Games now are more like movies and obviously technically better, but something has been lost as well - that’s why people still gravitate towards chiptunes and retro games.
@@willvatcher1898 While I disagree with you, you are hardly a fool for that statement You may know a lot more than I do but I feel we lost resourcefulness.

This game is a work of art and one of the jewels in the Amiga crown. Manfred Trenz and Chris Huelsbeck pulled off hundreds of colors, 50fps and 7-channel sound in 1991, pushing the Amiga so hard it made me believe in voodoo. Plus, it helped that Huelsbeck made his best compositions right here, fully justifying the multichannel sound.
Better make sure the battery gets replaced if you haven't done so ny now. The battery leak does permanent damage, and so many innocent Amiga 500s have sadly been killed by that...
Ah, Turrican, Great Giana Sisters, Super Cars 2, Speedball II, Monkey Island ... the first Civilization, needing 1 MB the vanilla Amiga 500 didn't have; Hülsbeck, the Bitmap Brothers ... great times. I really miss them.
Chris Hülsbeck shook everyone’s hand and walked out the door. Three weeks later, Hülsbeck walked in the door with music in his hand. The music began. I was sweating. I am impossible to satisfy, I thought. I was cheering! How did this thin man with a dackel dog, seize the soul of every character and set it to music?! Then it dawned on me. Simple. How could I have not known at our first meeting that Chris Hülsbeck is German."
This is one song from Turrican 2. It's a great song in itself, but then you need to realize that there were 10+ levels in the game and each level had a theme of its own... and some levels had a separate theme for an end boss. Each piece of music was excellent. I have no idea how many times I played through this game, but I know that without all this great in-game music I'd have completed the game far fewer times.
I miss the limitations of the time back then so much, born in 85 my childhood and youth was the best time for gaming and i am glad i was there, this awesome times will never come back, LAN-Parties with Unreal Tournament and C&C, playing consoles 4 player split screen, games like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, such a wonderful time
@@fefraga2008 It's incredibly impressive track, especially considering that. Hüelsbeck really took everything out of Amiga's sound capabilities. Many other impressive stuff too like c64 commando. Guy made better music track for c64 than expensive arcade were. Correction that was Hubbard.
It takes a certain amount of confidence to come up with a killer main theme tune - and then only play it for ten seconds in an entire eight-minute composition.
Remember hauling my amiga 500 to school for my presentation on computer graphics . Even the teacher was blown away. School only had apple Macs. Thanks for the awesome memories. My other fav soundtrack is project x
My Bro received an Amiga 500 1989. This has been my first game, think the original bench is at my brothers side. The Amiga is still working proper. Loved it and I still lve this soundtrack.
I remember we was playing on the commodore 64 at my best friend when i've got a VHS tape with some amiga 500 games on it, recorded for us to introduce the system and games. I still remember the firsg time when i've seen this screen with this music, i was absolutely mesmerised then i've seen the gameplay too, i fell in love straight away. Im playing games since 80's constantly but this game is in my top 5. I'd love that era and although i've still got two amiga 500 i truly miss the early 90's, it were a pure joy to be a gamer then.
Incredible music. Chris Huelsbeck, Rob Hubbard (Master of Magic) and Chris Follin (Ghouls 'n' Ghosts)... three of my favourite music composers. This tune is amazing though and still sounds energetic and catchy, all these years later. It is impressive how much they got out of fairly limited hardware. These days music is technically better but most of it isn't memorable in the same way as these old chipset tunes.
Didnt live to see the Amiga, nor the Genesis, nor SNES. But I now have a Sega Genesis and a repro copy of Mega Turrican and original copy of Ballistic’s conversion of the original Turrican and I love this series to bits.
0:50 my favorite part :D I am not old enough to remember the Amiga, my story begins with the PS1 and N64, but dammit when I go back in time and listen to gold like this, I'd wish I had been there!! :D In fact, my first exposure to this game in particular was at an 80s party last your in october, where all kinds of different 80s consoles/computer hardware had been set up for our entertainment. Among them was the Amiga and a variety of games, among them was this game. It caught the corner of my eye with its flashy titlescreen, and although I could barely hear anything over the noise from the party, this amazing track still managed to cut through and I instantly fell in love!! :D
Maybe some day gaming can go back to its superior roots where casuals don't run everything, and where we don't have bratty children who talk about how they wish they could go back in time to the "superior gaming days" that they weren't even alive to experience. Look at the garbage we have today for shooters. Overwatch? D44M? Call of Duty? Battlefield? All are terrible in comparison to Quake and Unreal. Gaming just keeps getting worse.
Hab damals den Amiga nur so stundenlang laufenlassen Disk rein Stereoanlage an und laut. Die Orginaldisk hab ich heute noch!! Cris Hülsbeck macht immer noch Musik fur Games zb.Geo Drop HD für IOS der Track ist auch wieder super Schöne Zeit gewesen.
This kind of music had such a great influence on my musical mind (along with Megaman theme and various tracker modules and generally anything electronic from Scandinavia).
Past, present and future. This sound will always be with me. Like the Force. I´ve been groiwing up with Turrican, back in those days ;) . Me and my friend, we used to play this hour by our just to get into the flow of music and gaming. I still hear this on my phone. Atm its the amiga Turrican medley. Chris Huelsbeck did a great job. I am very thankfull! Ich verbeuge mich für so viele schöne Stunden exzellenter Unterhaltung
Hardware limitations inspire creative solutions, doing as much as possible with what is available really drove developers to battle it out and prove their coding skills. Nowadays we have an incredible amount of processing power - there’s little incentive to really optimise to get the most out of the hardware. We also have a huge variety of hardware to target so high level languages and abstraction is used.
Am I crazy? I still think this sounds fantastic to this day. What a superb soundtrack...brilliant game, and its been about 20 years but I'm sure it was only 2 disks as well. How did they manage to fit so much into so little? There used to be a computer shop in Manchester UK called Microbyte back in the day, and I remember when this came out they had it playing all day, every day on a loop for weeks on end and I don't think anyone tired of it. I miss these days of computer music...
The original T2 was one disk only (which usually fit only 880kb) and factor 5 figured out a way to pack a little bit more onto it. That was their copy protection and the reason that all the 2M pirated versions had 2 disks (in 2014!!! the first 1 disk pirate version was released)
@@docdoom79 Is that a fact? Thats incredible if they managed to fit everything onto just the 1 disk! I have to be honest, back in the day my copy of Turrican was the pirate version along with 99.9% of the rest of my games lol. In fact I think the only games that I owned outright was Beach Volley and The Secret of Monkey Island 2. Piracy was so easy and so prevalent back then...even the years before pirating my CPC and Spectrum games on cassette. Such different times, but yeah I am amazed they managed to get the whole of Turrican 2 onto one disk only...magicians.
Absolutely classics! 😍 Back then everybody - and everybody's dads, teaching us about "Computers" thought the PC would only ever be for spreadsheets and stuff like that. How the world have changed! But thank you C64 and Amiga 500, you were a big part of kickstarting something great.
Turrican was one of my favourite games along side choas engine,, how times have changed this brings bk so many childhood memories ahh the nostalgia no game today can have the impact these did back then :).
I'm too young so never played that or any other these legendary games on Amiga, Commodore or Atari. But thx to my father I know them and saw, heard music of them. Like this, Xenon, Leander, Cannon Fodder. And other but no on these but on "normal" PC like Unreal or FreeSpace. They all are epic. What's more every time when that music plays from 3:20 I have tears in my eyes. Fucking amazing.
Hearing this intro after all those decades takes me straight back to the teen years of my life on a wave of nostalgia that brings both happiness that it was, but sadness that it's gone.
@@raxsavvage because instead of trying to make a great game with proper ambiance and new things they try to push in stuff which is popular, it was always about the money but now they try to use popularity instead of trying to become popular, it sadly hurts the games badly when it comes to music
There's only one word that can describe it. Majestic! Thanks to youtube after 25+ years i can say a big thanks to the developers for making one of the greatest side scrolling shoot em up games ever. What you made was nothing short of magic, god bless you.
This track, and the rest of the Turrican 2 ost, was the soundtrack to my cyber-punk obsessed, anime n' video games overloaded teenage years, 91' onwards. One of the best times of my life, and this music haunts me forever with associations from that time. It also inspired me to do what I do today, which is make electronic music professionally! Thanks, Chris Huelsbeck. He was clearly a bit of a genius :-)
Oh man the good ol Amiga days!! Why isn’t there a remake or at least a port to modern devices?? It’s a really cool game! I’d buy it for this song alone! 😎
The port is luckly already widely available on both retail and digital stores , look it up on on my channel Nintendo Switch uploads (it is also available on other platforms. I am still waiting for the Anthology collection which is undertsandbly late but will certainly be worth the wait. Factor 5 says the next "Turrican" game depends on how the compilation collection sells, so fingers crossed...
@@ShiryuGL There is a weird trend currently, where it matters if something belongs to "you"/"your" time etc. so you can appreciate it. People appreciate classical music and art, that has been made centuries before them. This melody has something special to it, no matter when you were born.
Amiga always had great sounding outputs. The basic 4 channel PCM (samples) were fantastic. However these guys changed the game 👍 7 or 8 track 👌👌👌👌 Absolutely mind-blowing coding.

So good, I'm suuper stoked that Chris did the soundtrack for my game, Interstellar Sentinel. We channeled the spirit of Turrican goodness!

Factor 5 says the next "Turrican" game depends on how the compilation collection sells, so fingers crossed...
@@ShiryuGL Wow, really! Thanks for the heads up, will def check it out! Yea, fingers crossed!!

This soundtack was a landmark on the AMIGA, featuring SEVEN voices on an A500. Legend.
Yeah gotta say the Turrican soundtrack is awesome, the music has it's own little story in it!!
Yeah, this one is epic. I sometimes just listened to the intro and stared at the screen. This one is epic.. Respect to Chris Hülsbeck!!
19 dislikes??!?!! Wat's wrong with you people???
They weren't probably even born back then, it's not their fault.
Thet are dissapointed because they bought the Atari ST instead of the A500. 😉
@@ShiryuGL There is a weird trend currently, where it matters if something belongs to "you"/"your" time etc. so you can appreciate it.
People appreciate classical music and art, that has been made centuries before them.
This melody has something special to it, no matter when you were born.
I finished that game and I remember listening that song over and over again! Aweaome!!
Quality from Germany!
Amiga always had great sounding outputs.
The basic 4 channel PCM (samples) were fantastic. However these guys changed the game 👍 7 or 8 track 👌👌👌👌
Absolutely mind-blowing coding.
Never forget!
Before altzheimer eats my brain!
One of the best sound tracks ever written. I still beat box this in the office and I'm 30 now :) Brilliant.
I agree... This music is f*ck*n awesome :)
Glad I was born when I was I got to enjoy these back on the day
For me is the best part 1:26 It is awesome music!
+Petr Krylov Could never single out a favourite part. Everything is just spot on perfect.
I love Chris Huelsbeck.
This was the first tune I played in my new BMW years ago as I was flooring it out of the lot. The music is so damn kickass.
👌🏻🏆👍🏻😁
