Lords of the Realm 2 - Scroll 3 (1996, Remastered)

In the spring & summer of 1996, I wrote the soundtrack to Lords of the Realm II. It was the second game I worked on with Sierra (the first was Rise & Rule of Ancient Empires). The challenge was to make five map (“scroll“) tunes that intensified as your empire grew. Also, there were four battle tunes, a setup, and a credits tune created. Originally the music was going to be released on the CD-ROM as 16-bit 44100 stereo WAV files, but there wasn’t enough room on the CD to accomodate them. Because they wouldn’t stream off the CD, they had to be loaded in memory and so were released as 8-bit 11025 Hz files! One big file on the original CD-ROM, ““ was a composite of several tunes, but only used as ’filler’ to max out the data on the disc; it was never meant to be played (as mentioned earlier, the tunes wouldn’t all fit on the CD). So here they are, the full fidelity tunes from over two decades ago. Put on your plate mail and get digging! ------------------------------------------- Remastered Version Composer: Keith Zizza Developer: Impressions Games Publisher: Sierra All copyrights go to their respective holders.
