I remember owning a handful of Jeremy Soule Realaudio(!) files in the early 2000s – now long since lost. The great TOTAL ANNIHILATION was one of the them, but there was another very melodic tune that I’ve never been able to let go since. Kinda ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES-like in its string ostinato, with a playful heroic theme played as counterpoint. I’ve not been able to find it again.

Thanks for the heads-up on this GUILD WARS thing; I’ll give it a whirl, it’s been years since I’ve listened to him.

Besides that he seems to be a “complicated person”, he did some great game scores. TOTAL ANNIHILATION is great one, I have a CD rip as it had audio tracks. I have several scores by him. ICEWIND DALE is a favorite and his Harry Potter game scores are also quite good.

TOTAL ANNIHILATION was a terrific game, and the PC-ROM discs doubled as audio discs, you could just play them in any regular CD player. I still have the game and have ripped the music.

I remember to this day that I had an unusual way to play the game that I found a lot of fun. I often had it run by itself “on the side”, just to check how it’s doing.
What I did was to select an interesting map (I loved the one with two coasts and a lot of water in between), built an airport right away, and a scout plane and a transport plane. Then I immediately started to look for the opposing commander. When I found him, I captured him in the transport plane (usually by sacrificing my scout plane, because at this early stage, he could rarely fire more than one devastating shot) and kept him there. Then I built my entire base, complete with giving instructions to all vehicles, boats or planes what they were to guard or patrol. When I was done, I “freed” the opposing commander, and then just waited for him to build his own army and to attack my base, and just watch if my automated defense lines stood. I sometimes had it play in the background for hours when I was doing something else, like reading a book somewhere, just occasionally checking on the PC what the game was doing. Had a great time with that game in the late 1990s. 😀

I never played the actual game itself but I remember I had a demo with one level or so.

Didn’t Jeremy Soule have an online store where you could buy a lot of his early game scores?

I remember regularly acquiring several of his albums from there.
