Brandish 1 & 2 PC98 Game Recordings

Among Falcom’ successful series, Brandish is one of those that gets the less attention. Perhaps the fact it’s actually not a part of the Dragonslayer timeline is to blame ? Who knows …

Anyway, Brandish music, while still having that particular Falcom sound, is a lot more melancholic and dark than it’s fellow trademarks. I personally love the resulting atmosphere and melodies, especially in Brandish 1 which got some of my favourite Falcom tunes (oh Mieko Ishikawa <3).

Those 2 recordings were given to me by a Japanese guy I met on Last.fm. They sound different from the original soundtracks (different hardware I guess) and are actually looped twice.

Asteka 2 PC88 Game Recording

Here’s the PC88 music from a 1986 Falcom game: Asteka 2. The game was also released on NES and you can find a game log at Slick Productions (search for Tombs and Treasure). A remake was also made for Sega Saturn’s Falcom Classics 2, which contained an audio bonus CD.

The music here is pretty simple and nice and composed by the great Takahito Abe.

This is part of a huge series of Falcom retro PC game rips I found on Japanese P2Ps. I have no way to be sure, but considering some of the material I found, I’d say most of those are actual hardware recordings.

Ys 1 & 2 - PCE Game Recording & Redbook Audio

And there goes a first Falcom release. Falcom PC Engine games are famous for their redbook audio (CDDA tracks), which were most of the time handled by Ryo Yonemitsu. However, the music generated by the PCE itself remained, at that time, unavailable (game logs were made possible since then, though). Anyway, this archive consists of both the redbook tracks and the chiptunes.
