Having a bit of a video game music flashback this morning, and a question for the FSM brain trust here:

Has anyone written anything or have a list of 8 bit or other early video game John Wiliam's tunes?

A couple I remember were from the terrible Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom game. The music was spot on though. big grin


Slave Children's Crusade


Slalom on Mount Humol


Mine Cart Chase

I've never played (or heard) these games, but those clips certainly brought a smile to my face.

Such emotional and passionate interpretations! big grin

Went looking for more, track names don't match the soundtrack titles - but you'll recognize the themes. I never played this game on Nintendo - exploring the soundtrack today about half of the game tracks are original compositions, these below are arrangements of John Williams film score.
