Please check it out! Nice, thanks for the hint. Trivia: 08:05 min. into the video, there's a Monk getting photo-captured for the game. The Monk is no other than Mr. Lee Jackson himself. I have never seen these recordings before, only some stills, so that was quite a nice surprise. The boss sitting in the chair at 10:06 min. is Joe Siegler, former Community Manager at Apogee/3D Realms. Edited May 14, 2021 by deus-ex 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

I wonder where he got it? Trivia: beneath my monk outfit, I was wearing a leg brace on my right (I think) leg. I'd hyperextended it a few days earlier in the tech support room when a rolling chair slipped out from under me as I was trying to sit down. My limping walk in the game was quite authentic - not an act. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
deus-ex Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Speaking of Shadow Warrior, I remember when I played the shareware release back in 1997. It consisted of four levels, each with a custom MIDI music theme, plus a MIDI title tune: E1L01 = Evryoff.mid (Everybody off) E1L02 = Morse.mid (Morse Kodo) E1L03 = 254mm.mid E1L04 = A10tion.mid (Attention) Theme = Okinowwa.mid (Okinoww!a) I was so looking forward to the retail version of Shadow Warrior, expecting it to have more MIDIs from Lee Jackson. But the full release used CD-Audio instead. Only Everybody off, Attention, and Okinoww!a made it into the soundtrack, the remainder of the OST (Original Sound Track) being mediocre ambient background music/noise. I always wondered, why that decision was made. At least, they should have offered MIDI as an audio option. The retail OST contains a hilarious credit tune, consisting of sound bits and outtakes by the great John William Galt, voice actor of Lo Wang. The credit tune is available as a free download at 3D Realms: LoWangsRap.mp3 An interview with John William Galt is available on Youtube. "You are too stupid to duck! You are blocking with your head again." :D Edited May 15, 2021 by deus-ex 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted May 16, 2021 I'm kinda more interested by the ROTT prototype as "Wolfenstein 3D Part II", all I saw of it before was some sprite sheets posted on Apogee's site. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

I was told I would be using CD-Audio for the retail release version, so I did my best. No MIDI files were recorded: we used native Cakewalk Pro Audio files instead to control MIDI synths and recorded everything into a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) machine synced up to the MIDI machine. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
deus-ex Posted May 17, 2021 Probably the management thought, with CD-Audio being the next big thing a that time, it would function as a product seller. In the sense of "a true AAA game requires to offer CD-Audio". Still makes me wonder, why the other two MIDI tunes 'Morse Kodo' and '254mm' weren't converted to CD-Audio, too? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Not enough room on the CD for them with all of the new tracks they had me write. Or, at least that was the assumption. Edited May 18, 2021 by leejacksonaudio 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
june gloom Posted June 14, 2021 Wouldn't mind seeing those two tracks remastered... Wasn't there also a few songs for the beta? I'm mostly thinking of "Taiko Recall." 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
