Er, that music from The Legend of Kyrandia is incorrectly named. It doesn't play in the Timbermist woods.

@LaukkuTheGreit Thanks for the correction. I made an annotation with the corrected title.

[lynnej1970]

all great games,havnt [played them all,,i just hope they can playon xp.

[SavageTV]

@lynnej1970 You can use a program called "DOSBox" to run many of them. For the LucasArts games (along with Kyrandia) there is another program called "ScummVM" that works really well. Hope this helps.

What I wish is that someone, somewhere, would release this music in a collectable (or even purchasable) form. Some of this music ranks up with the greatest masterpieces in the world.

Just nice music you mixed up...thx for that. Track 2 from Indy 4 is so epic...THX for reminding me on that track.

The tune from Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis.... i'm sure this is used in a final fantasy game (maybe VIII in the deep sea research centre?) This, or something VERY similar.
