Hello all (and some requests)

Post by JagdPanther »

Hi there all , I am new to this board.

My computerhistory spans from the C64 to the Amiga to the PC.

Most notoriously as a member of the still existing group TRiAD (using a different handle - that I don't want to speak of ;) ).

Anyway, I've been a close follower of the C64 remix scene and to my great enjoyment - I know see the embryo of a Amiga version starting out.

IMO the Amiga is a toughter nut to remix - as the quality (of the instruments) was pretty good to begin with.

What I'd really like is to see some remixes of the old sonix tunes of the Amiga game "Alternate Reality" remixed. I love them tunes but have to resort to running an amiga emulator to get the most out of it.

I know that the composer "Gary Gilbertson" did release a CD a long time ago with his own remixes of the tunes... but sadly this is impossible to get hold of.

Also it'd be nice to see the "Faery Tale adventure" songs get covered.

Thank You

I believe we're talking about the same game.

It was a roleplaying game.

It was supposed to become a series, but to my knowledge only 2 parts came to the C64 ("The City" and "The Dungeon").

The only one that ever surfaced on the Amiga was "The City" - a game that in all it's simplicity (No quests , just wader around) kept me thrilled for years.

The music on the amiga version was made in Aegis Sonix.

Thank You very much for the fast response!

Regards

JP

Maybe i should save the original tunes (amiga version) as mp3, and someone might be willing to put up to the task?

Also , since they were made in Aegis Sonix, it's possible to study the complete notepatterns. (dunno whether it's possible to convert it to standard .mid files though)..
