Empress_Owl: I have to do stuff so I wish you a very pleasant Sunday afternoon
Maybe I'll come back in the evening
**Big hugs**

superstande: Good After Night Morning Tidings

Just discovered that old game music, the .sid format from Commodore 64 games in particular, goes just rather nicely with "modern" rpgs like Risen.
I felt a lot more heroic with The Last Ninja 2, Zoids, Short Circuit and International Karate playing while I roamed dark caverns full of nasty horribilities :)
And with just 3 channels available, these old folks sure knew how to write music :)

AgentBirdnest: NEXT PAGE!!! Where are you!?!? :'-O',',',',','',

moonshineshadow: *holidays hugs and waves* :D

AgentBirdnest: Good mornoon :-)

Really? I dunno if I'd agree. I like music to match the graphics. High quality graphics must have modern high quality music, otherwise it feels to weird to me :-p ... and for low quality graphics, I like low quality music.

ddickinson: *big holiday hug*

How are you enjoying your holidays? I bet you are glad to be free of work for a while?

moonshineshadow: *holidays hugs and waves* :D

moonshineshadow: *holidays hugs and waves* :D

ddickinson: Moon was keeping it hostage until she made her post. :-)

superstande: Well yeah I'd imagine it's a matter of taste and no point trying to change the music if it works well already :)
But Risen doesn't have very strong presence of music in battles... I found it so at least... And occasionally this sort of old school beat'em up stuff really helped me to stay concentrated :) But it's not so good when in a town where you do a lot of talking and thinking and such...

moonshineshadow: Yeah it will be nice to just be lazy and enjoy some free time :D

AgentBirdnest: Pfft... how mean >:-| ... she could have just asked us politely not to post until she did ;-p

I don't think I've said good mornoon to you yet... so... Good mornoon :-) *big hug*

ddickinson: True, but where is the fun in that? :-)

AgentBirdnest: *big hug for Moon* :-)

AgentBirdnest: I guess the fun would be in the satisfaction of knowing that people listen to you and obey your requests? :-p

AgentBirdnest: Hm, I don't remember the music in Risen... I guess I need to play it again.
I usually don't listen to any "outside" music when playing games, unless the game has absolutely no sound at all.

superstande: Well I'm not going to argue... after all, the designers have made the music and other sounds for that particular game.
Perhaps I just sometimes need this extra fanfare music to get through some difficult battles, while the in-game music is a bit less... inspiring for greatness :P
