Overlooked soundtracks Vol.1: Shadowgate 64

[ReyVGM]

If the stupid music file converter I'm using doesn't lock itself after 15 days I might turn this into a when-I-feel-like-it feature of overlooked video game soundtracks.

The first one, Shadowgate 64: Trials of The Four Towers for the Nintendo 64.
Sure the game kind of sucked, but if you played it long enough the eerie atmosphere would start to grow on you.
The music, was probably overlooked due to the midi-ish nature of the N64 sound 'chip' (or lack of it) and the really blurry graphics that kept players away.

The only problem I had with Shadow Gate 64 was the fact you never entered castle Shadow Gate to begin with. I mean, come on! You friggin pass the main gates!

Anyway, the music in this game is pretty great. Excellent choice.

Well, you didn't go in Castle Shadowgate in Beyond Shadowgate either

I guess no one is interested in the music even when they are direct links...

An excelent soundtrack, alltough the instrumentation is little wierd at some places.
Has a rich snes feel to it, which is a plus.

This is pretty classy stuff. Straddles the line between classical and neo-classical almost as effectively as a Castlevania soundtrack.

Glad people are liking it, I will post Volume 2 tomorrow.

Hi dude... I'm gathering all these masterpieces of the Shadowgate 64 OST to arrange with a friend some acoustic versions of them...
It would be a great help if you upload the rest of the Shadowgate soundtrack...

Wow... Shadowgate 64 is channeling Super Castlevania 4! Not in that is sounds exactly like it, but damn, do some of these tracks remind me of that soundtrack.

Off-topic, is it weird that I brought Super Castlevania 4 on the VC today, considering I already have it for the SNES and also in ROM form???

I think that's a whole other thread right there!
