A long time ago, I found a demo of an MS-DOS game called Shakii the Wolf.
The game itself, while mildly charming, was pretty terrible - except for the music, which I loved. The songs from the game reminded me strongly of the classic 16-bit Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo games I grew up with.
Fortunately, even though it was a demo, the soundtrack contained (as far as I can tell) all of the game's music. At the time, I had none of this new-fangled computer internet gadgetry you kids are so fond of, and I ended up dubbing the music to audio cassette.
I haven't been able to find the music online anywhere, so I guess it's up to me to provide a source. Here's a YouTube playlist of the entire soundtrack, ripped directly from my dusty old mix tapes! Don't worry; the sound quality is still reasonable.
This one is probably my favourite track in the game.
Sadly, I have no idea who composed the soundtrack, as I don't have the full version of the game, and I can't find the info anywhere, either. If you know anything about it, please drop by in the comments and let me know.
P.S. Seriously, don't click this link. =P

ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks for the comment. Glad to know I've reminded you of some happy memories.
DeleteI have since learned of more of the same composer's work, for the games Illusion Blase (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOWKOVHjiKBSB7wnUs61NKQZDiHcf6Yz5) and Pee & Gity (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL46A8B647AFD3191D).
