http://epicgames.com/community/epic-...ve-soundtrack/ Remixes of select games from Epic's 20 year history. Space from Epic Pinball and Bring Back the Jazz from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 are my 2 favorites, but it has a disturbing lack of any One Must Fall 2097 songs. What a wasted opportunity there. Regardless of their omission of OMF 2097, this is some awesome music. Everyone should check it out.
It also has a disturbing lack of songs from Jazz Jackrabbit 1...their music from the shareware days was seriously incredible, especially OMF 2097, even if you discount the nostalgia factor. I'm not that excited to listen to music from Unreal Tournament 3.
I really appreciate the fact they included an Epic Pinball track. That game was really underrated, especially its GREAT music.
At least JJ1 got some love at all, even if it is just the menu music. OMF2097 has NO music on the collection, which, considering how catchy it's intro music is, baffles me. Amen brother! I have the full version of epic pinball, although I never technically purchased it. In the mid-90's, blockbuster video held a promotion where, upon the rental of 2 movies or games, you got a free PC game. The PC game in question turned out to be epic pinball, which was split up by episode/table (every 2 episodes/tables came in their own box) and since my friday routine in those days consisted of getting a pizza from Little Caesars and renting a movie and a game from the blockbuster next door, within a month or so, I had already collected all the episodes. What was neat was that, when you installed the tables, they acted like a normal full version of the game, and you could play different tables without having to exit to prompt. My favorite table was the android one, but Space had great music.
While it's not part of the compilation, Kenny Chou made an official (since it's the same composer) remix of the OMF2097 menu music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvlVaQl7kEk
There has got to be some kind of copyright issue for not having OMF 2097 songs. That's the only reason I can think of for not having them. However, there's no excuse for not having more Jazz 1 music, tell me you wouldn't rather have this song than another boring, generic "action movie score" song from Gears of War:
Nice! Thanks for the One Must Fall link. Very very nice! The Epic realease, well, It's not that great to me. There are better music in Tyrian than the Main menu music... And too much Unreal, I just don't like it. Epic Megagames for me does not include Unreal at all...
