| History of this site: | Not too much to tell. I got into PC Game Music in 96
when I noticed that my "Noctropolis" game CD had track names
printed on the CD. I popped it into my CD player and was blown
away by the lack of genre restriction, creativity, and depth of the
music. Ever since then I've been collecting soundtracks as I find
them. Recently I've noticed how little internet presence there is
for the computer side of this art form so I decided to create one.
I'm trying to make the most comprehensive list, with as
much knowledge as is known about all PC Game Soundtracks. Sorta' a
MobyGames of pc
game music. |

| Definition of "PC Game Soundtrack" used in this site: | I've given up trying to define it.
Basically it's up to my judgment as long as it meets the below guidelines. Guidelines: 1.) Cannot have any portion of retail game code on the disc. Examples: -Quest For Glory 5 Soundtrack is okay because it contains the game demo. -No One Lives Forever -Game Of The Year Edition CD #2 does not count because it contains code and is needed in order to install and play the game. 2.) Game must have been originally developed for the computer. Examples: -Worms 2 Soundtrack counts because the game was released for computer, then later ported to the consoles. -Final Fantasy 7 Soundtrack does not count because the game was a playstation product before it was ported to the PC. |

| What I would appreciate from you: | As much feedback as possible. I'm putting up as much
info as I have, but I know that each of you out there knows at least one
thing that I don't. So please tell! If you know a vendor for
a soundtrack that I didn't mention in the "Available At:"
field... Tell me, I'll update the site. If you know a
soundtrack that I don't have up... Tell me, If I can find a copy
(or at least needed info), I'll add it to the site. Also, let me
know what else you'd like to see on the site. |

| About me: |
|
I'm a Information Systems Management
student at the University Of Akron in Akron OH. I also work for
the Akron Area YMCA doing computer support and repair. With what little remaining time I
have left, I rock out playing bass guitar for a punk rock outfit known
as SKYCHIEF.
I've been an avid computer gamer nearly my entire life and have been
collecting game soundtracks for almost 10 years now.

| One last thing: | THANK YOU! I appreciate you stopping by and taking
an interest in what, in my opinion, is the most underrated factor in all
entertainment... MUSIC. I've spent weeks and lots of money
making this site possible. Means the world to me that you took the
time to check it out. -smitty |
