Jakob Fel :spinningdisc:<p>Has anyone had the chance to check out the Heretic + Hexen remaster/re-release? I've played a bit and it seems fantastic, just like with Doom 1&amp;2!

Toni Westbrook<p>Finished Eye of the Beholder I last night, this is the fist time I had seriously put effort into it since having played originally many decades ago. Gotta love the ending on many of these old games - it's literally just a page of text, and then immediately quits to DOS. I respect that - the real enjoyment in these games is the journey! </p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/eyeofthebeholder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eyeofthebeholder</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/dosgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dosgaming</span></a></p>

peter mcconnell's AfterLife soundtrack is the most underrated LucasArts/LFG game music there is, mostly because no one played the game.

the music is also brutally underproduced. instead of redbook audio tracks, the team decided to (criminally) crunch the music down to 8-bit, mono, 22050hz. it sounds like it's coming out of a telephone handset.

today i did some audacity work and extracted one of the tracks directly from the game files, and did a light remaster. only so much can be done to make potato audio sound good, but this is a step in the right direction. it's now stereo. enjoy.

fwiw, this is peter himself playing the electric violin on this track. i had no idea he is a violinist.
