I love all the old 8 bit chip music, stuff that was generated by a processor not by playing back presampled sounds, great examples are the tunes generated in the Commodore 64 games.
I'm just wondering what games you've played that have been enhanced by their music and what is your favourite(s).
Recently I completed Half Life - The Orange box, one of the games is called Portal and I was treated to this wee song during the end credits.
If you are familiar with the Half Life games then this will raise a smile.
Here is the attached song and lyrics.
This was triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we have learned
for the people who are
still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE. (ha ha) FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there,
it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive.
PS: And believe me I am
still alive.
PPS: I'm doing Science and I'm
still alive.
PPPS: I feel FANTASTIC and I'm
still alive.
FINAL THOUGHT:
While you're dying I'll be
still alive.
FINAL THOUGHT PS:
And when you're dead I will be
still alive.
STILL ALIVE
