Amiga - Lotus III music tracks (part 1/2)

[aY227]

3:05 - track 2

6:35 - track 3

[TimmehJC]

I had this game and somehow it was glitched so only track 3 would play. So it was awesome :)

[kapone2k]

looovd this game as a kid.. i took out my old amiga 600 yesterday and connected it. everything works. i find the discs too this game and when i start ofc you needed the handbook too enter a random word as a check that i bought the game -.- that was as far i got too play best game from childhood

[xinijxt]

Track 1 sounds a bit inspired by Zoolook by Jarre...

[ebastianlar718s]

I want this video on my P835 unit.

[cannyfocus]

The audio quality of the player you might have used is not very good, sounds almost like it is recorded with a microphone from the outside. btw. I'm going to record many tunes directly from my org. '87 Amiga 500 (a good sounding one, I know later Amigas sound more sharp because of no kind of that bass-filter the A500 had, but I like the sound-output of some of my A500s a bit better than the one of my A1200 for example) and will probably upload that recorded stuff at some time in the future.

[pacquiaovsmarquezIV]

This video went viral on Ethiopia

[TheCharette]

Seriously I never played a game giving me so much feeling than this game. The music, everything was so great in this game !! I was 5 or 6 when playing that but omg, sometimes I just install an amiga emulator and spend some time on that, remembering how great it was back then. :D

[j00ztube]

Track 2 sounds like Nutbush City Limits. :)

[Konglyhne]

Put in floppydisc - change to track #3 - race all fucking day... Good old days :)

[TheUltarus]

track 3, It doesn't matter if it is 8-bit,16-bit.... Awesome!

[ghostsignal]

There's nothing worse than staring at the face of a cd player and knowing you can't change the track.

[Jeglorz]

Track 3 Best Song ever in a race game :D

[barerobert]

Watched it in 240p to make it more authentic...

[ElectronicMusican]

When I brought this game the first thing I did was play all these tracks on my zi-fi speakers at full pelt...think I played the game after about 3-4 hours.

[JamesH1981]

Love track 2, very similar to the Zool music which I also love!

[20windfisch11]

I switched from the Amiga to the PC in the mid of the 90s, so I had both versions of the game, and I was shocked how bad the PC version sounded compared to the Amiga version. I also remember playing it on the 286s we had at school and it was way more choppy than on the 7MHz Amiga 500...

[MissVeyron]

=O track 3! so many good memories from amiga like this, titus and desert strike . .

thanks so much for uploading!

[gabrielczak]

:) best

[da0x]

great blast from the past!

[Pavouk106]

It is very strange that I still remember this tune (track 3), because I played Lotus 3 in fourth class. That means I was about 10, that means almost 15 years ago. And I still remember it and love it.

[piripirifox]

floppy disk loads faster than compact disc :-D

[Asikokos]

3 track winszuje!

Tyle godzin co ja w tą gierkę grałam, wspomnienia tego bezcenne :))

[Mongol20]

Jaguar XJ220 had a lot better soundtrack :P but anyway this game and music was also cool :)

[Zontar82]

loved to play the first trackon the night or the futuristic courses

[bnzo00]

track 3 = PURE WIN!

[KubaPSP]

Even through I'm OPL3 and DOS fan, I have to say that Amiga version is lot of better... too bad the game is little bit slow on original Amiga 500 :(

[sybnios]

TRACK 3 is BAD ASS!!! Even though I am a SEGA and console lover dude I must say that Amiga is Legendary!!!

[wigstonmagnificent]

Has anyone got the Lotus III track that was also the theme tune to Zool to upload?

[maikonauta]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAN THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!! you got to love track 3, I am really crying! so many days lost in front of that game

[sybnios]

@maikonauta Days in front of videogames like these are not lost dude but magically living the experience! =) 2D refuses to die!

[maikonauta]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAN THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!

[ElectricSmell]

Bloody good job mate, brings back the joy I had when I came home from school to my Amiga :) ages ago but doesn't time fly! :)

[coyran]

As good as this sounds, for nostalgia purposes I prefer the sound blaster version.

[laughingfurry]

@coyran

Sound Blaster makes everything awesome. Way back, a friend of mine had a really sick setup on his PC with Sound Blaster. Even something weak sounding like Megaman X DOS sounded boss on it. If only I have that setup. At least stuff like this don't need high quality audio output.

[doritostheking]

@coyran That's strange. I mean if you're nostalgic about the soundblaster version, doesn't that mean your parents got you a PC? I just can't understand how you have happy memories of such barbaric child abuse.

[coyran]

@doritostheking

Yes, my parents got me a PC and I did not feel abused by the idea. Amigas were cool and I even owned one, but a 7MHz processor probably didnt handle Doom or Quake very well.

[doritostheking]

@coyran Only very old model amigas had 7Mhz processors. Early as 1988 you could buy 16Mhz amigas, by 1990 there were 25Mhz amigas.

[coyran]

@doritostheking

Perhaps, but I stand by my decision. Doom, Quake, Wing Commander and of course Lotus 3 on my 486. Ahh great days!

[gambar]

@doritostheking unfortunately, it wasn't just about the CPU clock mate - even my 50MHz 030 CPU could not handle Z-Doom without a video card...Amiga's gfx chipset lacked a proper c2p support :-(

[doritostheking]

@gambar Erm, yeah it was. C2P can be handled entirely by software. Ask anyone with an 040 for a demonstration.

[gambar]

@doritostheking yup, I know, I was just trying to point out that the software handling needed too much CPU power... way tooo much even for the 040 - I know I could play Doom in a normal resolution in 20+ fps - but it took the PowerPC version to be able to play it in a higher resolution

[doritostheking]

@gambar Saying it's too much for the 040 because it won't do an above normal resolution is like saying a yaris isn't enough to commute in because it won't pull three trailers as well.

Fact is that an 040 is enough to get doom running at 25fps at the resolution the game was designed for, even without chunky graphics hardware. End of.

[worazz]

turpentine was for LOTUS 2, not 3 :DDD

[1devo6587]

this sounds like an art of noise song

[Datomz83]

mannnnn just had a long chat with my uncle about the good old amiga times.... damn how I missed them... this soundtrack really takes me way back.

[xalalalala]

TURPENTINE!!!! :P

[BennyTheGun]

WOOOOOOOOOW !!! that remind me the good times, when i was a little boy !?!?!?! thats a CRYZY feeling!! how the time rush ?!?!thank you so much for upload this man....!!!

PEACE

[NEOoOoOoOoOo1]

thanks man . this was great . this game was in the old time like need for speed now . and the tracks are so cool and great .

[djrikki2008]

Yeah I agree with many, track 3 is so memorable :) Track 1 has been remixed several times in the past, phoenixconsole often uses it to promote AMC... check it out: v=W2ok11RnmwM

[alpishefic]

thank you so much:))) I've been looking for these tracks for 10

years...

[thedeadone1986]

The theme music from 6:40 onwards, is superb. :-)

[BeholdMyStrength]

I'd swear I've heard Track 2 from somewhere else before.....Sounds rather 1080 Snowboarding-ish?

[Jutrzen]

@nexxogen Thumbs down.

[TheJamesFive]

EPIC!!! My vote is on track 3 ( as all you other Amigians :D )

[Greenbaumberg1]

party starts at 6:40 :D

[pipacsember]

one of my first games in pc from 1996 :) happiness is spreading in my body. Best: 3.track

[pipacsember]

one of my first games in pc from 1996 :) happiness is spreading in my body

[Sjrsz]

I loved this game when I was young!

[Nhirlathothep]

no love for track 1

[Antireak]

14/15 years ago, I heard this for the last time. But Track #3 is so distinctive that it gives me still the creeps today! Thanks for uploading these memories!

[mephisto40]

Track 3 kills the rest, awesome song!

[kapone2k]

@mephisto40 Gave me shivies like it did back then ^^ damn i miss this game

[kicknetik]

This first song has been remixed for the menu of Top Gear 2 !

[kicknetik]

wow the track number 3 sounds so much like top gear on the snes we can't deny it's the same composer

thanks for sharing !

[Wartechie]

Track 3 brings back memories, godly game, godly tunes

[rosenscharf]

I think the theme from Lotus Turbo Challenge II beats them all.

[Blacktronics]

@rosenscharf

Agreed

[Jouflay]

Nice # 3 Track ))))) Вспоминается сразу детство . .. Ееееее )

[PirateDen89]

@Jouflay лучший саундтрек в amiga) Тоже воспоминания детства у меня.

[SobmicSSBB]

I was 6 back when I first played this game.

8:42 was the first time when I noticed how awesome video game music really can be.

[Jacobart1]

I had this game on my first computer with Dos operating system, I had so much fun with selecting music and next drive. That was great game, I miss it.

Thank you for posting, it brings beautiful memories :)

[b0gster]

Track 3 is my all time favorite video game tune! \m/

[SquallLeon81]

I love track 2 because it fits perfectly when you run with your car

[maveruccio]

track 3 <3 :D

[pasty2k2]

Someone please learn and somehow perform track 2 live on guitar! Its called Metal Machine, and needs to be done, or is it too epic for real instruments?!

[Dravensdmf]

@pasty2k2

its pretty easy. if i ever get the time ill record it but dont hold your breath

[Dravensdmf]

@pasty2k2 except the solo which is nails but possible for a good player

[pasty2k2]

@Dravensdmf Thats exactly the bit I NEED to hear in its full glory!

[JesperKyd47]

** 90's **

[fourbarposer]

What's up with the sound quality in this video, this is nowhere close to what it really sounds like. Check watch v=nTz5iwmtkrs starting from 1:19 to get some idea. It's pretty close as far as I can go from memory.

[PituDitu]

They used the same sound set Jazz Jackrabbit had. I gues it contains its own style. Feel the Beat!!

[deizi1]

i've alwayas liked tracks 2 and 3

[Vanqueesh]

i'm listening and i'm going back to my childhood... awesome music awesome times

[sukumar2000]

Track 2 is awsome!!

[flexlex12]

[84sindaco]

[RafaeINadal]

[RafaeINadal]

@elspojlero a flying saucer...mmmm...makes my think of food

[kajikoff]

I got to this game on PC only.. I loved track 6 from that small PC Speaker :).. It sounds much better like this, then on PC Speaker or SoundBlaster anyway..

[mikosoft]

I always liked all the tracks but I only ever got to hear them on PC with AdLib

[Jarlve]

Track 3 made my day!

[nutellajunkie]

[RidgeJaggers]

Does any1 know what music program this was made on I still have my amiga 600 and would luv to make some tunes on it

[MelodeeStation]

@RidgeJaggers

It was probably done with Protracker, or a similar programme.

[Apocalyptiq]

@RidgeJaggers some tracker, probably SoundTracker

[Blue206CC]

sound on this game was fantastic indeed! especially this track! Amiga 500 forever!

[ceffydriver]

[p2klan]

[Leimyu]

THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES CAN LICK MY BALLS!

[Luhaja]

I already have it... MWUAHAHHAHAAH... I just used winamp to turn a .mod file of it into wave the reincoded it with lame - if you were playing games back then then you should know how to do this :P

[ShayningTV]

Lotus 3 music is excellent! I like it so much! I can't agree more about the bass in the intro track, check out my remix for this version on my profile

[Banzeken]

The killer-bass on the first track totally makes it my personal favorite! I tried to like the other tracks, I succeded, but in the end... it doesn't really matter, all tracks have their own unique character :P

Nice upload! 5 stars...

[Kosmiker]

After all these years and track 3 still pwns my inner senses!

5*

[Doober717]

track 3 is the shit, it's even more amazing on the sega gen's but on sega it's track 4

[oldskooljunkeee]

[basilrush77]

I was always a big fan of track 2, but track 3 is the bollocks, they don't make tunes like this anymore for games.

[Vanqueesh]

[Mumblebee]

Haha, word.

[OCCASVS]

Does anybody like track 1? I think it's brilliant!

[OCCASVS]

1:46 ~ 2:03 this is epic :)

[Lutherro]

take a look at Breathless (Daxx remix) it's much more brilliant bro! :P

[yendor79]

@OCCASVS I completely agree, pity I don't know of any higher quality version of this track.

[ScaniaFung]

@OCCASVS my sister love it so much, & this is the only racing she can faster than me

[Lasermannen]

Who wrote the music for the Lotus games?

[ncgqprophet]

If you don't know it yet, check amigaremix(dot)com. Search for 'lotus III", there are some great remixes there. Especially the ones by daXX, the guy is a musical genius.

[egretdingo]

Track 3 is the intro theme iirc.

[phuturexy]

track 3 would be awesome for guitar hero

[grasshoper11]

i want to have this cd in my car :D

[boygenius7]

@grasshoper11 no shyt man I need it in car 2. I can see me now flyin down 95 south with this in the player lol.

[vicemanFIN]

@grasshoper11 and then you start getting tickets :D

[chukymaster]

@grasshoper11

So simply use a online youtube to mp3 converter and separate the tracks with an audio editor, then burn em on a cd.

[nitelifer69]

@grasshoper11 convet to mp3 hehe

[ksiazeKaspian]

Amiga 500! Yeah! That's it! I loved this game and this computer!

[des9808]
