in the beautiful scenery, approaching a mining cave with flickering lights, dead bodies, and distant screams, rounding the corner, and then having the music panic as this big hulk-like creature with two rocket launchers smashes a guy against the wall, blows him to bits, and runs at you. Class.

  • HEY i am one of thus kids :D

    and i am completly on your opinion ^^ all this shit like modernwarfare *hurl*

    Greetings from Germany ...

  • @Atrahasis7 seriously, please don't generalise, not all 'kids' these days play 'crap' new games, and some of the new games are the UT of this generation.

  • @Atrahasis7 i feel you bro

  • @Atrahasis7 that`s an amen bro. still play Infiltration Coop with unreal Maps. hell, and those single player mods that came out.....Illhaven Saga, Shamuquest, Towers of Shrakita....wonderful

  • @Atrahasis7

    I find there is a depressing lack of wonderment in FPS games today. The closest thing I've come to the Unreal experience recently would have to be Borderlands. That sounds a bit odd, but I honestly I think they crafted a coherent and interesting place that made me want to jump the invisible borders and just go exploring...

  • @goldsak actually Borderlands felt more like Fallout 3. That's just me though.

    To me the closest games to Unreal/RTNP were Mass Effect 1 and 2. I enjoyed the exploration of planets in ME1, and that map in ME2 with the burning red giant star where you rescue Tali, as well as the Normandy crash site (sorry for spoiler if yoyu didn't play it).

  • @zevsmd

    I can't say I've played Mass Effect. I'll have to give them a shot. _b

    I found Fallout 3 a bit bland and depressing actually... lol

  • Said like a poet. But the only part I did not like was the last sentence.

  • @Atrahasis7

    damn i still see that in my head sometimes, just so epic...nothing out nowadays FELT so alien as the bluff in the 2nd level.

  • @Atrahasis7 Totally agree. This moment in my hart

  • @Atrahasis7

    UT 99 and 2004 arent bad at all

    ut 3 = cow pie

  • thes musik is from Unreal not from a movie ther is patent on 1

  • This music is perfect for the level.

  • This game was awesome! I loved the way u came out of the crashed spaceship and the music changed when the world opened up! Epic!! XD

  • that was the best part of the game! Apart from killing the queen.

  • Haven't played the game (will get the Anthology eventually) but this song blew me away.

    I fucking love it.

  • summon nalipriest

    great theme

  • 2:33 i love this part when you come a cross a corner and a body get's tossed at the wall and blown up. and that creepy rocket monster comes round the next hall. classic unreal

  • its perfect. one of the best games ever

  • it's old enough to be redone with a new engine, I think!

    (and some changes so that original unreal-fans find some new stuff ;) )

  • i think so too.. would be awesome.. like same game, but new graphs and that

  • Doesn't from 0:58 - 1:06 remind you of the Halloween horror movie theme song?

  • there is a lot of music from movies in unreal's soundtrack
