The Great Tentacle Pianist 26 Sep, 2006, 20:32 / 11 comments

By elTee


Those crazy folks over at Overclocked Remix.org have been making great remixes of classic computer game music for years, but save for a few Monkey Island 1 and 2 projects the number of LucasArts games represented has been tantalisingly scarce. That is, until today!

Well, actually, I made that sound like there have been ten or so LucasArts mp3s added, which isn't the case - but there has been one, and it's from Day of the Tentacle!

Yes, 'The Great Tentacle Pianist' by Mazedude is the file you're looking for. Described by the site:

At just under two and a half minutes, it comes off as more of a soundtrack/sketch piece - the type of piece that would accompany the introduction of a quirky character in a Tim Burton film - than a full-fledged overture, but it's still substantive enough to say something, and develop while doing so.

So what are you waiting for?

    UUMMM, I know I should know this but DOTT originally never had music right? I own the game but I forgot if I configured the sound card right. Anyway I'm not that impressed with the song, it's just okay.

    You didn't configure the sound card right.

    That sucks! I've played DOTT like that for a long time. Wonder why I could here the characters voices but not the music. Oh well.(*hurries off to renconfigure DOTT*)
