Deadly Gentlemen
Dec. 25th, 2008 10:48 amSomehow I started a tradition of finding and sharing unusual Christmas music over the last few years, so this time here's an MP3 rendition of MIDI-rock Deadly Gentlemen.
This is from Rise of the Triad, Tom Hall's attempt at a Mortal Kombat-style piece of lunacy, and played as a replacement for the first level music if your computer's date was set to anywhere near Christmas. The game came out of the rest of ID Software rejecting most of his design document for the original Doom, prompting him to go off and do it with a group of people that he christened The Developers of Incredible Power instead. (The game worked out quite well as a sort of mad Doom alternative that didn't take itself at all seriously, and the way that it was obviously made by a group of Red Dwarf fans was very welcome, but it was the only one they ever did.)
I rather miss when Lee Jackson and Bobby Prince did the music for these games. And when Apogee weren't a global joke.
