CaptSopwith 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted November 16, 2011 Sounds familiar...but...ahh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von Baur 54 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 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". . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptSopwith 26 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hasse Wind 46 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it really so small? Well, then I'd like to have it! Zipped it should be possible via PM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
