There is something more to this that most oldschool music doesn't have, though. The Adlib Gold's surround sound module really adds another layer of depth and reverb in the sound that I think might be unique to this soundtrack. (The AdLib Gold itself was sadly a flop.)

I think when you didn't have all the modern bells and whistles, zillions of channels and layers of instruments, you had to come up with clear ideas and melodies. Nowadays it's more of churning generics and hiding behind bombastic formless "epic" productions which nobody won't remember a day later. Not saying there is no great stuff anymore though.

Incidentally I listened to this with my old stereo headset, but then it crapped out yesterday, and I still have an unused terratec 5.1 usb soundcard and a medusa nx 5.1 headphone laying around that I didn't use because it clamps so hard on my head. Man am I glad that stereo headset died. In the time I didn't use it, I had it hanging on the edge of a desk, and over the span of a year, the clamping force weakened just enough for it to sit perfectly over my ears. This is glorious to listen to with surround sound. Glorious! I have no idea if the soundcard just does some magic to turn the stereo sound from this video into full surround, but I can clearly hear it all around me. Thank you so much for uploading this. Man these sweet FM sounds take me back. Way back. Much appreciated man.

Very good soundtrack. It is good to hear soundtrack that can use full potential of Adlib Gold sound card with underrated YMF262 OPL3 chip. I hate most MS-DOS soundtracks because they using generic General MIDI which does not do justice to OPL chips, especially OPL3. Also great music have japanese games using PMD sound driver which was written special for OPL and it is not based on MIDI. Too bad that is no PMD documentation in english.

Yes I also do hate exactly the same thing. I had an AWE32 so some games which had support for it (32 voice wavetable sound) did sound great, but others (which supported only SB regular) did sound like a complete shit. I remember so many of my friends turned off music in Doom or Duke Nukem 3D, coz it was indeed a shit on FM, but I liked it because it was good on AWE32. But then again, there were a few games , including this one, which had a music programmed for OPL3 (most likely for a professional FM synth but downrated to the capabilities of these Adlib/Gold/SB cards) and they did sound great even on a cheap soundcard. Unfortunately a few people did understand that.
@freeculture

This happened at certain point, when the games started supporting midi modules. Before, when the adlib was the target, they used the FM chips more properly altering parameters in real time to achieve creative results, as the wizards of previous 8 bit glory (ie. SID) did. After midi modules came, they (programmers, music composers?) became lazy, they just made a midi for mt32 and later sc55 and treated everything below the same "play as best as you can" thing. So the FM chips would then be "initialized" with pre-programmed "instruments" and that was it. In Japan i think the PC98 started coming with the Yamaha chips in 1985 sparking their own scene of dedicated composers there.

Back in '94 i played this game just because of the music. The graphics are great too, very stylish. The gameplay itself is more or less mediocre, the trick is to not advance too fast, everytime you get new areas to mine spice, you have to mine every spice out of it before you advance to the next areas. Otherwise the Emperor will press the spice out of you until you're going bankrupt.

@@niceanddestroyed I would say, if a game can be easily won just by playing it with slow progress, because that reduces the aggressive behaviour of the opponents to a non threatening level, that can be called a fundamental flaw. It's like building sand sacks in Command & Conquer 1.

@@Fre1maurer i am not sure you played it when it went out, because the game wasn't that easy as you said (on the contrary). Even if you play it knowing it by heart, it is about 4 hours of game in the best case which is the average time in those years for computer games knowing the solution (which was really complicated to get without the web at that time). About your "agressivity" part, I don't understand what it has to do with the game, it has more to do with your way of seeing video games, and taking this game as a pure war game or a conquer game, which is not. It is a mix of several genres, which makes it unique. Your last comment says it all : you know that one or two years in that period is massive in improving things in video games (quality of the creation part, game play, technical parts, etc.). You are comparing a game of 1995 (C&Q) with a game of 1992, which is a little bit dishonest. Context and history are always essential when doing this, and you have also to compare the sizes of development teams (Japanese and US games had generally a lot bigger teams and means at that time than French ones). To end with this, a video game isn't only about gameplay, it is also about the special world created in it and the ambiance. In 1992, not so many video games had this kind of strong unique identity. Dune II seems very common comparing to this one. Anyway, qualifying the game play as mediocre is also dishonest. If you are talking pure game play, I am not even sure you are right. If you are talking game play as the whole experience, you are definitely wrong. The success of the game speaks for itself.

Personally I think this music was made for a FM synth (not sample based synth like MT-32) in the first place. Otherwise how can it contain so many details just in Adlib/Gold version. A few games have so much detailed soundtrack for this level of soundcards, most of them just prefer to emulate General MIDI and it _does_ sound terrible and boring. I understand that because during 90s, I had an AWE32 sound card, so I understood why a lot of people hated Doom soundtrack while I did enjoy it. This soundtrack will sound great however even if you play Dune in DosBOX (quite faithfully reproducing how it would sound on a regular SoundBlaster).
