Ad Lib music archive: Get your PC (DOS) game music here!

[CMA Death Adder]

Hello, all.

I use custom hardware (the "Adlib-DigiSnap") to make accurate recordings of DOS game soundtracks, which are then added to my website, the Ad Lib music archive (http://www.diskman.com/presents/adlib/).

Today, after a long hiatus, 18 [!] new soundtracks were added:

4D Boxing
Captain Dynamo
Chip's Challenge
Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle
Elf
Gods
Golden Axe
Home Alone
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
KGB
Princess Maker 2
Risky Woods
Sango Fighter
Speed Racer in The Challenge of Racer X
Street Fighter II
Super Street Fighter II Turbo
Test Drive III: The Passion
The First Samurai

If you love the YM3812 chip as much as I do, this should be pretty nifty for you. I hope y'all enjoy it.
Whenever new sets are added, I'll share updates.

Have fun!

These were fun to listen to. I remember putting my Pro Audio Spectrum board through its paces with the tracks it came with. I couldn't believe the sound that came out of my computer!

Thanks for the update!

Wow, I remember some of these yes! Even your page is old and authentic.

Gotta love the simplicity and straight-forwardness of that design. A lot of modern design I see with the menu lines and options sometimes makes it more couter-intuitive for me. The website for the place my wife works was designed, and I quote, "for Millenials" with its flash and movement. Dang thing has never worked right nor has content directed properly. I have no idea what the content manager looks like to see how much of a PITA it would be to update.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm glad you're enjoying the music, and thinking of the "good old days" while you listen to it! :)

I'm also happy to hear y'all dig on the website design. I write all of my HTML by hand in MS-DOS Editor -- just like I've done since my first website in 1998! -- and my goal is to design something simple yet elegant, that captures the spirit of the subject matter, can load and display QUICKLY even on slow web connections (I suffered with dial-up for far too long and still recall the pain of slow-loading websites), and is compatible with a whole pile of web browsers (new and old).

Anyway. The music recording + trimming process is fairly involved, but I've got more games in my "to-do" list. So updates will appear... eventually!
