WC1 - Swing Commander

[Madman]

re tyrian im sure i have a copy of the demo somewhere, probs even got full game.

i agree that the academy (game) midis might be nice.

also does anyone have a really good "wing commander soundfont" for their midi playback on their soundcards? ive been looking for one for years!

BAHH! Soundfonts. I hate SB-Live!

 

[Madman]

soundfonts are not merely used by sb live, but also by all pci soundblasters including the audigy and audigy 2

 

[Mad Hatter]

OK, I'll rephrase: I hate 'Sound Blaster'!

Well... it's all that seems to work for older games like Privateer...

 

[Mad Hatter]

Ooh, I don't know 'bout that. My Yamaha PCI sound card handles privateer quite well on it's own, thank you very much.

 

[Wedge009]

Yeah, well you're just lucky. Do we need to go through the numerous "Help! I can't get sound in Privateer!" threads?

 

[LeHah]

My SB16 always worked fine for me. All you people can rot.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Don't you have better things to do than hang around this thread, LeHah?

 

[LeHah]

No. No, I do not.

 

[Madman]

pff, SB rule though the true top dog, is the mighty gravis ultrasound mmmmmmh midi

Nothing ever beats the music to the Commodore 64's "Blade Runner". Nothing

 

[TCSTigersClaw]

Nothing beats the Amiga`s sound!
I played WC1 fisrt there and I got hooked from the music first and then from the game!

The Amiga MOD version of WC1 sounds kinda crappy, IMHO. too metallic, if you know waht I mean.

I have it in it's orginal MOD format if you like.

I dont know about the MOD....the real stuff was perfect!

 

[Mad Hatter]

What real stuff? it didn't have digital audio, it used MODs (or one of it's siblings) for music.

I don't have any experience with what yer talking about, but I have this to say: The graphics from the combat aspect of WC Armada (when you get into a dogfight-gauntlet, etc....) were pretty darn impressive to me, specifically because the Kilrathi ships seemed to have a metallic sheen to them. That's something I've never encountered elsewhere (as yet), whether within or outside of WC. Quite cool, IMHO...

More music available

I've uploaded a midi version of the WC-Academy theme (game) to my web page here.

Hey, how bout a MIDI with the opening music from WC1? The music they played in the very beginning when the two Drathis fly by, and a hornet blows up the second one? You know it.
