CaptSopwith Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Looks like some kind soul out there took the time to learn and play a piano version of some very special menu music from the old days... See if you happen to recognize it Quote
von Baur Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I turned the music off so I don't remember what it sounded like. But I'm once more amazed at the versatility of a piano. One talented musician can go from a single instrument to a full orchestra in the space of a song. Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Wonderful trip down memory lane (sigh)...thanks for posting...(he was a bit out of tune a couple of times..but we can forgive that) Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 . Despite all the years of flying RB3D, I still always hear that bit of music as the march from "The Great Escape". . Quote
+Olham Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I missed "Red Baron 3D" (maybe my biggest miss!) - do you have the music of "Wings of Glory"? I'd recognise that still. Quote
CaptSopwith Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 For comparison Olham: I loved the menu music for RB3D. Yes, as embarrassing as this is to admit, I actually still listen to it now. I have a playlist of all of my old menu music - works wonders when you're trying to grade a hundred papers! I also have a playlist of music from Wings of Glory that I found online years ago. Both are great. Quote
+Hasse Wind Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Ah, nostalgia! I still have a modded version of RB3D installed. I haven't played it for a while, though. I blame OFF for that. Quote
+Olham Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I understand that, Captain - but it only means something to you, when you played it. Like I will never forget the OFF Theme in my lifetime. I also still knew the music from "Wings of Glory" - here it is: Quote

I also still knew the music from "Wings of Glory" - here it is: Olham, If you're interested, I have the entire WoG soundtrack (all 433kb of it) in .midi file form. If you'd like a copy let me know and I'll send it over to you in zip file format. I play it on Windows Media Player all the time when I'm busy working on grading. . And for further comparison: My parents were stuck with their 16 year old son playing Red Baron non-stop in the loft of our old house - leaving them to endure hours of engines droning and menu music playing over the rafters. They always said it sounded just like the Great Escape theme... and I agree with them! Quote
