Sitting in Jeff Briggs's MicroProse office back 1991-92 listening to him play this on his General MIDI box is one of the random unexpected highlights of my life. He was still doing composition and orchestration with a friend of his at the time, in addition to game design of course.
The Roland MT-32 soundcard was the top-of-the-line PC soundcard at the time, and not many PC Civ I players would have heard such high-quality music back in the day. (I think my husband and I had a SoundBlaster on our PC at the time, and there were still a LOT of game which we played on our Commodore 64 and our Amiga 500, because PC games were still catching up to the best of 8-bit and 16-bit systems in sound quality -- especially for gamers who couldn't afford a Roland MT-32 soundcard for their PCs yet.)
Crappalulla, I was looking for Dvorak's "From the new world" in a video game and was pretty sure it was on Civ I... I missed ! I have to check more ! But that was a pleasant video to listen, thanks !
You sir are a LEGEND!!! Would you be okay with me using your high quality recordings to create a soundtrack upgrade pack for Civilization 1 for Windows? Its soundtrack (if you can call it that lol) is all 5-10 second low quality wav files that are so inferior to the dos version its depressing. Someone recently released a dos graphics overhaul pack for CivWin for fans like me that never liked CivWin's graphics and prefered the dos versions look. Well if I make a soundtrack overhaul using your recordings it will truly convert CivWin into a brilliant high rez graphics & high quality music version of Civ1! :)
oooh the wav format would be great if possible thanks! :) If you haven't got a place to share them from, let me know and I can give you a link to a public section of my onedrive to upload to. I've already done a crude experiment using a recording of the first few mins of your vid and it worked! WinCiv let me use longer songs at a much higher quality then they originally used!! :) I've just started discussing the matter over at CivFanatacis here: forums.civfanatics.com/threads/sound-graphic-mods-for-civilization-1-for-windows.632023/
Yeeesssssss!! Got it! Thank you so much mate. :) Next weekend I'll start trying to import all the tracks into WinCiv. WinCiv appears to reject anything better than 24000hz 16bit mono however converting from the source files will result in better output than converting something that's already been converted multiple times. I'll let you know when it's all done and will obviously credit you in the mod release. :)
Hi mate, just letting you know that I released the mod last year and have had no complaints. Works really great with your enhanced tracks. Thank you so much for your help! Here's the release thread if you're interested: forums.civfanatics.com/threads/civilization-1-for-windows-complete-soundtrack-overhaul-mod.633237/ Also recently made a moddb page for it too: www.moddb.com/mods/civwin-complete-soundtrack-overhaul-mod Will release a video tour showing off stuff down the track too..
Microprose released a few 'jukebox' for playing music from their games : Civilization Darklands Pirates! Gold F14 Fleet Defender. The Civjuke.exe program was included with some re-releases of the game, and was also available on Microprose's BBS then Microprose's FTP. I only recorded the MT-32 music : Civjuke.exe in Dosbox, sending music data to my MT-32 through a MIDI-USB interface (Roland UM-One MkII), Roland MT-32 sound output linked to the 'line-in' minijack of my PC, line-in sound recorded with Audacity.
@@barbarianbros *very* nice job I hadn't heard these this way since, literally, Briggs played them for me about 30 years ago. I think of the second half of the theme as being vaguely John Adams-y. By far my favorite thing I've heard by Jeff Briggs. I'm sure there's a huge amount more I haven't heard though...

Wow. Did you work there?
I did not but I had a great day long interview way way back when. Microprose was all good guys. 👍✨
@@Jayenh cool! 👽 Where can this interview be found?
2022 and Remember every second of this soundtrack.
used to play this on a AMIGA 500 in 1992 like a beast ,, i was 18 yo , good old days,,,
Me too... But 9 old... 😅
I got into Civ with 3, but I love how these themes have been continuously revived like epithets for each civilization. :)

I played it on PC Speaker and Sound Blaster, but this still brings me back
Thanks for this excellent content.
Tellement mythique pour moi cette musique... Mon enfance... Sur mon premier Amiga 500
Crappalulla, I was looking for Dvorak's "From the new world" in a video game and was pretty sure it was on Civ I... I missed ! I have to check more !
But that was a pleasant video to listen, thanks !
So much memories...
Oh... God.... A good time
I absolutely love Ey Ukhnem's inclusion as the Russian theme. It fits a bit better than Kalinka in Civilization VI.
Love this video

18:20 очень глубинные вот этот дух, очень глубинные эгрегоры
20:16 my favorite egypt theme
Sid Meier mola
China music 🎵🎶 💕 17:23
La sección áurea es la proporción entre planetas, según tengo entendido
19:20 Pierre Gasly
My fav track in the soundtrack along Beethoven's Funeral March (the game over theme) and it could be not other than the anthem of the mighty France!
Wow Civ with Roland MT-32 oh wow!
Keep going!
6:32 is actually Alexander the Great while 8:44 is Caeser
timing error, edited.
It's :
- 5:50 Alexander
- 8:44 Caesar
11:24 is the best
Thank you. Is the music played during "Civil Disorder" simply chunks of "Evolution?"
I think so, yeah
Does music play like this during map gameplay or only during intro and special screens? I've only got Ad-Lib and General MIDI.
rootbeer666 it plays at the same moments as the adlib/soundblaster/GM versions : intro, kings encouters, wonders, city builds...
Ps @barbarianbros how did you get hold of this and in what form?
Microprose released a few 'jukebox' for playing music from their games :
Civilization
Darklands
Pirates! Gold
F14 Fleet Defender.
The Civjuke.exe program was included with some re-releases of the game, and was also available on Microprose's BBS then Microprose's FTP.
I only recorded the MT-32 music :
Civjuke.exe in Dosbox, sending music data to my MT-32 through a MIDI-USB interface (Roland UM-One MkII), Roland MT-32 sound output linked to the 'line-in' minijack of my PC, line-in sound recorded with Audacity.
@@barbarianbros *very* nice job
I hadn't heard these this way since, literally, Briggs played them for me about 30 years ago.
I think of the second half of the theme as being vaguely John Adams-y. By far my favorite thing I've heard by Jeff Briggs. I'm sure there's a huge amount more I haven't heard though...
💗🙏🏼
what the hell happened to the video?!
Aspect ratio correction... stretched the video to 4/3 when the game was intended to a 16/10 display.
why did they use a French song for the English? Just because it sounds snobby?
Hahahahahahahsha
Pangea
The music is womderful but the game is a difficult and boring crap. I like only Mega Lo Mania in the genre of simulation. I played it on Amiga.
