This is one of my favorite games ever, and one of my favorite musical scores to a game. I actually have the entire midi soundtrack converted to an mp3 file so I can listen to it on my Zen. IMHO, the music to Gabriel Knight 3 was even better, and would be a great addition to your series.

It'll get featured one day for sure.

fyi, the music from Gabriel Kniht was composed primarily by Robert Holmes, not the artists listed on the side above. most of those people listed were involved in producing the game's sound effects, not its music. stuart rosen directed the voice acting and made no contribution to either the game's score or sound effects.

Yep, you are correct. Guess I made a bad copy/paste job when I first upped this one. Fixed the description, thanks for the info.

All three games have great music and storytelling. I would have loved to see a Gabriel Knight movie starring Heath Ledger as Gabriel but that ain't happening :(

3:18 , the voodoo shop reminds me of the Isle of Dr. Brain. The same composer must've done both of them.

You should do a video for Police Quest 3 since we're on the topic of Sierra Quest games - it was composed by Jan Hammer!

@Luke13verse5Repent Why would you comment that on this video? Makes no sense. Also, you should work on your people skills, telling people "Hey, your gonna burn in hell unless you do what this book says" Is not a good way to introduce people to Christianity.

You've forgotten the best one.

The song from Mr. John's Shop

The Bayou St. John is my favorite of the ones you put here. I was hoping you were going to have them all here. I especially miss the Madame Cazaunoux and Napoleon House tracks.

I just got the non-CD-ROM version of Gabriel Knight 1 working on DOSBox. It's a really good game and it's kinda fun to actually play considering these were games that I missed out on. 

When GK1 first came out, I was only 5 years old and the only computer we had was meant for my mom's work. I wouldn't have understood it anyway since it was all DOS and there was nothing fun for me to run.

@rodrigomartincampo It can be played through DOSBox via you great soundcard, SB16 is the best, and you can try Midi and MT-32 and see what you like - to have had all those in your PC in 1992 would have cost $1,000!!!
