Ultima Online Soundtrack (Sound Blaster AWE64 [AWE32 Synth])
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ม.ค. 2017
- Here we start 2017 off with another computer video. I don't think that anyone has done this before. The sound card is the Creative Sound Blaster AWE64 Value CT4520. This card uses the Creative CT8920-NBQ chip as well as the Creative CT1972-UAS (Creative EMU8011-01) which is a later revision of the Creative CT1971-PCQ (Creative EMU8000) chip that was used on the AWE32.
Played in DOSMid V0.8 using the AWE32 Synth built into the AWE64's EMU8000 chip and recorded with the Creative Sound Blaster X-FI ExtremeMusic Sound Card. That hiss you are hearing is coming from the AWE64 Value. For a sound card that went for $100 US back in 1996-1997, I am impressed compared to the Roland Sound Canvas SC-55. No extra audio effects other than EQ have been added. I have enabled Creative 3D Stereo Environment in the settings through MS-DOS Mode under Windows 98 SE in order to expand the spaciousness of sounds in a traditional two-speaker system.

pls
Update after 6 years! Awesome, would be great
Would be epic!
Would bê awesome
Even a tease at that is enough to get my Sub.
20 years later I'm still waiting for an online game that makes me feel like this one made me felt.
Maybe it was because we were kids
UO Outlands. You're welcome.
30 years here. I remember a buddy of mine brought a burned CD to school with it and told me to install it, then sent me shard info on AOL. J
People who weren’t there when this was cutting edge and new can’t possibly understand how mind blowing it was to load up for the first time and see 30 other real people doing their own thing at the bank
/hide /sneak /steal "GUARDS" *You are Dead*
Exactly. My 13 year old self was blown away.
It was a second job a second life and a wealth of time killing.
Couldn’t agree more with this ❤❤❤
This. Miss it.
We were the mercenaries. We were the mages. We were the tamers, the tanners, the tactics. We WERE Ultima Online. Be present and be proud of that. THIS soundtrack is a lifetime of memories compressed into an hour. For those who were there, we salute you. x
Amen brotha!
GM blacksmith/mage here! I owned a large forge by Wrong! So much fun. My smith was also a mage to recall away from the pk's .. lol. Tough choice on what to drop when the changes came but ended up making a new mage since that was easier than getting another guy to GM smith.
@@ithakra It was so cool how you could have a place in the game, without microtransactions. The age of innocence
Im stil playing..
some of us are still there. Some of us are new beginners who just joined. Ultima Online, Atlantic server is still alive and kicking, pretty busy.
Tears. This game was everything to me between 1997-1999. In it, I had everything that I didn't have in real life. Friends whom I cherished and who cherished me, cozy home, a sense of adventure, exploration and purpose.
1997 - 2005

@@chuthao6303 I was there, great lakes and lake superior! Cheers we may have crossed paths at brit bridge

that ONE and ONLY house under East Britain bank was mine and also the boat below the house in the water too :)
@@chuthao6303 wow I oddly remember that!
After UO, not a single MMORPG gave me so much fun,joy and excitement. I played lots of games and for a lot of time, but my heart still remains in UO. I know if I start playing it now, I Wont have same feelings like I used to and its sad. Just remember every fight you had and if you die you literally loose all your gear and stuff in backpack and back then it was ok, nowadays imagine loosing all raid gear in Wow.
As someone who never played UO but played RS in 2007 and then OSRS in 2020, you won't get the same exact feelings, but they'll be there and you will notice them. Tinges of good memories when you hear an old tune, sound effect, or see the region you saw many years ago. Definitely worth playing again if you had those feelings before and since you already know how to play it, it'll be as easy as relearning to ride a bike again.
Man.. the fear you knew of someone running at you in a ghost cloak.. knowing they had nothing to lose, and probably some mandrake in their pocket ready to Port Or you into oblivion.
The satisfying CLANG of hitting with a Halberd.
And the crafty schemes of some folks.. our guild would run around all dressed the same and some rando would run away from us towards a larger group claiming we were PKers and try to coax them into attacking us so he could "get his stuff back"
That's why the game wouldn't require a huge time investment. You could get your gear back fairly quickly in most cases.
i rage quit many times
It's true, because we get older, and our frames of references are always changing. What once was previously unknown to us emotionally and intellectually as a child or adolescent is now known to us as adults. However, just because you won't get the same exact feelings doesn't mean you shouldn't entertain the idea of returning. Like a veteran mercenary jaded and growing unphased by his newer encounters through years of trial and tribulation, you can experience the world through an entirely new viewpoint!
GM Steele here..... god these songs take me back... like another life
I remember making my character, coming up with a name. Then just getting plopped into the world...figure it out. Find your way, there was no guide, there was no tutorial, you just poked around through menus and wandered and explored a world you have never been in before to this magnitude. Slowly you carved out a personality and an identity for yourself. You became a miner, a blacksmith, a tamer. It was seemingly endless.
To this day... there is not a single game, that can fill the place of UO in my heart. So many incredible memories, friendships, that became real life friendships. Big part of the people in my life, I met because of UO, whether they directly played it, or were just friends of friends I played UO with. I can say, I met my current fiancee because of UO, because my friend I used to play UO with, had a girlfriend, and she was her friend. So I probably wouldnt have met her if it wasnt for UO. Truly amazing times and memories, when I hear the soundtrack I feel very emotional and nostalgic!
first time i got ganked by 4 PK in the cave near Magincia,or the first Gazer interaction....cutting trees,looting feathers think im gonna log for a few hours Provoking Titan and Cyclopean Warrior
you can still play man, it's free to play right now on OSI servers
Its bitter sweet to listen to these knowing my son will never experience such a game and that I can never go back. Truly a different time of gamers. Before the Dark Times. Before the Empire.
To be honest somehow the opening soundtrack is the most magical and relaxing soundtrack ever created :)
Reminds me of the installation
Stones is a beautiful piece of art.
I dearly miss this era of gaming, it was definitely magical.
I'd kill to find this experience again now..
Good luck :)
I felt like that for a long time. Finally found the magic in art and I am absolutely never going to let it slip away again.
@@boooo6789 art? As in painting?
I remember discovering Ultima 8 when I was 12 and fell in love with it. When Ultima Online came out, I was 14, I reserved a copy and bought it. Within a week my entire circle was playing it. It still has a special place in my heart, I only played for a few years, never really played any other games after that. I still remember staying up the first few weeks mining ore in Minoc, then losing all the armour I made because the dial up internet cut out and an Ettin got me. Frustrating but still fun as hell.
Even though it's not a part of the music, I can hear the chopping of wood and the mining of ore anytime I listen to this music. So many memories tied into these songs.
I hear the failed spell fart noise 🤣
To me the sounds of killing those damned harts.
At the age of 13, I slaughtered thousands of men, innumerable hordes of creatures and demons, ghouls and dragons. I amassed great wealth, power and skills of a Grand Master, I had a villa that overlooked the jungle... I died many deaths in a single lifetime. I was reborn and reborn again. I have seen much and have lived as a God. Now, I am 30. And looking to life to fulfill me, nevermore.
Man, this makes my eyes tear up lol. No one these days can appreciate what an amazing world UO was.
The only real role playing mmo, man, i'll never be a beggar again and have that fun.
UO was amazing until the whole Carebear split thing.
there are still some shards going strong if you want to dive in again!
Guys, im too young, I couldt enjoy UO as you did but the Ultima games still were my childhood.. please can you share more memories I love to read this
We can
Vesper was our guild HQ town. Our colors were purple and black. The sounds and the music are more real than half of my "in real life" childhood.
Cactus Jack?
Order of the Final Ecplise? Atlantic?
@@mafghine Bringers of Light (BL) - Napa Valley
This was a special, special game that delivered an experience like no other I've ever had in the 20+ years since this game game out. This game was magic, plain and simple, and I doubt anything like that will ever be created again.
Me too. Probably my best overall gaming experience. I played in high school in the late 90s early 2000s. I miss it. I played on the Baja shard.
So many memories.... Stones2 is my favourite UO music. Flashbacks, i can still hear the how the bank ''squeak''
I miss these sandbox simple MMO's with big dreams, everything is ruined by power gamers.
same, and Trinsic also
Decades later, UO soundtracks calm me. I keep coming back to them. Sometimes play then when I sleep.
I want to make my bow to the very best game of my childhood, this is gonna be a long one.
I dont really remember what age i had at the moment that my brother gave me his account with a shitty ass character, i probably was 8-10 years old, maybe less.
I remember been super hooked to stone2 song, man i love that song. I was so little and didnt had any clue of anything, but this game man, this game got me hooked instantly: the music, the landscape, the unknown... oh boy the unkown.. those emotion were pretty damn big for me
Everything was so emotionally new.. taming horses, collecting cotton, fishing, mining, blacksmithing, magic spells, fist fighting, swordmanship.. the list was virtually endless.. the tryhard mode to upgrade those skills... dude you could even make a god damn HOUSE, are you serious?? you could fucking own a piece of this virtual world... this game surely made me a really curious man.
I dont really understand how they could made this game so immersive, so beautiful, so full of life, i mean, 1997 dude, the only thing i know is that those developers must had loved this game more than any of us players combined, just imagine the time taken to build those maps, the entire world, the playability man, those endless frightening ever stronger creatures, its just a miracle, i learned about life, about gettin tryhard on things, i used to collect logs, one by one upgrading that lumberjacking 0.1% at a time, that taught me to have respect and patience to the due process, and that if you want to master anything.. man that takes time, effort, frustration and a lot of damn repetition.. but if you are determined enough and willing to put in the time, you are going to see some results.. then i tinkered those logs into blank scrolls, lol added value theory in a nutshell.. someone told me that he could pay me a salary for them, a 8-10 years old boy with a salary, man i felt so grown up LOL, i put the time and effort into it, because hey, someone was willing to pay me for my job! but that man was the first dude that scammed me, i didnt know that you could sell those blank scrolls to the npc for a higher price (because obviously not all npc bought them, besides me being so naive), the guildmaster of that dude told me, i felt so robbed man, was literally months of paychecks, hahaha.. i still remember his nickname, it was NabucodonosoR, he felt sorry for me and let me join his guild, XandeR was the mf that scammed me, but no hard feelings, after all hey, we were guildmates with a fucking gigantic castle on the middle of the snow going on wild guild adventures... it is so beautiful seeing back, how this fucking awesome game created a world for all of us, that rush of adrenaline right in your heart when someone were about to murder you, felt so real, then you lost all the things that you have worked for.. it took me a while to know how to use the bank so those losses were unnecesarily painful LOL.
I remember that we used to have that shitty ass internet, where you had to choose between being hooked on the internet or the telephone, both wasnt an option, my parents used to nagged me so much because i literally played this game all day long with so much joy. i had so many friends on ultima, it made me loss some "real life friends" at that age, but i put the quotes because i never felt this any less REAL.... thank you all for making this game so beautiful, love you all man.. THANKS to you Michael.. for uploading those memories on my brain again and that hell of a ride to the past (:
I robbed entire UO houses while enjoying this soundtrack. So many memories of unfettered mayhem.
2 of my uncles would tell me the craziest stories about UO at almost every family gathering, i liked the ones about them taming dragons together.
UO was more than a game. It was a life style. I was living in Britain and fighting on the bridge. Sometimes i made crime and sometimes fought it. It was more fulfilling than real life.
Remember the first day you played. It was like real world, wasn’t it? My best friends are still from UO. Nobody will understand what we feel when we listen to this. Especially the new generation...
I remember my exact first 5 minutes, December 1997, chose Atlantic because that was the best ping a European could get. Started in Britain, walked out the inn and saw a wolf. Attacked it and got guard whacked because it was tamed and I had no clue wtf I was doing :) So many good memories though; absolutely a once in a lifetime experience that I think can't be repeated unless the internet somehow goes away and gets reinvented a couple decades later.
Delta V I found a silver viking sword on the ground while somebody were talking each other, then I took it, ran and waited hidden for 1-2 hours since I supposed it is a unique ultra powerful thing. It must be a GM sword or something, they could ban me for stealing it.
@@dai_ko_myo That kind of naivety is exactly why I think the experience can't be recreated since all the information is at our fingertips now and people will figure the in's and out's within a couple of hours. I suppose UO had it's share of powergamers and optimal strategies that got published online, but it still all felt a lot more innocent than any MMO experience I've had since.
My first day. I was so confused and I was killed by a dog.
I died to mongbat lol
To have been there, and had the joy of playing this when it was still new, and fresh is a privilege. I know I cannot go back, and that the gaming world will never go back to this.
What happened to you, Golden Age of MMORPGs?
Warcraft. Warcraft happened.
It was 1997 - 2000, the dimly lit smoked filled computer room, the whirring of the cpu fan that was slightly off balance, bags of junk food around me, my wife telling me it was time to come to bed, but I was too focused on staking out the lower levels of dungeon Shame to PK noobs and plunder their corpses to hear her. It was magical and it was good. It is probably a good thing I left when they porked it in 2000 or my marriage would have ended. Listening to this music brings back a myriad of memories. Thanks!!!
The fact that there is dust on the card makes it even better :D
That's the seasoning
I almost cried. Best my youth gaming memories. Fuck CS, Fuck DOTA.
hours, days, spent in great world of britan.
I started playing Life Is Feudal:MMO, if we exclude 3d, 70% of the mechanics are 100% same as the old "sphere" type UO. I love it now, but its not the same.
Thank you for the great midi, i will share it with my friends, i know they will hardly hold a tear of joy and nostalgy.
2019 and very often I still work listening to this whole soundtrack. It gives me focus and peace of mind =)
:( 2019 ve ben hala özlüyorum

I remember the first time playing this game and went into the forest to explore and saw an Orc thinking I can fight it, boy that was a bad idea.
Or: a deer.
I think my family paid extra for a premium awe creative sound card back in the day. Back in the Gateway store, remember that? With the little cow hide symbol on the computer. I’m glad we did. Money well spent.
Listening to this again after so many years, and now grown up, I can hear melodies from English folk songs like John Barleycorn, and The Agincourt Carol, something that I didn't notice when playing the game over two decades ago, but now it's going to keep me coming back to listen again.
Thanks for this wonderful upload.
Man hearing Moonglow again kills. I miss this old game so much. I have an old Soundblaster card sitting on my shelf :)
Play Ultima Online Outlands. I felt the same way you did but Outlands is such an awesome UO server.
The devs did an amazing job completely releasing a brand new map and although I miss parts of the old map
I still have a blast on this server. Been playing it for a year now. I'm actually macroing as I type this comment.
www.uooutlands.com Trust me.
I play on UO Forever, felucca ruleset with some of the new stuff.
I always tear up when I hear the first song. I awe everytime how great of a game this is and was back in launch. The slow pace with skill gains did not feel forced and took months to GM a single skill and it didn't feel bad at all. Nowdays games die within first month cause there is nothing to do.
00:17:18 I started as a lumberjack in Yew back then. Memories...
Minoc hits me hard. I played T2A a bunch of times at a friend's house when I was 11 or 12 before getting it myself. We spent our noob days in Minoc, hitting up Covetous and killing wandering healers for gold. Played retail through AoS. Incredible memories.
Many memories sneaking downstairs at 2am booting up the computer, hiding the loud modem under my shirt to conceal the loud connecting noise and start up this magnificent game just so that I could get in some easy mining in the Brit pass without getting pk'd. I miss you Chesapeake!
This brings back memories, trying to hide my UO addiction from my parents after they'd gone to bed. I'm sure they knew though, the phone bill must have shown the 2-hour long calls in the early hours of the morning...
This is where our precious memories lies, dusty and slowly fading away.
I played on Europa from 98 until about 2002. My main characters were Weaselmode and WeaselmodeII :)
I just started playing this game about a day ago. The music.... what can I say. I think I've never heared such beautiful music in an MMORPG for a long long time. I'm really excited to play this game and see what it offers. Until now it is very unique and a completely new experience.
how was it?
This is so nostalgic that makes me wanna cry.
1997 was a beautiful year. Catskills pride~
Heck ya catskills ruled!
Because the card had onboard ram memory and the ability to load and store custom sound font sample sets, (and Ultima online took advantage of this) A games music composer could specify and create a unique custom wavetable of sound samples that matched there artistic presentation intensions they where not stuck with the generic bank of standard Midi samples sounds.
I had a SBLive which used wavetable synth but read from the hdd. I never found a game that used it outside of the standard 125 midi voices though. I never played UO.
We all were in so much pain as kids and found solace in UO. Cheers friends.
I lived in Moonglow because of the music 😁.
vendor buy the guards a bank
i remember all the funny different variations of these
'Vendor buy a bank or the guards will recdu your recsu!' was the one I used from t2a onward.
I ban thee
Recsu recdu
i almost cry listening. Very good job
Ahhh. Take me back. Please take me back. I don't belong in a corporate controlled internet world. I wanna go back to the wild west. I wanna go back!!! We didn't appreciate what we had. Napa Valley soldiers. I salute you!!
Please blow the dust off that card. It serves the divine now, and dust is hurting it. We will want this music 300 years from now.
using a canned of compressed air, of course, and not a moist and spitty mouth!
I think the dust on the Sound Blaster Card adds an additional layer of nostalgia.
Thanks.
programming has increased by 0.1% it is now ... i love work with this "video".
This brings back so many beautiful childhood memories..
Ultima, the best part of the 90s (for me at least). Some people have nintendo, zoomies have ps/xbox, but no one talks about the glory days of 90s pc games.
Ah, that's the stuff! So many years spent in the wilderness of Britannia, but it has past away beyond all recognition from my day.RIP, classic UO!
There are still free shards around with the classic UO feel and with players. Check it out!
7x GM. still best accomplishment in my life.
Great memories ..... I miss those days.
I am not crying...You are!!!!
They need to remake and release this game exactly how it was.
From a time when games were about freedom and fun.
This music stills gives me chills when i hear it. Good memorys of playing all night, sleep couple hours, then keep playing :)
I remember when all that mattered each day was when I got to get home and play uo. 4 hours sleep no problem!

ULTIMATE NOSTALGIC!
AWE + UO !~

Para ganking....I should be ashamed of myself but it was just so much fun!
Ah good old Minoc - as it was intended.. and remembered. :D
@manicniceguy lol, Ultima Online at it's purest.
love the zoom in to the chip. God bless the Sound Blaster.
Played as Blackarrow on Europa shard. No other MMO (pre-trammel) could touch the experience UO gave us. DAoC was the only other MMO that was fun. All others lost their luster the moment they never measured up. Now prepare yourselves for we are in the last years of the Fig Tree generation. Christ is Lord. Feast of Trumpets is the time no man knows the day or hour.
wow, this sure brings back memories
Ultima online is truly a metaverse
new character, grinding in the GY... fight is going well, and then..

懐かしい人生の一つであった。
淋しい音楽に聞こえてしまいますね
I was having a bad day until this came up. Pure bliss 😎
This is beautiful and brings back so many memories…
THIS MADE ME ALL WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE
I think sailing stands out the most for me. Everything was so real in the game but when I got that first boat... set sail from Moonglow to this mystery snow covered Island to the North... I'll never forget that moment.
oh I got my first boat because someone gave me a blessed item deed, no idea what is was but some other generous player traded me a boat for it.... real nice
I think I've heard this story before - maybe I read it three months ago or have you maybe told it somewhere else?
@@Kettles147 yeah me lol I've posted it on a bunch of uo videos
Been gaming for 35 years and this still holds up as one of the ONLY GAMES I didn't mute the music for.
I'm looking to get my hands on all the sound effect files for this game so I can make a custom beat via
samples from Ultima Online but I'm not sure how to access all the sound effects. I know how to access
the music files but none of the sound fx. If anyone has or can get me the sound effects for the game it
would be awesome if you could email them over to me!
There was a program called insideUO that let you access all the sound effects
Can someone put this sound track on Spotify so we all can listen to it anywhere? This is me requesting it in 2021.
This takes me back to all of the wild west charm and fear that was my UO experience. The thrill of being hunted by rando Dread Lords, succeeding a Hide check and then murdering them with energy bolts and provoked monsters has never been matched.
Thank you.
Flashbacks of running as a ghost to the healers in Britannia...
Well done. The original version of the game themes bring back some very fond memories.
I remember playing this at my dad's friend's house when I was very young. I played on her account and didn't really know what I was doing, but the game seemed awesome. Ever since then, I wanted to play it. So shortly after that I bought UO at a store somewhere but didn't know I had to pay for a subscription (we were kinda poor) so I never ended up playing it. However, I now own all the Ultima games on GOG and I want to eventually get around to playing through all of them! The music in these games is so good.
Ah, nostalgia!
Thanks for making/uploading this.
this music, oh god... i remember when i played UO, unfortunately never on official server as i couldnt really speak english, i played on several free czech servers, one was based on Lord of the rings, thats where i began when i was 9... another was RP server, still sometimes return to that, another one was really small server with no skill cap, lot of high dungeons based around small parties, also server i liked back to return, unfortunately that one was closed 5 years ago now, still sometimes remember that server, i was way young that, i still remember small guild i was part on, i still remember when GM dropped event on us and i was one of the first to crack it and lead my guildies to one of the island where we got awesome treasure
Thanks a lot for this! A real gift for all of us who lived a meaningful part of our lives in Britannia!
Exact sound setup I used at that time...ah the memories
Was searching for Ultima sound tracks and stumbled across your channel. Have a lot of great content and I feel my weekend will be filled. Thanks for sharing
The OG RuneScape before RuneScape was a thing
Thank you for posting this. I had a Roland SC-7 when UO was released and it's nice to hear how it sounded on the AWE64.
I miss UO and my guild on Demise. Fun times. I actually rejoined on an official shard and a big guild years back to try to relive those years but it was just not the same. Some good times simply can't be recreated.
Bellissimi ricordi quando giocavo a Ultima Online su Venus bei tempi..
playing them synced with my sc-88 they compliment each other well.
I listen to this all the time. Thanks for uploading it.
The sound quality is excellent, a lot better than other video uploads. Thanks for sharing this with us!
for those interested a new seige perilous style server just opened up about 2 weeks ago and its lively.
OMG, so happy I found this.
I played it the first six months non stop. I dreamed about it for years while it was on beta testing and looked at its website everyday and devoured the news and from other players. I imagined being in that world. After 6 months I quite due to the rampant cheating and bugs, but even decades later, I still get nostalgic thinking of it.
This is the version I remember… oh gees the feels…
Ultima music full of memories.I miss you then
Can't replicate that past... although i don't miss the dial up
Absolutely love this music!
