"Your video, Maabus trailer, may have audio content from Think About The Way by Frisco vs Ice MC that is owned or licensed by UMG."

Well, that's a match! Sorry to the folks who can no longer view the video.

The trailer claims 2000 hours of music????? I played the game and it had no music beyond a short bit at the start. This trailer is almost more interesting than the game was.

[EdOscuro]

Not 2000 hours, but apparently "710 Hours of music selections" which apparently means that somebody listened to a lot of music and got paid for it! ;)

I guess the trailer's music is public domain or licensed, so...

Yeah, this trailer is more interesting than the game was. I remember poking around Softkey's Game Empire 2 disk and playing it. A bit of trivia - the first edition of Game Empire 2 had the full (not the shareware) version of Rise of the Triad on it. Someone goofed! Game Empire 2 also had a game written by me on it - "Darwin's Arena". A video ad for it is on my Youtube channel.

I had this game, it was just an ugly full motion Myst rip off with "push the correct button before the death animation starts" gameplay. Oh yeah, and there was a game killing bug where the bomb at the end of the game can't be defused. Something like that.

I have a weird nostalgia for this trailer though.

@sodakmonk HOLY FU*K (Hears about Full Version of ROTT being on that DAMN 2nd Volume Disc.

I remember when I was 8 in 2002 when I saw the Volume 1 SoftKey disc of Game Empire and a few years later I finally discovered a copy of Jazz Jackrabbit after getting internet access and after seeing it in the other titles screen in the Epic Pinball orderscreenXD

It was 2005 when I finally got Jazz Jackrabbit(Full Version including JJR2) and also when I discovered the magic of DOSBox

EdOscuro why is this a response video? It is nearly the same as the other video.

It would be super cool if someone could post actual gameplay footage,considering the trailer looks pretty cool.This brings back a lot of memories of the 90s!

good times!

You guys who say the graphics sucks are probably geeks.remember the year is 1994 and most of the games are either scrolling shooters or with block pixels and w/o the availability of today's advanced programs,graphics engines and computing ability.This is not myst and it does'nt try to be.Its more of a sci-fi game while myst is a fantasy setting.Game making was not more of an art back then.The coverpage artwork for the game looked very cool,when I saw it in computer world as a kid back in the 90s

I remember that one of my parents had bought this game for me (after I saw it advertised on that Game-Empire disc) but I misplaced this game so very long ago. But anyhow, thanks so very much for this video-trailer, I had thought about it from time to time in my mind and now I can live this anytime I desire to. The other thing I had been looking for for so very long was the introduction sequence for "Emperor of the Fading Suns", which was such a good video for it's time. I didn't really...

...knowing that there are like 7 Myst titles now (Myst, Riven: Sequel to Myst, Myst III, Myst IV, and then the spin-off Uru series with the "Path of the Shell" and another expansion pack, and I've only played a ll' bit of Myst III and non of Myst IV, but I've always been fond of the Myst series because I loved it when I was a kid and so it's like major nostalgia for me, and let me tell you what, listening to video-gaming music is the biggest nostalgia feeling ever, brings everything back.

[MuzicSoulWorldly]

Wow, I cannot believe how easily I found this video on YouTube. I believe that I searched for this video on here like a few years ago and nothing was found, but I had this on my mind today, and here it is. I couldn't seem to remember for sure which CD-ROM disc this trailer was on, but I vividly remember the music, it just seemed to fit very well with this trailer. I thought the game was good for it's time in 1995, and I have major nostalgia for Myst also, especially knowing that...

"I have a weird nostalgia for this trailer though."

Same here, and the game was really pretty bad, so I don't know why I have any fond memories of it, lol.
