Reason for the missing music tracks is probably expired music licenses. A commissioned 3rd-party composer or licensed tracks were likely hired/bought for use in the game. The rights for this music is held for a limited time before it can't be sold anymore without renewing the rights. This has happened in other games. Mafia 2 had a large repertorie of 40' and 50's music that was patched out several years after release. The other option was to cease selling the game.

@01100101011100100111

I was about to question the likelyhood of just one third of the track being third party, but then remembered it's orchestral. My ears aren't good enough to tell if that's an actual orchestra (somewhat unlikely), but that or the composer not wanting to cheapen their work could be the reason. It'd be nice to get confirmation if this is the reason or not.

Or that a lot of CD-ROM games at the time had their music as actual music tracks played straight off the disc. I think Quake 1 & 2 did this. Maybe some issue where a lot of reissued games from that era only grabbed the data track and none of the music? It would just be too much work to do so?

@albertjordan3249

Yup, people like to think that all media is permanent and immutable. Similar to how the BBC recorded over a ton of its old programming (Doctor Who being a famous example) to save tape. The BBC didn't think their broadcasts were worth saving because tape was expensive and they thought if they REALLY wanted to broadcast it again they would just assemble the actors (or an entirely different set if necessary) and do it again. They considered them as essentially televised plays... as long as you have the script you can always put the play on again. Similarly with music licensing there is no way of knowing how popular a game is going to be, or that people are going to play it 2 decades later. So its a lot cheaper to get a limited license rather than an unlimited one that is permanently bound to the product in perpetuity. Digital distribution wasn't even a consideration back then (steam wouldn't exist for another 4 years), and the idea that your game would live on beyond the original run of CD-ROMs wasn't something anybody thought about.

Here's hoping we get a gaming group that focuses on restoring these licenses, akin to Nightdive bringing back abandonware to become officialware. Would even say the same on bringing back licensed games like the LotR: Battle for Middle-earth duology, Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and Assault on Dark Athena to the likes of Steam and GOG without a hassle.

"This is not the only game from this developer I want to review" [Looks up who made this] Zono? That sounds weirdly familiar. ["MR. BONES"] Oh hell yeah!

I remember coming across to the demo of this game when I was a little kid. It was the first two episodes of Rimtech and it completely blew my mind. Since I was a little kid and no way knew where I could buy the whole game, I played the same two episodes for hours and hours. Heck, I don't even know whether a place in my country, Turkey, sold this at that time but I remember growing up and searching for a bootleg version of it in internet cafes later in my life yet, nobody seemed to have it or knew about it. Needless to say, I bought it today and played the skirmish the same way I played back when I was young. Nearly destroying the enemy just enough to not quit but to enough to leave me do what I want. Building bases and having a infighting with my combots among my ranks... After 20 years of searching and reuniting with this gem, I think it still holds up... Thank you Mandalore, for giving me a chance to fulfill my younger self's dream!

New chapter when?

One of my favorite memories of this game was playing on a large skirmish map that was a ruined city on the hardest difficulty. I instantly took the orbital layer and took it over and completely neglected my ground defenses. Some large amount of time later (however long it took the show i was watching to finish) i decided to stage my re-invasion of the surface. It was COVERED in enemy bases. Having read it now it almost felt like Blame!. This mass sprawling complex of endless AI hate. I'm not sure it'd hold up if I went back and tried to recreate it, but it was such a fun memory. It really is a shame though because you came to the same conclusion I did. There's something here, but it's an expansion and a polish away from being something great. Shame it never got that chance.

You must be new here.

"or just want to play bizarro Total Annihilation" But Mandalore, we already have Supreme Commander 2!

This game is seriously reminiscent of Earth 2150, a game I tried to play multiple time at multiple points in my life, but never figured out. That one also has weird factions and multiple map layers, and it also has fully customisable vehicles to boot and an interesting campaign imo. Really want to see a review!

It'd be interesting to see the three layers concept and mix-and-match mechs concept explored in a modern RTS. Too bad there isn't really an RTS market anymore.

So pilots can eject and go get another robot, with quad rockets. I see now, this is the Titanfall RTS.

Honestly, yeah. Seriously though Titanfall is so unloved, I blame the first game's exclusivity for the reason, but still, its a very pretty game with a lot of heart put into it.

Metal Fatigue and Stars! were probably my favourite "nobody else knew about them" games as a kid.

9:01 Quake 1 on Steam is also missing music ever since it's been on the platform. Though you can find the CD music elsewhere and have it going on a source port like Quakespasm, general rule of thumb is to avoid older game releases on Steam if possible.

The issues with Quake 1 and 2 were the licenses used for the soundtracks... Quake 1 being done by Nine Inch Nails, Quake 2 by Sonic Mayhem and a few other contributing artists like Rob Zombie. It's weird because all the music was composed FOR the games, but the licensing still makes it difficult to get a proper release. But yeah to your point, we can at least get the music going using source ports, which is how you probably wanna be playing them anyway.

@@Bukkarooo Music licencing for videogames is a complete mess. No one puts up with this kind of bullshit from the movie industry... they just have to put up with other bullshit, like having the option between watching a tedious (and worse) remake of a superior movie, or something "new" which actually turns out to be the same half-baked trope-filled unimaginative hero's journey seen thousands of times before. Sorry, went off on a tangent there. Anyway, stop removing music from older videogames music publishers, you money-hoarding trolls!

Granted, there's the recent remaster. Here's hoping Quake II gets the remaster treatment in the next few years.

【Shades Finnish Pirates】The lighning "Wilhelm scream" at the start of the video, what a treat :) Maybe we should see you play Tonsil Terror the game, you play the game with WASD and screaming we could hear the authentic Mandalore scream

I love your reviews! I honestly just watch them because it’s so relaxing and entertaining at the same time. And even though I may not touch most of the games you review, I love the attention to detail you have in all of them! Looking forward to the next one already!

2:35 ...I wanted to say "Supreme Commander", but that works too

Hey! I dont comment often but I wanted to let you know i really like your videos! I normally dont watch reviews on games i cant play but I never miss a mandalorian review. Good to see ya again!

I absolutely loved this game when I was a kid! Thank you for making a review. It's really cool to look back at it so many years later. I remember I used to rent this game at the library. Good times indeed. I guess you kind of did miss the part where you could capture an actual alien combot? I don't remember exactly but there's definitely a map where you can find a super powerfull alien combot smack in the middle of the map.

Map 26 - The Prize

I really loved that game, it's one of my favorite RTS games of all time. At the time I played it none of those downsides seemed to matter, the uniqueness of the giant robots with customizable parts was enough to carry it.

This was my favorite RTS game when I was young. Nice to see you going through it.

One of my childhood favorites, because of the mechs and the parts system obviously, but just that kept me glued to the screen for hours...

I loved this game. Collecting solar energy was so fun, and taking/researching the combot parts. Your reviews are something special.

Oh, yeah, this baby caught me off guard back in the day! I didn't know anything about it, expected a mediocre RTS to kill some time. And you're probably right, it's still is a mediocre RTS, but the mech gimmick made me play it a lot longer than I assumed.

"So there'll be a much different mech game next time around. A pretty good one. A GREAT one." Goddamn it Mandalore I just watched this and the suspense is already killing me

HI @MandaloreGaming, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am a big fan of your videos and have watched almost every single one of your videos. I look forward to your videos because I absolutely love the way you explain every single detail and that is something I truly appreciate in a gamer. But my thanks isn't just for your game videos/reviews, it's for something extremely important to me. For many years of my gaming life, there was this game that eluded me completely. I only knew a single mechanic in it - 'You could pick up enemy robot parts and make robots at your base'. I have searched high & low for a game with that description but to no avail. At the time I played this, I was extremely young & was playing a demo version that was available in India which is a huge thing. So when I tuned into your latest video - Metal Fatigue - I kid you not, I leapt in absolute joy. The moment you mentioned about robot parts falling off, a well of memories came back to me and I finally found the game I have been looking for almost 20 years I guess. I truly want to say this, 'Thank You'. Thank you very much for bringing back a piece of my childhood to me. Apologies for such a lengthy comment but I just had to tell you that you have changed my life today. Thanks a bunch. Oh also, I did buy EYE Divine Cybermancy because of you - What a rocking review that was!

I will never get tired of the way you use that electrified sound effect. Idk why, it always gets me when I least expect it and cracks me up.

That part salvaging and mix/matching system sounds pretty neat. Can't think of a different RTS doing something like that. A lot of old games had some really neat ideas that aren't explored even to this day

I tried finding this game in the last few years with no luck, trying so many crazy search terms and checking images to find it. After all this time, not only do I find it, but as a Mandalore review?! Thank you for the review (I've not watched it yet), but damn this was one of those early teen games I lived on for awhile.

Not sure if I'm alone with this but these retro reviews are the best part of your channel. As a suggestion for a cult classic RTS, check out Populous The Beginning, it's really unique and builds upon the original isometric games with more modern real time strategy shenanigans. The atmosphere and music are still excellent bar none.

Loved playing this game as a kid at my daycare so much.

This makes me wanna play the Metaltech Earthsiege games and the Cyberstorm turn based games.

Seeing this I was reminded of "Earth 2150" a game I remember well from back then. Ever played it? Love your videos btw, hope you are doing well

Bogdan Bogdanoff, yes, hope you picked it up, it’s both on Steam and GOG. As for the RTS resurgence - C&C Remastered did exceptionally good and also Iron Harvest released - and it’s fukken awesome. I can’t remember when was the last time RTS Campaign captivated and immersed me. Maybe you’re right, maybe RTS resurgence is happening.

This game was a highlight of my childhood. I wish someone would take their concepts and do it better in a modern take.

I loved this game in my early teens, but I didn't know what it was called. I was certain at some point, that I just imagined the game exists. This is a revelation to me, thank you so much :D

I would love a remake of this! One of my favorite old-school RTS games

Mandalore and Robbaz are the only two youtubers who’s videos I click like on before watching the video

All factions in video games are variations on the same three archetypes: The vaguely American empire of boxy tanky blue guys, the red ragtag aggressive rebels, and the purple alien obsessed religious zealots with advanced technology. In C&C Tiberium Wars you've got GDI, NOD, and Scrin in that order. The variations being that the Scrin aren't obsessed with aliens, they are aliens. In Supreme Commander, you've got the UEF, the Cybran, and the Aeon Illuminate. Except the Cybrans aren't ragtag, their tech is more advanced Aeon tech in some aspects like AI because they're cyborgs, and they're also very well organized since they're led by QAI. Also the Aeon are green. Even in Brigador, you've got the Loyalists, the Corvid, and Spacers. The colors are all different with grey yellow Loyalists, light blue Corvids, and wacky orange white Spacers. Also, the Spacers aren't obsessed with aliens, they're just crazy space weirdos. But there's a clear trend, if you've got three factions they're gonna be these three factions. And if you've got two it'll just be the first two, and then when they add a third, it'll be the alien dudes.

Remember being like 12 years old and going to an Electronic Boutique (remember those) and pickup up the box for this game and thinking it was the coolest thing ever (as i loved mech stuff as a kid, thanks gundam wing). Got the game and could never get it to work on my PC. Years later I found out the devs that made this game also made one of my favorite jank console rts games, Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction. Studio only made ports aftter thant and closed down by 2007. rip Zono

Thank you so much mandalore for bringing back my childhood.

@ 7:54 that was a very subtle but funny visual gag, well played sir.

Freelancer might be a good choice for a game to try out. I think it's old enough to be worth trying now. Especially with the Discovery mod. It's a pretty great game to compare to the current state of Open World space games.

I remember pestering my parents for this game for 2 months before my 11th birthday; I played this game into the ground before i got sucked into mmos

I'm too poor to support you monetarily but I want you know that if I could I'd bankroll the heck out of you, your videos are great and I love them; I especially love how you've been slipping more and more jokes in as time goes on.

Metal Fatigue is one of my fav rts from that era right behind Conquest Frontier Wars, and they both dont get enough love. Glad you shining a light on it, even if its not the most positive light.

With millions/billions of games, thousands of developers, and many variations of the same idea out there, there's bound to be ones eerily similar to each other in some form.

Yeah, I remember buying this game from Mediaplay and playing it just because it had customizable giant mechs in RTS. Great to see I wasn't the only one who played it years ago.

Awesome video, thanks for covering this game. For me it was a jewel, watching back then as a 12 year old the robots picking up the part of their enemies blew my mind lol.
