I've been playing this game for close to 30 years and I've never heard that game over theme in it. The game over theme at 19:30 is the one that ordinarily plays, followed by the high score theme at 10:54 (which doubles as the ending theme).
@@jamyskis I agree with you. You know there is a mystery in this game which I still remember. Please check out what happens if you are out of time when you are in the chamber with money.
@@roilo8560 No, he is not overrated. I really like how nowadays, you can affirm something without giving any argument to proove you are right (US barbarians from the social medias). Rob Hubbard is a pionneer on the C64 and also in the entire world video game music history (he began in 1984). He had is own specific sound and had a strong musical culture, that you can hear in the melodies and arrangements he made. He had been also copied and covered numerous times either, and inspired most of the greatest that followed. He also wrote classics for other platforms (Atari ST, Amiga, PC, Megadrive). Not many composers on the C64 can compete with him in terms of quality, sounds or arrangements. Hubbard is a main influence in the history of video game music and demoscene music.
The game is worth it, I remember playing it as a kid with some amazing memories. Just listening to the music, I can watch the most vivid memories of me chasing the flashing fly for a bonus.
Brilliant that they managed to get the two level tunes onto just 2 channels and still be great songs, leaving one more channel for sound effects! Too many C64 games were a choice between decent music or sound effects but not both...
16:03 And suddenly I’m back, sat in my childhood best mates kitchen, eating salt and vinegar crisps and he’s trying to teach me not to be so crap at this game 😅
it's probably due to the intro and loader songs being composed by Reyn Ouwehand and the other songs like the levels themes being composed by Johannes Bjerregaard and that these two composers used different music routines. Also the level themes only use 2 channels leaving one channel for SFX.
@@AnnoyedArt1256 didn't know. Tnx. Indeed, if different composers were involved, it turns more natural that they're not sounding the same. And falling down to 2 channels surely didn't helped either (some games only mute the 3rd channel on demand, don't they?)
@@AnnoyedArt1256 ^_^ I know what you mean. That was my biggest disappointment with Warhawk. In Relentless, my bro went for assigning SFX to the 'drums' channel, so you can play an alternate drum by timing your fires :P (iirc)

The intro to Flimbo sounds so much like an 80s movie song, almost inspired by a real song if it's not! Of course it's 80s cause the game is made in 1990, but still has that classic movie intro/credits song feel.
Soundtrack is actually mainly by Johannes Bjerregaard. To my knowledge, Reyn Ouwehand only wrote the Intro - Part 1 and the Loader. So it would be the other way around..

19:21 is apparently a second game over tune according to zophar's domain.
Also the title music is one of my favourites now. :)

Probably one of the best songs ever composed for Commodore64, with Jeroen Tel's ones...
I think you forgot all the work of Rob Hubbard..

Pure gold! I love this soundtrack.
Ahhhh so sweet melodies and memories! Thank You!
The Instrument design by both composers is pretty amazing
Damn this is funky.
RIP Johannes Bjerregaard
Holy shit these songs are amazing! I need to get this game for my C64.

Also 19:30 is just the Game Over Jingle.
Ah, thanks
Happy happy 😊😁
How do you make these Oscilloscope videos?

the level themes seems curiously simple compared to intro and loader songs. Was it to save some CPU time for game logic / gfx ?

Hi, can I request the Teenage Mutant Turtles Tournament Fighters NES OST?
Your request is up! Sorry about the wait; hopefully you didn't forget about it. th-cam.com/video/1VZLtgjpax4/w-d-xo.html
Johannes Bjerregaard has died on 2022-11-02 💔🙏
Would it be possible to do the 128K Spectrum music from Chase HQ which includes the use of the beeper, also if possible the high score table music.
Your request is out! Sorry about the wait. th-cam.com/video/cDgwV5aaXpE/w-d-xo.html
@@acrouzet Just seen your reply, no worries about the wait, I know you have a lot of requests.

I definitively played Flimbo's quest on a C64 with a very different filter than this...
Yeah, a lot of C64s tend to have a lighter filter than this. I just chose the settings which sounded the best to me.
4:23 the classic
Miałem dużo gier na Commodore c64 ❤
Kocham Flimbo❤

You're a God, thank you so much for posting this. In my heart, though, amiga's one is *the* one.
4:24 best part
The intro to Flimbo sounds so much like an 80s movie song, almost inspired by a real song if it's not! Of course it's 80s cause the game is made in 1990, but still has that classic movie intro/credits song feel.
simply the perfect soundtrack. cute, inspired, flawless. don't miss the amiga version as well.
THANKS FLIMBO!
Masterpiece ever
Ending is the best
Its so upbeat i love it ahhhhh
Super! :)
Loved playing this with my best mate on the c64 back in the day, brilliant soundtrack especially 17:29 onwards.
Sounds like cartoon music from the 90s, rad.
Soundtrack is actually mainly by Johannes Bjerregaard. To my knowledge, Reyn Ouwehand only wrote the Intro - Part 1 and the Loader. So it would be the other way around..
Why every one of these tunes sound so, SO familiar?
Well, turns out, I used to play a Tetris clone on Miniclip that had the first part of the intro as the level 1 music. Does anyone else remember it? 🙂
When I first this video, I thought Flimbo's Quest would be about the Flintstones, but it's an innocent "child"
I will buy a bottle of wine for anyone who shows me where is in Flimbo a game over tune starts from 19.21! I have never heard it!
It doesnt - That Game Over theme was an unused one. I dont drink wine though, so you can keep the bottle for yourself :D
