So you're telling me its possible Hiroshi Miyagawa is not only one of the first to write music for anime but probably the first to write orchestral music for a game. What are the odds.

What bugs me is that this album has symphonic movements and not "normal track titles" like all the others. Would need clarification.



EDIT: Added Total Annihilation by Jeremy Soule, a fully orchestral score for a game in 1997. It's up to debate wheter Total Annihilaton or Lost World was recorded first so its not yet set in stone what the third fully orchestral game score outside Japan is. The fifth is Medal of Honor. I've also added Haouden (Third fully orchestral game score) and Uncharted Waters (first to use live opera).

A very tricky part is Shadows of the Empire, it was music original written and recorded for a novel, but also used in the game, released in 1996 for PC and N64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nitJd6cIXU
