Music

The music of Star Control 2 is excellent and there’s an unexpected story behind that:

One of the most admired facets of Star Control II was its music. Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford decided to use the Amiga’s MOD format for the game’s music, which provided richer sound than the MIDI music that most contemporary games used. A public contest was held, with the winners receiving prize money and having their music included in the game. Riku Nuottajärvi won the main prize, as well as several regular prizes. Other contributors were Eric Berge, Aaron Grier, and Kevin Palivec. Marc Brown also won a prize and is credited, but his track, sc2.marucombat1, did not get included in the game. After the contest, Dan Nicholson was hired to compose the rest of the game’s soundtrack.
Listening to some Star Control 2 music on YouTube. A guy comments:
I wrote this song 19 years ago. so glad people still enjoy after all this time.
But that comment was written 13 years ago.
And now that you are reading about it on this website, be sure to check how many years have passed since I wrote this.
