  • Thank you everyone for all the kind words regarding my music for this game. It's fantastic to know that you all still enjoy it after so many years. This was my last project with Sierra and I was terribly anxious about the direction I had taken with the score. Combining classical, rock and traditional folk music (and a bit of jazz) was a bit out there but in the end it seems like everyone got where I was coming from. Once again, thanks for such kind words. -Aubrey Hodges

  • Wish Activision would realize what a gold mine they have here and remake the series.

  • @bcrt2000 Or at least allow it to be sold on GOG.

    QFG4 was the first PC game I ever bought with my own money as a kid, and still my favorite. The music is no small part of that. The glorious title theme, all of the wonderful incidental music... Grieg's "Anitra's Dance" will forever conjure images of Yuri, Bella, Domovoi, and the smell of oiled hardwood and garlic.

    Thank you, sir, for lifelong memories.

  • It sounds even better on my system... Still great though :)

  • @aubsta Wow! It's awesome that you posted here. The QFG IV soundtrack is one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. Though I was only ten when I played the game, I've always vividly remembered the music. You did a brilliant job. I'd love to hear someone convert some of the tracks to real instrumental someday; I think they'd sound great.

    Cheers!

  • @aubsta I have to say thank you to you as well, and it's a pleasure to discover that anyone who was a part of this game is available to receive the compliments they deserve. These scores have become fond memories of childhood days spent not doing my homework in front of a brand new 486DX2 (that came with a Sound Blaster 16 Pro already installed), particularly the music of the town of Mordavia. I still hum it out of nowhere from time to time. Cheers to one of the best games ever made. :)

  • @Francois424 if you ever watch a movie based on a game , you'll understand what a terrible idea that will be.

  • @aubsta I love the music so much. This was one of the classic games from my childhood and the music is no small part of that. Fantom Erana's garden is the best. Thanks!

  • @Francois424 Intro music is awesome!. I want a quality REMAKE!

  • LOVE THIS TRACK!!! IS THERE A HIGHER QUALITY REMAKE?
