My goodness. My father was a music engineer and ran a digital recording studio in Chicago for years. One day in the early 90’s my best friend and I were playing space quest on his MIDI recording computer and he saw the setup screen said MT32. He said wait... let me set this up for you guys. MY GOD. This was the most incredible thing I’d ever heard in my life. A computer video game with perfect music!

It has been 30 years since Roger Wilco was summoned from the only good sleep he’d ever have. Oh well, at least we got some sick music out of it.

Stupid robots.

The music when it kicks on at 0:59.. so much passion. It’s just, so good.

The best game series ever! I dont know how nobody did a movie about this game.. it will be a fantasy come true.

Holy smokes I played the hell outta this on my Childhood 486 DX2 66mhz running Windows 95 i remember my dad drops this MT32 into my lap and goes hook his up. I was only about 5 windows 95 was out. and we piped the audio from my PC into my pioneer home theater system in my room at my old childhood home. MY god did it sound good. dad made the mistake of turning the volume up all the way. the subwoofer was shaking my room during the intro. it was freaking loud but my dad said the smile on my face was freaking ear to ear.

One of the best DOS game intro even better!!

Played this when it came out in the eighties – installed on our 386 from the original diskettes, and was enthralled throughout the journey. Just now listened to this amazing tune after 34 years – I knew I was going to get goosebumps if I remembered it note for note, but I wasn't prepared for how hard 0:59 hit me. Thank you for these amazing memories.

God, that title music!! I really hope I get to hear it again in a new game someday 😊

[morganandrews]

Hours and hours of my childhood spent playing this. Happy days! :)

The best thing you could get at that time, this was the peak.

Beyond depressing this has barely 600 views, yet any Vevo video will have millions.

This is freaking amazing. Today I have also learned about the Supertramp connection. Thank you for this video!

In the 1980s in my teens I got an MT32 box with an ISA MIDI card, and played these DOS Sierra games using my NAD 3020 amp and my Stax electrostatic headphones being decades ahead on gaming audio fidelity while the graphics was laughable after today's standard.

[raccoon]

it still sounds god like and it's 1980's music tech

[Kpeters]

I remember the difference in sound coming from pc speaker to this… goosebumps

Mark Siebert. Oh, that’s why the music is amazing... wonder no more

Fun fact: There is the world's largest McDonalds in Florida where there is a whole floor of arcade games. That's the closest you will get to a Monolith Burger joint. There is no astro chicken though, and no Belcher Combo :D

Kids these days will never know the struggle of dying a hundred different ways.
