Amiga music: Ron Klaren - Battle Squadron full OST (A1200🎧Dolbyfied) 

Thank you 👍

Synth sounds here seem to be real time synthesis, at least most of them. Many games of this era mixed drums samples with real time synthesis sounds : Hybris, some of the David Whittaker soundtracks, etc. Amiga could do realtime synthesis without using samples.

love it so much. also this is such great audio quality

set the bar really high! Everything after this would be a disappointment 😉

@@captainboing I think the next real shooting fun I had on Amiga was with ultra-hard SWIV a few years later (which lacked in-game music!)

Those are not "noises" but the typical arpeggiated PWM square waves you hear in many C64 tunes from that time. Aside from the lack of filter, the Amiga certainly can do these type of sounds. In fact, the generally coined term "chip music" has actually its roots in the Amiga scene, to classify this type of music, which only uses a few KB/s of memory, so it can fit in cracker intros, or games which run on stock 512K configurations.

It is unfortunately the worst adaptation he made..

A custom image combining the logo text from the game and the spaceship from the rolling demo release of the game

Both from Amiga. TOSEC has this Amiga entry: "Battle Squadron - The Destruction of the Barrax Empire! (demo-rolling) (1989)(Innerprise)(PAL).zip". It has the ship in color flying past the screen (too big to fit on the screen all at once, but nothing that a couple of screenshots can't fix). Logo can be seen in the game menu. Then i just combined those two to make this custom image.

@@Kuokka77 Thanks, looks very cool !
