That's why good BGM is vital in overall game's reception. Imagine the same menu without any music at all, without this feel of anticipation for major ass-kicking.

This is one of the best pieces of video game music of the era. It makes me feel something incredible.

I was blown away with this game's songs as soon as we got a soundcard for our family PC, and played this game finally with sound. It was glorious.

Wow! Memories of simpler times playing this on my family's old Windows 98 PC. Hearing the notes from 0:54 to 1:02 brought tears to my eyes; it transported me back to when I was kid without a care in the world. Thank you so much for this upload. ♥

Very, very memorable intro-tune. Almost chill-inducing.

Thanks for this, the remaster sounds exactly like I remember the originals... It's similar to how old games used to look better on CRT monitors I guess.

It's hard to believe that Epic published this game because Tim Sweeney loved pinball and tracker music just that much. It's incredible how time changes a person, ain't it?

from 0:19 to 0:22 it's goosebumps every time I hear those three notes. Love it.

I jazzed those notes up a tiny bit... Couldn't help myself!

Holy shit. I'd always get so excited when I would hear this boot on our old Packard Bell. What memories.

This is what the CD-ROM version of Epic Pinball would sound like via redbook CD-DA. Love it!

You know ... my new vehicle has a (small) internal "hard drive" of 16gb of storage for music files. And what would it be without some of the best game music (mostly DOS) that I grew up with in a folder of it's own? And this has to be in the top 5 songs. ;-) Man, has it really been just over 27 years? Geezus, time flies being like 13-14 years old when this hit. Well, younger. But I was just getting into DOS a little late.

Amazing video game music and not just for a pin ball game

Incredible fidelity here! This is one of my all time favorite theme songs to any game!

it brings a tear to my eye's hearing this in this quality Thanks

I wonder if after all these years anyone has noticed the two notes I added to the song, lol! I always wondered if anyone would catch it!

Gravis Ultrasound. This has to be like a top 5 MIDI from the 90s. And I'm honestly having a tough time coming up with something better. Into Sandy's City from Doom II comes to mind, Research from System Shock is also up there, but this is really, really good.

It is a module file, not MIDI.

Well done! One hell of a catchy tune. It sounds great - you've done it justice.

Wow great work! Really brings back a better time. I will always love midi tunes.

This is great. I enjoyed the Epic Pinball DOS games.

Before the late 90s 3d accerlated graphios music is what made a lot of the game memorable.

Awesome

What was your computer setup in Taiwan back then?

Was this game OST wavetable MIDI or MOD/ScreamTracker instead? I bet for the second one, but I already had my GUS (Gravis UltraSound.. the best consumer level soundcard you could get your hands on) and all MIDI game music sounded awesome ... I still remember StarControl 2's... gives me goosebumps.

@Robert Binary: This is not midi. Considering the era it screams tracker format. (i.e. .mod, .it, etc)

you are a good man, thank you.

I always loved this opening music, sooooo much nostalgia! I would spend hours on Enigma and Cyber Girl. XD I loved the music for the original Android more than when it became Super Android. My dad still has this game, I asked him to make me a copy of it so I can play it again. Memories!!

+geminiM2783 100% agree on the original Android music!!! I only had the shareware version, but the three songs it had captivated me as a kid... Part of why I got into the MOD format in the first place!

I would kill for the Epic Pinball menu theme added to Fortnite as a lobby track, just like Unreal Tournament’s Foregone Destruction was

I love this song. Its very powerfull to me. This edit was very nice. This song remember me a time thas was very hard to me. Good Edit!

Back again

Hearing this tune reminds me of playing Epic Pinball at my next door neighbor’s house. Hearing this and the Pangaea theme takes me back. This sounds like something that Jan Hammer would compose.

Thank you!!!!

Nice Edit!

This is awesome! You should try to remix the original death really theme, it's sort of similar in feel to this song

one of my favorites music from DOS game ! thanks alot for the upload

Better than Fortnite, but I discovered this game when I was 3 years old back in 1999 when my pops had a Windows 95/DOS Machine, it was one of my first video games aside from Jazz jackrabbit

niiiiiice

One of the DOS games I played the most, right up there with doom, stunts and TIM. By the way, complete collection is 3 dollars on GoG. Must buy.

Wtf I didn't remember this tune being so good, possibly cause I had the shittier sound card

we have to go back

Will you do Enigma too?

Wow sounds very modern and punchy. Where can i get the original song to master it my self to practise a bit?

Well, that's up to the folks who made the game and music... I just added some effects and rendered it out in better quality than DOS ever could so people could enjoy a really nice quality version.

I wish more PC games used Module music, as a lot of the time it was superior to Soundblaster/Adlib.

Sneaky Van Halen nod in there.

Excellent work. More please! Android, Jill of the Jungle and Pangaea!

Thanks!! I actually had the first little bit of Android done and sounding pretty badass, but when my HDD died a couple years ago, it took everything with it because I'm an idiot and don't back things up like I should. I'll get back into it eventually, though... I want to do both Android themes since I love them both, plus that ending theme! I never played the JotJ table... curious how the MOD music compares to the original game's Adlib music... now I have to go find out!
