Wondering About My Loved Ones is one of my favorites. Appears also in Spear of Destiny https://chiptune.app/?play=C-eWH0LI
I knew I should’ve paid extra and gotten the Sound Blaster!
Thats Ad Lib type music no?
Pulled out my guitar to play the Duke Nukem theme and At Doom's Gate (...uh, minus those runs...)
NEDM, Prince.

The sound of Doom was a big part of why it was so immersive, and everyone focuses on the mobs and gunshots (there's some pretty cool positional audio for the time), but the music really played a big part of the whole atmosphere.

RIP Legend.

F.

Such a good composer for all of those games I can remember those songs still.

At Doom's Gate has been stuck in my head for decades. RIP.
Rest in peace.
RIP Legend.

Neat that just last month the Library of Congress added the Doom soundtrack to its registry too

Hell put in a special petition to heaven to at least borrow him for a bit—not to torture him, mind, but to retain him to score their official soundtrack.
That E1M1 song is iconic. That will be played 00s of years from now, it will stand the test of time.
mein leben!
Guten Tag!
