Skyroads - Title Theme

Here's the title theme to one of my favorite old games from the early 1990s. I don't remember the ship SFX being this annoying, but it's still a classic tune.

wow gdreyband you sure have good taste in music and video games. Just a quick thank you for some of that great older Bemani stuff you uploaded.

[gdreyband]

Ha, thanks. I've been feeling guilty about not uploading anything lately, but hopefully I'll correct the situation soon.

why would you upload it with you pressing shit on the menu?

the first 40 secs or so was cool.

[gdreyband]

Sorry about that, I got it directly from the Blue Moon website, so what you hear is what's there. I didn't rip the music myself but in retrospect I should have.

@gdreyband that's the track as you hear on the game itself....i mean, it plays on the intro, and there is a demo gameplay on the intro and those bumping sounds are the ship (which i find to fit the song really well 'o' almost seems like it was on purpose)

This sounded much better in my memory of the game from the mid-1990s. I'd be tempted to dig up a computer from that time and attempt to record the music when it sounds as it was intended to, rather than emulated. But then again my memory may just be playing tricks on me. In any case this game has awesome music.

@Tiogshi I know. as the uploader already said to me he got it off the dev's own website so it's lazy on their part and not so much the uploader's.

a while ago I did some reversing on this game and from memory the songs are just mod files compressed with an LZS variant common on the amiga. I don't know why the devs didn't post the music file itself rather than rip it from their own game.

@zaelie What you're hearing is just a recording of the actual game, which after 40 seconds means you're hearing the audio of the gameplay demo the game shows if you're idle at the UI for too long. Lots of games used to have a gameplay/attractor loop like this, a remnant from the heyday of arcades.

can any of you guys find me a place where i can download this game?

Old 8 bit music

[foxycorredor]

I think the ships sounds are cuz u left the game idle so the game start showing a gameplay sample or something.
