Of course "best" is very subjective. But I can at least tell you that it's the intended version.

different depending on if you selected AdLib, AdLib Gold, or MT-32. Picq actually recomposed for each sound device.

Obviously. I mean, it happened sometimes with other games, but with Dune it's very clear. Same with Sega CD version. Different.

Picq obviously took a lot of care in creating Dune's soundtrack. Hell, him and Herbulot wrote their own sound system for it that >>

Idk. I think most reviews of Cryo's games noted the top notch presentation and his music especially at least.

 Wed Aug 03 03:54:18 +0000 2016

Have you played Lost Eden?

 Wed Aug 03 03:55:51 +0000 2016

Oh god. DL2 is not good. Lost Eden is disappointing too, but great work from Picq https://youtu.be/-56Xgx5Ylj0

 Wed Aug 03 03:57:45 +0000 2016

Also: WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MORE CRYO GAMES???

 Wed Aug 03 03:59:43 +0000 2016

I am not popular, but I always have my fellow DOS enthusiasts' back.

 Wed Aug 03 04:01:40 +0000 2016

Oh, I'm not denying that. But Cryo is definitely the lesser of the bunch, despite their games being probably the most expensive.

 Wed Aug 03 04:04:02 +0000 2016

In Europe this was the last (I think) title Cryo published. I got it here brand new, in a store full of discount stuff 5 years ago

 Wed Aug 03 04:09:20 +0000 2016

 Wed Aug 03 04:09:33 +0000 2016

Despite not being developed by Cryo, it's a 3D game with a great idea, art direction, amazing music, & it's totally unplayable

 Wed Aug 03 04:10:36 +0000 2016

No, no. This is a French American McGee's Alice. At least it wants to be. From the devs of Evil Twin.

 Wed Aug 03 04:11:47 +0000 2016

As for Arxel Tribe, I find it hilarious that Cryo found one company that was making games as bland as they were.

 Wed Aug 03 04:12:37 +0000 2016

I played almost through the entirety of Jekyll & Hyde until I hit a game breaking bug :( I think I'm the only person to do so

 Wed Aug 03 04:13:38 +0000 2016

I highly recommend looking up the soundtrack (I don't even know if it's out there tbh), because it's fantastic.

 Wed Aug 03 04:14:05 +0000 2016

Finally! At least some isn't.

 Wed Aug 03 04:15:19 +0000 2016

No, it's their own engine. The company was called In Utero.

 Wed Aug 03 04:15:37 +0000 2016

Those two are both good games. Alice is a bit overrated. FAKK2 is a bit underrated.

 Wed Aug 03 04:18:00 +0000 2016

Ah. I only played the demo.

 Wed Aug 03 04:18:25 +0000 2016

I did. I love it. I have a poster on my wall. But it hasn't aged well. The second game is actually a lot of fun.

 Wed Aug 03 04:19:43 +0000 2016

I recommend it. It's not the best game ever, but it's good simple fun, and the art direction is fantastic.

 Wed Aug 03 04:21:49 +0000 2016

The end is super rushed, but from what I understand, they didn't have a lot of money or time.

If you started with computer versions of Tetris, do you still only rotate the shapes counterclockwise?

Tonight's background music: Sega CD version of Cryo's Dune soundtrack

 Tue Aug 09 00:40:37 +0000 2016

Mine too. So now I'm spending some time listening to the versions I'm not as familiar with. Considering making a video.

 Tue Aug 09 00:43:54 +0000 2016

Sega CD version of Dune's soundtrack isn't bad. But very Genesis at the same time. Picq once again reworked it for the YM2612.

 Tue Aug 09 00:47:22 +0000 2016

Be sure to check out all six versions! ;)

 Tue Aug 09 00:52:09 +0000 2016

So far my order of preference of versions of Dune's music:
1. AdLib Gold
2. AdLib
3. Sega CD
4. Spice Opera
5. MT-32
6. Amiga

 Tue Aug 09 00:53:24 +0000 2016

MT-32 version is the worst by *far*, but Amiga loses points for only having 3 tracks. I mean, come on, 3 music tracks for the entire game?!?

 Tue Aug 09 00:54:18 +0000 2016

AdLib Gold is how it was MEANT to be heard.

 Tue Aug 09 00:54:43 +0000 2016

AdLib and Sound Blaster both have an OPL2 chip, while SB16 and later have OPL3 or clones. So yeah.

 Tue Aug 09 00:55:30 +0000 2016

The arrangements often just don't work. All of the effects possible with synthesis are lost by having to stick to MIDI.

 Tue Aug 09 01:01:49 +0000 2016

Most songs lack any sort of depth, and while some are kind of okay, some (Chani's Eyes, for example) are totally *ruined*.

 Tue Aug 09 01:02:16 +0000 2016

Really? Oh no. Klepacki's Dune 2 DOS soundtrack was so good.

 Tue Aug 09 01:14:20 +0000 2016

Wow. I just learned that Dune 2's soundtrack on Amiga consists of pretty much just this: https://youtu.be/XoNPy5ttpd4 Are you fucking kidding me?

 Tue Aug 09 01:19:57 +0000 2016

Wow. And these are the comments. Holy shit.

 Tue Aug 09 01:23:37 +0000 2016

Yes, 2 minutes of a single sample variations is surely better than nearly an hour of actual music. Jesus.

 Tue Aug 09 01:24:09 +0000 2016

I'm just in shock now. This is terrible. But now I have another "weapon" against "it was better on Amiga" people ;)

 Tue Aug 09 01:27:23 +0000 2016

Maybe I should make a two part video?
Part 1: It was better on the Amiga
Part 2: It was NOT better on the Amiga

Ok, I'll stop with the Amiga bashing. I'm just really disappointed by its Dune 2 version.

 Tue Aug 09 01:36:25 +0000 2016

Maybe, but damn, the whole game has like 6 minutes of this "music" total. It's terrible.

 Tue Aug 09 01:39:39 +0000 2016

It wasn't done lazily. Picq recomposed for each of the devices. Just that much you can do with that sort of music.

 Tue Aug 09 01:40:46 +0000 2016

Like, can you imagine a MIDI version of Jesper Kyd's Batman & Robin soundtrack? I sure can't. It's not meant to be played with >>

 Tue Aug 09 01:41:36 +0000 2016

>> realistic instruments. Not to mention again, not all of those things can be described in notes. You need a synthesizer.

 Tue Aug 09 01:42:10 +0000 2016

Dude, it's 6 minutes of ONE sample pitching up and down. What quality?

 Tue Aug 09 01:42:49 +0000 2016

Mods and limited space. Games had to work off the disks directly, etc. Samples are great, but only 4 channels, etc. It adds up.

 Tue Aug 09 01:43:51 +0000 2016

Really? How is it better quality technically? Because I can actually open up one of these mods & tell you the quality of the >>

 Tue Aug 09 01:45:36 +0000 2016

samples inside of it, but I can't tell you it's not gonna be a the 49,716 rate, which is what OPL chip outputs

 Tue Aug 09 01:46:44 +0000 2016

CD-Rom version is the same as the floppy. You need the Spice Opera album.

 Tue Aug 09 01:47:57 +0000 2016

Just to your ear. The samples in Amiga mods are mostly very low quality. The tech is impressive, no doubt, esp. for 1985.

 Tue Aug 09 01:48:50 +0000 2016

But as far as actual rates go, yeah, no.

 Tue Aug 09 01:49:21 +0000 2016

That's true. Or the speech. Or the ability to play the game in Fremen :)

 Tue Aug 09 01:49:53 +0000 2016

Amiga had insanely ahead of its time EVERYTHING. A fantastic machine. But let's not assign it magical qualities

 Tue Aug 09 01:50:47 +0000 2016

Yes, DOS CD-ROM is the definitive one. Although I personally prefer the original floppy one. Don't need pre-rendered videos & fmv.

 Tue Aug 09 01:52:44 +0000 2016

First, MT-32 was a professional piece of sound hardware, not for games. If you're talking AdLib, that's FM...

 Tue Aug 09 01:53:34 +0000 2016

... synthesis, and has nothing to do with midi. Also, it's apples and oranges. Very different systems.

 Tue Aug 09 01:54:11 +0000 2016

There has been some movement recently. One of the DosBox branches implemented it and, and PCem team is also working on it.

 Tue Aug 09 01:55:24 +0000 2016

DosBox version lacks the surround module support, I think. Not sure what's the story with the PCem one.

 Tue Aug 09 01:55:48 +0000 2016

AdLib didn't feature any midi whatsoever. It was your software that played midi using it.

 Tue Aug 09 01:56:34 +0000 2016

I've seen this... well, 4 year ago. Haven't tried it. Someone already had put out their recordings of Gold soundtrack recorded..

 Tue Aug 09 02:00:21 +0000 2016

... from a real thing at that point, so that's what I stick to. Meanwhile I'll just wait for someone to implement full emulation.

 Tue Aug 09 02:01:45 +0000 2016

That's fairly common. Charles Callet worked with OPL music only, so Amiga version was handled by a different composer.

Yeah, well... So Nintendo had their "fan" aka customer covered. That's the only "fan" they'll ever care about.

Same as Blizzard shutting down a fan legacy server, etc. They don't need to look cool. People will still pay for Mario/Link.

 Tue Aug 09 16:10:43 +0000 2016

There's a Sound Blaster one, a mix of samples & FM. A pure AdLib FM one. And a Gravis Ultrasound, which sometimes is very different from SB.

Blocked.

 Sun Aug 14 16:27:49 +0000 2016

Some kind of blending. Just dropping every 7th frame results in jittery motion.
