I thought this introduction was exclusive to the pc engine because I never saw it appear on any other game console..

I just noticed this intro also appears on the Amiga version!

Music is by Rob Hubbard, but again the pc engine version on the whole is re worked by Hudson soft staff.

I love this music especially that bass on those medievil drum samples! Personally out of all the console versions I like the pc engine intro music the most but maybe I'm just biased!

Incidentally this was one and perhaps the only HUcard game to have backup ram but even today I still don't quite know how to access it by just using the bare basic console! :o

I think Rob Hubbard did some C64 music aswell.

Also, didnt the Street Fighter II Hu Card have backup RAM? Its a fatter card, like Populous.

the SFII HUcard i'm pretty sure it don't have back up RAM.. that extra size is just for a few extra electronic chips to hold the extra data since its the largest HUcard size around at that time. and I think Rob did do c64 music as i'm sure I had some of his games back then on the commodore 64 computer.

I too liked the amiga song version 1000 years ago. Now when I was retrospecting and found the original song, well it was a little dissappointment. Anyone done a remix of this song? Would love to hear it. :)

I still have the Amiga version on Disk including the original box etc :) It's almost in mint condition still. Luckily i still have 3 Amigas on which to play it too :D

very true. the sound of the wind blowing, the clang of the anvil... very Bronze-Age.

The Amiga version had much better sound. The intro music was just plain spooky.

It was originally on the Amiga and Atari ST..
