I really enjoyed this game, heck, sometimes I still play it. I'm still waiting for Reunion II which should have been relased "early 1995"!!! There are many funny things about this game, but the funniest one was when the population of a planet would drop when they weren't happy, even by something as silly as not having a stadium on that planet. Considering the population doesn't goes anywhere else basically I assumed they commited mass suicide because they didn't had a local sports stadium.
@@witold2329 I remember reading a very old magazine about 15/20 or so years ago where Imperium Galactica 3 was supposed to involve an Earth force fleeing from an AI that took control of Earth and the objective of the game was to return to Earth and conquer it but you had to build up your power base.. sounded a lot like Reunion's plot in a lot of ways (psychic alien mind controls Earth and forces you into exile to return in force). Apparently the stuff of that game when it looked like development was in trouble ended up being turned into Nexus: The Jupiter Incident which didn't really make much of an impact.
Reunion, also known as Merit's Galactic Reunion, is a space strategy video game. It was the Hungarian game developer company Amnesty Design's (now Digital Reality) first game.[citation needed] The game was programmed by János Kistamás, Krisztián Jámbor, and Attila Lendvai (Amiga), István Kiss (DOS). The soundtrack was made by Tamás Kreiner[1] which was the basis of his reputation. Tamás Kreiner entered the world of music when he established his company, Amnesty Design in 1991. He soon began work on several successful solo musical projects, including the soundtrack for the game Reunion,[1] which was the basis of his reputation. After many years, Amnesty Design evolved to Digital Reality,[1] where Kreiner has composed scores for Imperium Galactica and the great hit sequel, Imperium Galactica II: Alliances.[1] During these years Kreiner pioneered the use of combining old and new musical technologies and expanded his experience in both composing and sound designing, which later has granted him great reputation in the industry. In 2000, he received the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award (Best Original Game Music) for his work on Imperium Galactica II.[2]
Да, не думаю, что много народу поиграли в нее и прониклись, но кому она попалась, тому запала на всю жизнь. 12 минут вступление. Гениальный и огромный саундтрек. Смешение жанров РПГ, космической стратегии (где был и менеджмент ресурсов и строительство и развитие колоний и примитивная, но все же боевка на земле и в воздухе и развитие технологий) и сюжетного приключения.

Мне нет :( всегда сталкивался с тем, что перенасыщенное количество врагов, а когда и это одолевал, возникал глюк, из-за которого игра не работала дальше :( Если не ошибаюсь, после 3 или 4 системы. Примечательно, что строительство колоний вы не назвали примитивным, и я с этим согласен, довольно неплохо реализовано, особенно, на уровне тех лет. Взаимоотношения с инопланетянами конечно так себе реализованы, но к этому как-то не хочется придираться. В этом плане мне больше нравится ещё одна легендарная игра - Star Control.

@@Hoha778 Да, проходил несколько раз. Также несколько раз прохождение убивалось багами. Примитивное не признак плохого. Просто игра сочетает в себе разом кучу жанров и если все их реализовать по-полной, то она будет перегружена. Ее нельзя назвать маленькой, сочетая в себе элементы многих жанров на выходе получился цельный достаточно масштабный продукт. Другое дело, что это именно элементы жанров и нельзя требовать чего-то большего. Кстати примерно также на стыке жанров существовала Дюна. Пусть с точки зрения варгейма она уступала Дюне2, но имея в себе элементы других жанров она по масштабу ничуть не уступала второй части.

The problems weren't only with DOSBox... I've played it back in the day. And it completely hung your pc if you didnt press enter, or space key at the exact time, during the startup.
Those inventory descriptions are great :) 32:13 it does look like those little magnetic heads you slip into your multi-screwdriver, and the gun on the tank after that does indeed look like a mini-usb plug XD
there were a few dos games that used .mod music, but they all have some relation with the demoscene: most if not all the pinball games, some of the other Epic stuff (Jazz Jackrabbit), Alien Incident among them.
For anyone wondering about the PC Gravis UltraSound version, it is actually just the same as the Amiga soundtrack (The MOD version). I'm not sure what resulted in the decision to make the SoundBlaster mode utilize different Adlib music during the main game, given that the Soundblaster was perfectly capable of playing the MOD music as well (and in fact does exactly this during the intro). That said, I actually like both versions of the soundtrack. I think Main 1 sounds cool in both Adlib and MOD (although I wish the Adlib version had all the sections of the MOD version which is longer and just... better), but while Main 1 is clearly the same track in both versions, Main 2 is pretty different and I actually kind of prefer the Adlib Main 2. The whole soundtrack is awesome though.
the sad part is that JUST beat the game today, and in credits says about we meet u in Reunion 2... saddly, the proyect as Ascendandy or Dark Colony, was dropped, even abandoned, technically is a free IP, wich is sad ,cause the dev team really enjoyed make this game, really sad
Reunion 2 sadly never happened, but the same development team went on to create Imperium Galactica, which has a lot of similarities and is a great series in it's own right!

Ascendancy was made on PC and was a nice game, but they later made a new mobile version by some folk who probably had grabbed the IP.

It takes a bit of tweaking, but if you manage to configure dosbox to use Gravis Ultrasound in port 220, Reunion uses that card and tracker music. I think they did a good job with the OPL2 midi, but the tracker one actually sounds better.
is this for download anywhere, as a collection of individual song files? Or, how would you go about splitting it from the command line based on the times in the description?
what, the commandline? I thought that was what you used to encode it in mp3. Is that the command to automatically split it? Most people are not familiar with the flags and not gonna bother looking them all up, so you better label your description better if that command was intended to split it.
I think it should be possible with the Adlib portion, but I have not extracted it in a playable format. There are lots of games where the music is difficult to extract where the VGM would sound the same.
"mod" refers to the MOD audio format. It was more popular in the 1990's and 2000's because you could have recorded sounds and arrange them with notes and timing. This gave you good quality sound compared to MIDI and saved space compared to CD audio. Simultaneous MP3 playback while playing a video game wasn't computationally feasible yet.
@@arcziya1498 It's not a modification to the game itself. The MOD format music, for parts other than the introduction, are from the Amiga version. If you want the MOD version of the music, you'd need to play the Amiga version.

I love this game so much, great pixel art and tense gameplay for a simulator because of the time limits and need for minmaxing
Thank you! Many years ago also recorded this sountrack, but lost it with hard drive failure. Now I can so simple listen it again. :-)
This game has excellent mod music!
Played this game so much as a kid
What a memory trip!
I loved this game's soundtrack so much, especially the intro and I always had bizarre sound problems in Dosbox with it. Great to see it here.
The problems weren't only with DOSBox... I've played it back in the day. And it completely hung your pc if you didnt press enter, or space key at the exact time, during the startup.
its got the best scifi vibe ever, only Homeworld comes close, after than maybe Imperium Galactica 2.
Dude thank you for this
I played this on adlib back in the day. Main Theme 2 on mod is awesome!
Best description on TH-cam ever.
Those inventory descriptions are great :) 32:13 it does look like those little magnetic heads you slip into your multi-screwdriver, and the gun on the tank after that does indeed look like a mini-usb plug XD
The subtle comedy we can appreciate.
That is so interesting to hear a dos soundtrack with MOD files, the samplings so good that it's nearly CD quality
there were a few dos games that used .mod music, but they all have some relation with the demoscene: most if not all the pinball games, some of the other Epic stuff (Jazz Jackrabbit), Alien Incident among them.
in any case, Reunion supported the .mod based music in non GUS cards only during the intro - which actually looks very much like part of the demoscene
Lmao, love the sense of humour you added to the inventory descriptions :P
"More stylish than a Vasudan fighter!"
4608x2880..? WHY, by all that's holy..? The game was in 320x200!

Back in time when Hungarians was progressive nation. By the way I miss this game.

My always favorit music type is the mod and s3m >D
Music form Amiga version is much better than from PC.
it's the same if you had a gus
i am working hard
Pineapple under the sea? Is this in the game? What does it mean? Google only gives me spongebob shit. But that came 5 yers after this.
Nah, it's not in the game. I added my own humor to the video.

The line under "FLAC" has the files for download, both Adlib and MOD rendered as FLAC files.

There are lots of games where the music is difficult to extract where the VGM would sound the same.
Lol y made that text? Loool
