Shigeru "Tommy" Tomita had been busy composing T&E SOFT games soundtracks such as DAIVA, PSY-O-BLADE, LAYDOCK and HYDLIDE.
So it was fitting for him to compose the first T&E SOFT golf game, "Harukanaru Augusta" released in 1989 for PC-98. This soundtrack included what I refer to as the "New 3D Golf Simulation Theme" as its Menu music. I think it is safe to assume that the Theme is a Shigeru Tomita composition. A year later (1990) the game arrived on FM Towns with a CD-Audio soundtrack featuring an arranged version of the Theme, perhaps also by Tomita. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Oe45pPubOM One year on, 1991, and versions arrive on the very same day for Sharp X68000 (Kazunori Hasegawa) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep5wh5JywNw and Super Famicom (Kazunori Hasegawa, Shigeru Tomita) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0bzyVOnBBY Two different arrangements of the Theme popped up in other Super Famicom golf games. From 1991, Waialae no Kiseki (Yumi Satake) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBwI2gDO5dg and from 1992, Pebble Beach no Hatou (Yumi Satake) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0bzyVOnBBY And finally in 1993 the theme was missing from a version of the Harukanaru Augusta game for Mega Drive (Yumi Satake, Hiroshi Morita, Shigekazu Kamaki, Yusaburo Shimojyo). I think it's interesting to hear the original and subsequent versions of the theme arranged for different hardware. -- New 3D Golf Simulation: Harukanaru Augusta 遥かなるオーガスタ 1989, PC-98 1990, FM Towns 1991, X68000 1991, SFC 1993, MD -- References https://www.mobygames.com/game/harukanaru-augusta https://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.ph...5&postcount=22 Last edited by gingerbeardman; Feb 2, 2020 at 08:09 AM. |
