OMG DESCENT!
This music is the PSX/Mac version.
The PC version had MIDI tracks. Some of them are better than the CD tracks but they're all good nonetheless.
I have the Definitive collection for PC and the PSX version of D1.

And yeah, I used to play this all the time when i was little too. I remember those green scratchies always scaring the shit outta me.

I really like the industrial space funk thing they've done to the original tracks.

@Szederp It's from the PS1 version. Mostly the same tunes as the DOS version, just re-recorded by some session musicians. Doom on the 3DO has a similar treatment done to its tracks.

strange hearing it now. very nostalgic

@MoreKogz This is correct. There was the PSX version, the PC version and the Mac version. All versions had different soundtrack scores.

Wow, whoever played this run through made Descent look like a real art form. I LOVE Descent and I could speed through mines, but this is absolutely gorgeous.
-
@Szederp Differnt versions seemed to have differnt sound tracks. the music here was in the version I played.

@garudoh do you know where you can get you hands on a copy of this game. I had it was back when. I also do you know how one might go about getting the soundtrack?

@vio21127, it's an opinion. I feel that the midi music is quite fitting, and the fact that is artificially created actually adds to the game...in my opinion.

@eddie20haskell Wrong. This music beats the crappy MIDI music in every way possible. In fact, I still remember my friend getting mad at me having this music when his version didn't. Back in the 90s he had a PC while I had a Mac.

i remember a game similar to this called "Forsaken", was able to play these games when I was young, but looking at the graphics and motion movement of the game now makes me so nauseous.
I thought there was music composed by Allister Brimble in this game.
