First "advanced" composition in video-games
I was wondering what would be the first "advanced" musical compositions in video-games?
By advanced i mean non linear in the non melodic elements, like drums, bass, etc... also maybe some "humanly freestyle" melody. To me, it would be the Paperboy arcade tune, 1984. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB7uZZRypZg Do you know of something else, maybe older, matching this description? Next would probably be Rob Hubbard's work on C64, like Monty on the Run, 1985. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpsN14TFy90 [EDIT] But Martin Galway's Comic Bakery could also be featured, 1984. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH7dz7bqgyA Last edited by dma; Dec 1, 2013 at 03:12 AM. |

My immediate thought when seeing this thread was Marble Madness (Arcade), which surprise surprise is also from 1984. It was a good year, eh? I think the musical complexity is way ahead of its time. This video has a bunch of songs. (Note that the uploader has added some additional reverb.)
