When I was little, I always imagined what that swelling, ominous music would sound like if it were orchestrated. Unfortunately, his soundtrack for Eye of the Beholder II is not very extensive (the opening and ending themes, and a couple of short jingles, I think), but the game's introduction is a masterpiece.
The soundtrack was written by Frank Klepacki, whose work I've adored ever since I first heard the tunes he wrote for one of my favorite childhood games ever, The Legend of Kyrandia (of which you can expect a ReMix or two from me sooner or later). If you're into old school dungeon-crawling, you should definitely check it out. Probably because it takes place in the Forgotten Realms and because I'm a huge fantasy freak. The plot was pretty standard and the gameplay was somewhat tedious (as is the case with most dungeon crawlers), but I liked it anyway. Allow me to make the OC ReMix Emperor's writeup-writing job a little easier by providing some key information about the game: it was a classic DOS dungeon crawler, the sequel to the (supposedly) highly popular Eye of the Beholder. "This time, I've decided to throw popularity to the four winds and make an arrangement from a game only the elite few appreciate: Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon. Of this dark, sweeping orchestral arrangement, the artist writes: You may not have played Eye of the Beholder 2, but its soundtrack was composed by Frank Klepacki of Command & Conquer fame, who many should be familiar with. Let me just say that I FULLY support this project, I'd like to thank Jaka for starting it, I look forward to hearing what else results from it, and if this first mixpost is any indication, I think we can expect great things.
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER 2 GAME PC
This is our third posted ReMix and first non-album track from Jaka Čibej, aka Archangel, and it's also the first mix to come out of his " PCReMix Initiative" - an effort to address the relative lack of old PC game ReMixes here on OCR. When I think "Superbowl Sunday," I think Eye of the Beholder 2: The Legend of Darkmoon!!Īctually I don't, and it'd be really weird if I did, but today's the "Big Game" here in the States and I just felt peer-pressurred into a pseudo-connection of some kind.
