The Music of Video Games [08] Platoon

commodore 64 version is better in the sound department

I never managed to pass the first stage in this game. It is a fucking maze!!

Annoying game, but terrific music (title and first level tune). Someone please upload the whole first level tune - it goes on for quite some time.

I've never understood why developers would make a game based on the Vietnam War. Movies I can understand, but why would you want to play as a soldier going through the hell that those men went through? Meh..

Anyways, the music in this game is pretty damn good considering the gameplay appears to be a lot of monotonous garbage.

because you can have fun winning without getting your face blown off.

The Angry Video Game Nerd couldn't have said it better... Oh wait, he did.

i love this music. it manages to be both relaxing and exciting at the same time, know what i mean? it's not to loud or harsh, but it makes you feel a great feeling of suspense.

i hope whoever composed this is still making music for video games. :)

for as good as the music and opening movie are the gameplay is complete shit. Not including at least a map for a game like this makes it impossible without help. I've never met anybody who beat this game without another person's help, nintendo power or the internet. And even then it's 50% luck.

Oh god...when I had heard mention of this game in various places, I couldn't remember it. Then I come to this video and see the gameplay, and all the horrible memories come flooding back. I despised this game when I was little...

Great music, though.
