@TotOOntHeMooN

Thank you! And I agree, it is too short. Never finished that one, maybe I should. :)

@FireSeraphim Actually, those games uses the OPL2 chip

This song right here is a OPL4 song.

I don't know of any games what so ever that uses OPL4 but I do know about the OPL2 and OPL3 chips.

BTW: The soundtrack to Traffic Department 2192 is perhaps the best piece of OPL2 composition that was ever done.

Best OPL3 masterpiece would be everything about CyberSphere and some of the Adlib Tracker 2 songs.

Also I meant to say "MS-Dos" rather than "MSX-Dos" in my initial comment, I have since removed it.

@johnhassink:Thus explaining my natural disbelief when it comes to the title of this video. I also wholeheartly encourage you to look at a few other games that used the OPL4 chip to great effect such as Wolfenstein 3D, UFO: Enemy Unknown and a few others I can't name right off hand.

@johnhassink: I want you to compare this song with "Welcome to a Kick in the Pants in Good Old Hillville" from Commander Keen 4 (Which is an old MS DOS game that actually uses the OPL4 Chip within it's natural limits) or "He's Back" From Duke Nukem 2 (Another MS-DOS game that again uses the OPL4 Chip within it's natural limits) and tell me what you notice? Your cover of Space Manbow uses instruments that would not be possible on a OPL4 chip on a Windows 95 computer.

@FireSeraphim

Sorry, I think I do not understand exactly what you mean by this. I am honestly intrigued, so could you be a bit more specific?

@johnhassink I hope ! :)
