Hi all,
This is Andrew from midimusicadventures.com / The QuestStudios Archive.
I would have loved to try my hand at making a proper remix to send in for this callout, maybe I'll submit something in the future. Unfortunately, I also only found out about this the other day.
I do however have an ancient crappy 'cover' of Erana's Peace I once made a long time ago (early 2004). At the time, I was only first tinkering with and learning to use FruityLoops 3.0 (Which then updated to 4.0 and they changed the name to FL Studio) in an effort to see if I would like it more than an ancient (even then) version of Cakewalk I was using for MIDI compositions/remixes up until that point. I don't think it's up to the standards to be submitted to OCREMIX so, with some trepidation, I have linked it above just for fun.
Aubrey's new official soundtrack is much better, we should all listen to that instead. It really is great!
I'm glad to see that QuestStudios is still a valued resource for DOS Era adventure game soundtracks. To try and make a long story shorter: The original QuestStudios was an amazing resource for Sierra game soundtracks and MIDI's among many other things. Not terribly long ago that site was hacked, and the backups were also corrupted. The original site owners' Tom and his wife Dianne had decided to retire from the site at that point for a multitude of reasons. I offered to rebuild "The QuestStudios Archive" from my own downloads from the original site and accumulated libraries in an effort to keep that great content, and in my possibly biased opinion, a part of PC Game Music and Internet history, online. With the helpful submissions of some other former QuestStudios site message board members, things are coming along nicely. Though a bit slower than I'd like due mostly to my other life responsibilities.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for linking my little site.
Also, if anyone has a need for the complete MIDI file soundtracks for QFG1-4 they can been downloaded here.
I look forward to seeing what people come up with here! Personally, I love hearing the remixes on the site here where a song's melody is taken to a completely different music genre than the original.
