Story

There are three things I remember about Winter Games: A sore wrist, various broken joysticks and a soundtrack that, albeit a bit weird, remained in my memory until today, 20 years after I've played this game for the first time.

Since this game has always been a favourite of mine in the C64 (or, in my case, Amstrad)-era, I thought it would be a nice idea to try and do a medley of my most favourite sound pieces:

Ski Jump (00:00 to 01:07)

Bobsled (01:08 to 03:20)

Hotdog (03:29 to 05:35).

The most difficult part was to find some acceptable harmonies for the middle part of the Hotdog theme (in the original game, this melody was played without harmonies at all, just the main melody, so I had to imagine something that I hope sounds good ).

Song was arranged and performed on a Korg X3 workstation with additional effects from PSR-4000 multifunctional keyboard and with the Kristal Audio Sequencer.

Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy it.

Shouts

Waz shouts:

A good mix of all the tunes from Winter Games, put together well. It loses its way a little in the lead instrument department but works pretty good on the whole. And the Hot Dog section is awful, otherwise it'd have been orange.

Tas shouts:

On the odd times the sounds collide with each other but I must say I had a very nostalgic feeling listening to this so there's much right there.

Skitz shouts:

A really good idea that is a little ruined by some bad covering of the original tunes. Great instrument selection though.

Makke shouts:

Great idea! Nostalgia deluxe! Good selection of instruments, but it lacks a bit in the mixing, making the tune over all a bit muddy.

jason_starck shouts:

Nice Track. It feels like Winter Games 2007.

infamous shouts:

Reminds me of the amiga (and naturally amigamer would be involved heh), its a nice enough tune and doesnt offend in anyway, it just doesnt do anything special.

chilli_uk shouts:

Does sound rather modish - but I do like it - its easy to listen to at 4. 10 the base changes to orinico flow by enya I think lol but its nice

klosterkatten shouts:

Good mix, but it dosent give that extra spice to it.

eliot shouts:

Goal achieved, it made me smile :)

omoroca shouts:

Some of the samples sound like a cheap Amiga MOD, but all in all it's Ok.

condor shouts:

Ski Jump is amazing!!! Bobsled ruins that great start... Hotdog is something between good & very good. All in all - good one! Bravo on idea :)

xerex shouts:

Good work ami gamer!

karl_xii shouts:

Never heard before. Well performed though not a favourite of any sorts

weasel shouts:

Sounds quite 'amiga-sound-stylish' in many parts in my opinion though!

raj shouts:

That's a good medley, give us more :)

spellcoder shouts:

Sounds ok, although a bit old-fashioned (Amiga mod) and there's a sound with a very high pitch starting 2:18 (till 2:25?)

sebuko shouts:

Very athmospheric beginning and cool music sytlee. But the sample quality after the begin sounds low. That´s so sad. And please rip off that bangles akkord at04:04mins. That destroys the whole track.

LMan shouts:

I like this one a lot. With a bit better mixing and mastering this would be totally cool.

XxDUSTYxX shouts:

Nice idea. But the mix should end at 3:28!

anaconda shouts:

Everything was ok, until the damn lead let out. Shame.

john_cope shouts:

Good ideas, well compiled. Interesting opening (ski jump).
