Almost crying... this Cinemaware's masterpiece and his amazing soundtrack made me a "pc nerd" a long, long time ago... and still I am and I remember! Thank you so much!!!!
Wow!!Bravo!!! Amazing! ... even all the doubled notes and effects, so well done! I requested this at my wedding and my father wrote and performed arrangements. Defender of the Crown was a wonderful game soundtrack.
Absolute amazing the interpretation on piano. It could only toped with an orchestrated version. My favourite C64 game of my childhood in the 80s, child memories come up.
Just coming here months later to listen to this whole playthrough and show my appreciation! Such incredible talent playing all of this. very complicated left and right hand technique, challenging timing. I would think that the writers never intending this to be played on piano.
What!? I'm just finding out 30+ years later about the trembling saxon maid! This cut scene must have been removed in from my pirated copy of the game. My 15 year old self weeps for the images lost!
Simply genius! It wasn't until I watched and listened to the 3rd tune with that bass line that I heard (to me) echoes of the Vince Guaraldi Trio. You performed it so brilliantly.
One of my favourites. Thanks for all your hard work! I know the better version was on the Amiga but please add the music from the Faery Tale Adventure to your list
It sounds so fresh and vibrant ... Clever trills and ornaments ... Can anyone recommend composer / music of comparable style? It sounds pre-Bach. ... But still more sophisticated than renaissance era music ... Really, really impressive for a modern composer to create something so fresh and skilful and emulate a historical musicology from maybe 400 years ago - great to hear more of this style if people have recommendations. 🙂
A great score well interpreted! I shouldn’t have listened to it though due to emotional entanglements (my best friend loved this game so much! Then he became party leader of a fascist party :-( )
I was always a massive fan of the graphics, but this just shows how utterly important music is in video games. I loved every second of this.
Nice and you even dressed the part. All you need is a fair maiden at your side
I loved the game and the music when I was a kid. Im 50 now, and I played the game last year and loved it again. This video made my day!
Incredible.. most epic game score ever in my opinion!
Agreed.

This game soundtrack is very authentic I think. It sounds very knightly. It could adapted to a medieval knight movie. A masterpiece.
Please tell me you recorded it and posted it somewhere
Bad ass! 😀
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂video game soundtrack at the wedding means all your kids will be legendary gamers
Ha, that love scene made me feel all funny inside as a kid XD. I remember all the songs!

The best c64 piano piece back in the day. Great job Paul
Absolutely amazing, thanks for this trip down memory lane!
I was alternately beaming and laughing. This is awesome. The very soundtrack of my childhood.
This made me smile for six straight minutes.
Knocked it out of the ball park again -- well done!
For its time this game was really amazing. And hard as hell on higher levels.

I love that you play this so heavy on the keys, it's definitely in the spirit of the work.

The fact that you dressed for the part is the icing on the cake! ✌😃

Absolutely wonderful!.. Great job, dear sire..

That would be great! I also wish for Supremacy! And you could choose to dress up like Wotok, Smine, Krart or Rorn :-)
loved it, great view btw
Long live the Amiga days. Thank you for this. It was a treat.
Magnificent!
Cool! Well done.

I love this! I only wish the game over music were here as well
Brilliant!

Glad you liked it! You may be interested in Jim Cuomo’s other compositions. mediapressmusic.com/composers/cuomo-james/
This is Amazing! Can we have the score?
Of course! musescore.com/user/2891181/scores/940826
Track 3 is difficult to play!
I think the only way to do this better is maybe playing it on a cembalo
What a genius!! Thank you!!!
great! make Zak mckraken's intro please!
Added to the list! Now I just need to find the right hat...
@@RetroPianoGuy Don't forget to bring Sushi! . . oh, and remember near the end... "I think I feel a song comin' on... no wait, it's just gas."
Was a good game. Although you had to act fast to win which meant the game didn't last very long.
A great score well interpreted! I shouldn’t have listened to it though due to emotional entanglements (my best friend loved this game so much! Then he became party leader of a fascist party :-( )
No you did not😅!!!!
you are Amazing this is my childhood
Bravo!
