We'll that stinks... the breaking VLC player that broke the old dump off. Ugh players usually break. But hey at least the galaxian 3 project dragoon LD made it alive. But attack of the zolgear... I've been waiting to play this for so long. I'm still waiting patiently though while listening to GT-16 / GT-28 tracks  8) keep up the good work on the LD dumping.  ;)

Thanks for the extra songs. Really cool to hear the songs without loading youtube to listen to them.

I just listened to the galaxian 3 wonder eggs music and the 3.013 (I forgot what it is) scenario and it seems they too were slightly updated (though I believe it is from the 3.000 scenario version with other music), And I just listened to final lap 2 tracks that are labeled galaxian 3 and they sound totally different from the one in starblade ost. In the 1st scenario the music at the beginning has that slightly added sound while on the 2nd, it remains the same. In techno beat, the galaxian 3 track is what seems to be a DJ remix of the mission successful theme (theme of galaxian 3). In final lap 2 ost, the galaxian 3 tracks are from the 1.0 version of the attraction while on the starblade ost, the galaxian 3 tracks are from the 3.0. If I remember correctly however, on the pre show of galaxian3, there was also music that was not included in the ost. It could have only been exclusive in WonderEggs

http://namcomuseum.tumblr.com/post/78803083309/the-soundtrack-to-namcos-groundbreaking-1991

There is a Starblade OST without Galaxian3 in it. In fact, It actually has 7 Tracks in it:

1. Prologue to STARBLADE
2. Scramble - Arrival on Red Eye
3. Descend to Red Eye - Destruction of Power Stone
4. Penetration Into Iceberg
5. Single Combat with Commander - Return to Mothership
6. Character Data File
7. Epilogue of STARBLADE

This soundtrack's cover is quite almost the same to the other starblade soundtrack (one with galaxian3 on it)

also on the extracted PS1 version of Ridge Racer Car Paint Sprites: http://namcomuseum.tumblr.com/image/48275023178
on the left is the starblade logo. also if you look very closely on the red car paint sprites, you can see the blue word "Galaxian3" along with yellow world "Pac Man" on it. Also if you look even more closly on the red and yellow car paint sprites, you can even see the Blue Word "Zolgear" and Black Word "UGSF" on it. "Zolgear" word is also next to the number 18. Also in the arcade version of ridge racer 2 is Attack of the zoolgear sign while in Ridge Racer 1 arcade version there are a couple "WonderEggs" signs

Weird.

It was probably a re-release of GSE #7 without the other songs due to the attraction's closing, or, at least, the ride's.

About the RR1 sprites, I know. There's also a G3 label on the side of the cabinet of the game.

I searched for this starblade image and I found the results. Apparently, It appears to actually be a LD. I think the 7 tracks were actually inplemented in them.

Idk if this comment could be in this thread or the Wonder Eggs thread but...

(translated to english in japanese wikipedia of Wonder Eggs)

"In 1994 Victor music CD 6 songs were recorded newly written music with 9 songs of Wonder Egg in than "THE ELDS STORY OF ..." has been released."
 
Well I found the "Wonder Eggs 2nd Anniversary The Elds Story of..." album. There was a Namco Wonder Eggs Label. 15 tracks

http://vgmdb.net/album/5938

According to VGMDB, 1-6 of the tracks are from ELDS STORY. The rest of the tracks (7-15) are from the Wonder Eggs park

download (Unfortunately Tracks have to be downloaded seperately, which can be annoying): http://chauthanh.info/animeost/album/wonder-eggs-2nd-anniversary-the-elds-story-of

There was also a cancelled album "Namco Music Wonder Box" that would have been released Feb, 23, 2005. It would have contained 39 CDs (including Galaxian3 and Starblade) and a Bonus CD.

also found another website showing more screenshots of galaxian3 attraction: http://www.bandainamcogames.co.jp/gallery/ayumi/archive/gala3/index.html

http://vgmdb.net/album/14800

There's 8 courses + Tone of the DRAGOON course1.1

NOTE: This album also includes the mobile versions of the music and SFX. So there was either a mobile version of the game that we did not know existed, or they exclusively made it to pay homage to old mobile devices.

I have to get this off my chest.



I took a listen to it today after getting it from ffshrine, and it just took me by surprise!  :shock:

I know, we already have the arranged Starblade soundtrack, but the one in the NAMCO Game Sound Express was a little different than the one heard on the Laserdisc, unlike this latest album, which has arranged tracks (Laserdisc Version), not to mention the previously unreleased "CHARACTER SHOW".

We could label the two of them... Starblade (NAMCO Game Sound Express ver.), and Starblade (Laserdisc w/o SFX edition).

One thing bad about this album, however, is that they used the VOICE sounds from the arcade PCB boards (Therefore very low quality), compared to NAMCO Game Sound Express using the masters for the VOICE lines (Therefore... well you get the idea).

I think we should expect Vol. 6 to do GALAXIAN3, previously unreleased tracks, and (again) Laserdisc versions.

Someone uploaded the LD music to Nicovideo if you want to hear it all: http://www.nicozon.net/watch/sm14981436

I like the first track in particular that plays over the intro, "Space Genetation"...I wonder where the track titles are from?

Well, I'm back!

I thought I'd post this here, since I posted my original files on this thread as well. I recently revisited the Laserdisc soundtrack, and going back to my old track files for archival purposes made me realize how badly they needed an update. The new version is in lossless WAV, featuring heavily improved sound quality over the previous release.

The new version is more complete, as well, featuring longer versions of most tracks than the earlier MP3 variants. I also included the short Zolgear intro, which exists on the Zolgear Game Sound Express disc, to transition between the two games' soundtracks on the disc.

Download:

(Edit 2018-06-02: Realized the "Zolgear" bumper track was on GSE No. 16. [Toykyle] Changed usage purpose to transitional between soundtracks.)

Nice. It's good to see the compilation music for GALAXIAN3 be preserved, lossless especially.  ;D

Also, quick note: Track "04 - The Cause Was Found" is actually on Volume 16th (Attack of the Zolgear) of the NAMCO Game Sound Express series as track 11, "Zolgear".

Whoops. I'll fix the main post.

I'll probably leave it in this compilation, though; it works well as a transition between the Dragoon and Zolgear tracks.
