H24X-10010: All Sounds of Burai

[mrnutz]

It looks like this music is from the MSX game (Burai: Hachigyoku no Yuushi Densetsu) as the PC-Engine version (Burai: Yadama no Yuushi Densetsu) came out in 1991. I believe these two titles are related as they are both from River Hill Software.

It occurs to me that having a Platform field might be useful for some soundtrack entries, especially older ones where instrumentation quality was platform dependant. Was this ever considered?

[Secret Squirrel]

There is a platform field. It's on the right under Album Stats.

Currently, this album is listed as PC-88, though I can't necesarilly vouch for whether that's true.

[mrnutz]

Ug, I'm lame. Thanks, was looking in the wrong spot.

For what its worth, gamefaqs doesn't list a PC-88 version.

[seanne]

I entered PC-88 based the info given on the game's Japanese wiki page, which states that the game was released for the PC-88 in November of '89. And that all subsequent releases were released post November 25th, 1989. There's also a note down the bottom stating that this release (H24X-10010) features the music from the PC-88 release.

[mrnutz]

Undoubtedly a much better resource. Thanks for the explanation.

By the way, does anyone know if Riverhill Soft Burai Music Project (Chihiro Fujioka & Yumirin Sound Team) is also responsible for Sega Mega CD enhanced port of the game or was the arrangement handled by someone else?

[Adol]

Burai came out on many platforms, including PC-98, MSX, FM-Towns..Mega-cd as well (but later indeed)

[Myrkul]

It seems like there is a rare cassette version of this album as seen in this picture:

I don't have any info about it nor other picture.

[suicider]

Nice find! I wasn't aware of the KOEI albums either.

Found the cassette catalog number
