Thanks for all the kind comments about my music on this game... I composed all the music on an AMIGA A1200 using NoiseTracker v2.0 if I remember correctly. ;)
CoLD SToRAGE Official The intro logo music was MIDI based though - I composed that using a Korg 01R/W. No Rick Wakeman in this version of Microcosm. ;)
The music was a masterpiece, start to finish. Are you aware of the "hidden" music that was on the Sega CD version of the game? It wasn't found in the game itself, but if you put the game disc into a normal CD player, there were like 6 tracks that you couldn't hear otherwise. I always like that music too, and thought it was a brilliant easter egg that took advantage of the CD system. I've always wondered if there was a story behind it.
I will never forget just how much systems like the Sega-CD blew me away! The high level of graphics, the live acted FMVs, and the impressive audio tracks really took me aback. I remember playing Lunar: The Silver Star for the Sega CD and just being flabbergasted at the animated cutscenes as well as the voice over work. It's hard to have feelings like this in the modern world of gaming.
that doesn't make all modern games impressive, God of War '18 and that upcoming OD from Kojima anyone? every generation will have it's goods and bads, it's part of life don't let nostalgia override your senses, otherwise you'll get blind
I agree! Even though the FMV was terrible, it was definitely exciting to see the push into what has become more or less a standard. I wish I could go back to how it felt to experience games like this for the first time.
The Mega-CD is such a misunderstood and also quite underrated system. It was made with some interesting perspectives and provided both great technical features and great games! Also many people seem to forget, or they simply don't know, that the Mega-CD is a CD-based hardware *extension* released in 1991 for the Mega Drive console which was released in 1988. So we are in 4th gen territories here unlike the Amiga CD32 or 3DO which are full 5th gen systems. Even some magazines back then were stupid enough to compare the Mega-CD with the Amiga CD32! But the funny thing is that, even doing so, the Mega-CD still holds up pretty well like here with Microcosm or actually does better as with Chuck Rock or Flink.
psyance It wasn't the greatest, but I've always respected it. Between Microcosm, Lunar, Snatcher, Vay and its rendition of the Terminator, it had some gems. Also, if you can into it, Dune was a decent enough port of the Pc/Amiga original. And if you can forgive the horrendous load times, its port of Secret of Monkey Island is very enjoyable.
Loved the very innovative trance music and color in this game. Forgot about the opening cinematics (especially the Woody Allen sound-a-like doctor :) and how, nearly 20 years ago, very few games, especially on the consoles, had employed live-action, 3-D images, and "real" music. It was an exciting time to be a gamer and they're good memories.
I really enjoy the Sega CD chip tunes in this game, particularly the first brain level and final boss. I'm curious how much advantage the Sega CD sound hardware has over the standalone Genesis because if I were to guess its miles ahead.
I know what my best friend is gonna say when they see this. "Are we inside a black guy?" I mean, does it make any difference what ethnicity the patient is? They're not being racist, they just have a fetish for the insides of people's bodies and at the same time are attracted to black men. I will say though that this game reminds me of the episode of Super Friends where Superman and Wonder Woman travelled inside Aquaman. They too were in a vein.

Dude the music made this whole thing for me. Masterful stuff.

I don't suppose you have that audio? If I could hear it, I may very well know it's history. ;o)
I'll pull out the game tonight, and rip the songs and share some clips with you. Thanks a ton!

Boy, I sure loved playing this game on my Sega CD!
What?! 🤨🤦♂️

Great music in this game, and somehow the graininess of the opening FMV just adds to the Cyberpunk atmosphere.
yep absolutely

I don't think anyone forgets or doesn't know that the Mega CD is a Mega Drive add-on, sorry.
Yeah, sure, whatever you say brat, ok... 🤨🤦♂️🤫
@@fabio78 They actually do most people think that it is its own console and not part of the Mega Drive unlike the Turbo grafx CD add on.
Oh no! Superman's been defeated by Giant Dizzy Gillespie!
LMAO! Are you aware of the Super Friends episode "Journey Through Inner Space"?
That intro looks great. Reminds be a bit of the opening scenes in John Carpenter's Escape From New York.
タウンズマーティ版があの当時にしちゃ恐ろしく美麗なグラフィックだったから期待した人も多かったと思うなあ・・・。まぁメガＣＤの性能じゃあ仕方がない。

I've been looking for this game my whole adult life. Brilliant
In my opinion, this plays much better than the 3DO version. The music is a lot better here than in the 3DO one, too.
thepirategamerboy12 Many thanks! I appreciate the kind words. ;)
Two years late, but I agree. The 3DO version is too fast and unfair; IIRC I've finished both versions, but the 3DO version was a massive headache.
4:49 Gentlemen, slow to the good doctor.
Cut it a little close on that second chase section, didn't ya? XD
32:22
That "M" in Grey's forehead...
Does it stand for "Majin"?
The Amiga cd 32 versions music sounds completely badass compared to this
not only does it sound better then the sega cd but it also looks alot better to 😃😀 but sega cd has a charm to it :)
Maybe the CD32 had the edge visually, but the gameplay is better on Mega CD.
6:35 I'm not a doctor or anything, but by the looks of things I recommend that you get your colon checked.
this is what butt cancer treatment will look like in 40 years
Only if it were done to David Hayter.

This is like Sewer Shark.

Thanks much for the interesting info.
Wow, and all this was inside my body.
Great!
Germ warfare comes to mind.
I think your English is pretty good bro. Good vocabulary :)
The soundtrack was composed by Rick Wakeman, or so I've read.
Only for the FM Towns version, and only for the credits. The soundtrack for this version is by Tim Wright.
@@AssociationAdmirer Just to let you know I'm reading even if that was commented 10 years ago.
Since when did veins and arteries have stalactites?
Go to the most supernatural transcending area, be the most superlative transcendent existing.

These Sega cd games are brilliant just that they don't have our present day technology...
Fantastic intro. How did they manage to transform pixel art graphics into a live movie?
I wish I had the Grey M boss music, can't get it outside of game.
I managed to cut the audio portion out but sound effects included :| lol

Wtf are u saying bro
@@muke392 This is outdated bro
Do we know what Tiron Korsby looks like?? Hopefully he's hot...
Game was hard as hell. So many cheap shots
what emulator was this played on? it doesn't work on kega fusion for some reason
It's terrible on the CD32 - I used to have it, only played it a few times
Looks cool, how does it play, well bad???
What vein ?
Silpheed did the "2D shmup with lovely FMV Backgrounds" waaaaaaayyy better than this.
@y2k4ever1
Used to have this exact version. It's....not that great at all to play, the controls are really a big issue.
05:06 are theses guys gays?
You need to work on your Engrish
what the fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
@emiliof20 looks like poo!
In my opinion, The Mega CD (PAL)'s music is Better
Rez ante litteram anyone?
Look at those shitty horrible graphics. PS4 has better graphics and better games. 😎
Jaja, this game is shit! Look at those horrible graphics! Come on! PS3 has better games! 😎
Shit bait, try harder.
Wow🤣 max 16 colors
