One of the few reasons I am thankful for the internet. The ability to find other people who were as captivated with games like SkyRoads. You're a modern day Philip Glass dude.
This demands another remake. A properly shot video with clean audio. So awesome to know that there are other people who love this track and took the efforts to make a cover.
I forgot this game's name and went mad looking for it. I feel like I can relax for days now that I've found it. That is how haunting the main theme to Skyroads can be.
Oh man i’m still watching this video in 2024.. it’s just so good. It’s ingrained into my memory. I’ve been coming back to this cover for half my life now! First at 16 now at 30 years old.
I've got a friend who used to be so driven-mad by the addictiveness of the game that I would only need to whistle the first couple bars of this song, and he'd scream and fire up DOSBox so he could get his fix.
It isn't in midi format. Actually a format called oktalyzer. Very dirty sounding compared to midi, but also I think it's because it doesn't rely on an instrument library stored on the system and instead has highly compressed sounds (samples) stored into each file itself, much like the mod file family of music (just -at least in this case- more compressed). In fact I think oktalyzer _is_ a type of mod file.
Hell Yeah! This is awesome! I'm trying to do this in LMMS it's too hard for me :D And yes, this Music is awesome (like the Music of many DOS-Games: Lotus 3 The Ultimate Challenge, Grand Prix Circuit, the Xmas-Version of Skyroads...... too many). Dude, PLEASE gimme some sort of sheet music or digitally (play it on a midi-keyboard and record it). You're playing as well, as the original music. PLEASE!!!
Excellent work dude, the music from that game was awesome. I don't know if you ever played Jill of the Jungle (classic 90s dos game), but I've made a jazz keyboard remix of the opening titles of that...it's on TH-cam if you look up Jill of the Jungle Theme Music Remix.
hey.. nice playing.. do you know who wrote this soundtrack, i've been loking for a name for years, he's a great musician.. by the way, you should also try the softer song, which is my favorite, that goes with A and G all along.. I think it's named "skyroads - road 1 music" here on youtube... keep it going..
I have been watching this video for 10 years now.. pls don’t ever take it down 😭
2020, going on 2021 next month

Skyroads! Ah, what a great game. Still holds up to this day...
I am dreaming... cause music3 was so underrated, I am amazed that somebody played that one :D
Legends still listening to this in 2022
Ten years later I still come back to this. Please don’t ever take this down..

For those who cannot recognize the originals:
Cover 1: Title Theme
Cover 2: Road 8
Cover 3: Road 3
Absolutely one of the most addictive game soundtracks! I love it.
I was commiting suicide until I saw this. There is hope for humanity after all.

Hello past me
goosebumps . damn thanks dude for this
Road 3, so awesome
That's amazingly good, very well done!
Oh my god, your fingers are like, wavy. But seriously, absolutely brilliant cover-remix-thing! I LOVE it!
I've got a friend who used to be so driven-mad by the addictiveness of the game that I would only need to whistle the first couple bars of this song, and he'd scream and fire up DOSBox so he could get his fix.
great job, especially liked the 2nd track you played, that was always one of my favorite songs from the game
That was awesome! your playing is amazing! :D
Could you please do a midi or even just film it from above? I'd really like to learn how to play it....
Although Skyroads soundtrack was in midi format, you could apreciate the fantastic work of art that was going on there. Beautiful.

Well, I have to say, that is very good! And I assume you had to learn it by ear as well. Very good.
Ah! Brings back memories of the good ol' Windows 95 and the free game demo pack!
fantastic bro....
The 3rd song is my fav!
Hell Yeah! This is awesome! I'm trying to do this in LMMS it's too hard for me :D

That's rite! I play piano as well, and I want to know the fingering for the music.

i dont know what you mean with "make it with finale notepad" but could you do a tutorial video for the main theme of SkyRoad... thanks
has anyone found the tabs (guitar) for this?
Thanks, this is great.
This is really cool. Any chance of posting an MP3 version? I got a new phone and finally realised I want this as my ringtone. Your version is perfect!
Save the video and convert it.

GENIO!!!! BRAVO!!! :D

In my opinion, it would've sounded great if you hadn't changed the notes. Sadly, you did. Especially in the beginning.
