Hey everyone! A couple of days ago I remastered the iconic Monkey Island theme (from TSOMI) Back in the early 90's, the OPL3 soundchip was the core of many well-known and popular audio cards such as the Sound Blasters. Unfortunately, mostly for compatibility reasons, the OPL3 was rarely used as its full potential and sounded like a "mere" OPL2 (Adlib). In this remaster, I tried to demonstrate how OPL3 music can sound, when used as its full potential. Monkey Island theme - AdLib VS Soundblaster I'm seriously thinking about remastering the entire soundtrack this way. Worth it? 😄

Fantastic. Seeing LES HEADBANGERS puts me in the mood for finally replaying this odd yet truly unique game.

To continue the Brutal Legend 15th anniversary retrospective in the news well into the new year, I present to you an original German marketing brochure for Brutal Legend, along with a poster that has less marketing icons along the bottom than maybe a more prevalent Brutal Legend poster. More below - but hidden to not overload the thread.

Making progress "Fettucini Brothers" are now OPL3 remastered!

Wow, that OPL3 version sounds great. I do have a lot of nostalgia for the more typical OPL2 style but the fact such quality was available and unused is sort of wild. I’d definitely be happy to hear the whole soundtrack done. I knew of MT-32 being the card of choice for MI2 but didn’t know about MI1. I’m curious to hear both games given this treatment now. A sadness that in practice almost no one heard it on MT-32 as the composers intended. I guess ‘intended’ was a loose idea back then, compared to the locked down nature of recordings.

Thanks Jake! 100% agree with you! It's true that MI's music was originally created for MT-32. In the process, AdLib and PC speaker versions were arrangements of the MT32 score. OPL3 was a very good and capable soundchip, but sadly underused. What I'm trying do to here is to rehabilitate it somehow. So indeed, it would be more like a "what if" situation like you said

Frankly, I think Return added a lot of confusion to this topic. The perspective seen is nothing more than misdirection.
