Here is a 1993 video of the man himself explaining one of the tracks he made for Commander Keen. It was strange to me when I discovered this as to me the music from Doom is the original, but if it weren't for Bobby Prince's music I would never known bands like Slayer, Alice in Chains and Pantera existed.Īctually I like many of the Bobby Prince versions better as the melody is not hidden by overly used guitars and hammering drums. Some Doom tracks resemble early 90's heavy metal music and that's what lead game designer John Romero wanted.

Some newer game music I like is the dark and gothic sound of Vampire Bloodlines and the beautiful symphony music by Jeremy Soule in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.Īll the music and sound effects in Doom and Doom 2 are made by Bobby Prince a former lawyer and Vietnam veteran.īobby Prince worked for id Software from 1991-1994 and has created music and sound effects for numerous games, including Wolfenstein 3D and Duke Nukem 3D (3D Realms). Today games mostly use compressed file formats like ogg and mp3. Michiel van den Bos composed a lot of great music for both the games which I still listen to once in a while.

I am not a particular fan of the MOD format, but it was brilliantly used in Unreal/Unreal Tournament as unlike MIDI the music sounds the same no matter what soundcard you have. In the late 90's, MIDI music was getting rare in favor of other types like CD audio, WAV and MOD files. Wolfenstein 3D came out before Doom but the graphics and game play where not quite there yet. Made in 1993 by id Software, Doom is and will forever be my all-time favorite it is the original first person shooter game. Music in games never sounded so good and the RAP-10 worked wonders to games like Discworld, Day Of The Tentacle, Sam & Max, Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis, Legend Of Kyrandia, Bioforge, Warcraft, Descent, Duke Nukem and Doom.
I got the Roland RAP-10 soundcard in 1995 (still got it) and my love for MIDI began. Video game music has had a big influence on me, specially the games from the 90's.
When you spend hours and hours playing Doom as a kid you get somewhat attached to it.

I think the PC I'm using here is a 386DX/33MHz with 4 Megs of RAM.Įven with the screen size scaled down, Doom is running painstakingly slow and jerky. May which is Norway’s national day, and what was I doing.? Playing Doom of course! This is video stills taken from a short clip my uncle filmed on 17. Here I am back in 1994, playing my favorite game.
