Short tribute to an old Amiga game. Wouldn't exactly call this a remake since it's not very faithfull to original music which is quite minimalistic and ambient-like. Was a bit lazy and also broke my headphones while working on this track so there's an excuse to give up. Just something I did quickly for fun, nothing too ambitious. Might do an extended version someday or not...
Video is from Amiga version intro with a short loop at the end.
Created with Renoise, no VSTs, only samples.
Sample credits:
Words + Strings (It Came From The Desert 1 & 2) OST by Greg Haggard and Jim Simmons
Minigun: Syndicate (Amiga version)
Drums, bazz + melody: Various sample packs
Air raid siren: ilovewavs.com/Effects/War/War.htm (I think)
Scream + shorter bazz sound : Myself
All feedback and critique is welcome. Thanks to everyone for watching my videos. Nice to know there are still people enjoying the old stuff :)

![The Gene Machine (PC DOS) longplay
Point & click adventure game developed by Divide By Zero and released in 1996. The plot shared many common elements with Jules Vernes Around the World in Eighty Days, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and From the Earth to the Moon, as well as many other literary and historical references to Victorian England, such as Sherlock Holmes, Treasure Island, The Time Machine, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Jack the Ripper and many others [Wikipedia].
This game is slightly better than the adventure game, Guilty developed the previous year by the same group. This game has better interface, graphics, voice acting and is altogether more polished. Few jokes are even a bit funny at the beginning. But when every (self directed) parodic remark turns out to be about the nobility of the main protagonist and he mocking his lowly manservant, it becomes tedious to listen much too early and furthers the one dimensional appearance of both protagonists. Too bad the opportunity to write proper dialogue between the characters was wasted, couldve been much more interesting. In this respect, the game is very similar to Guilty, where the protagonists also loop similar insults over and over again.
