Hello people, this is a retro piece I did some months ago for a competition where the theme was "Retro". I did it thinking of old video games and wanted somewhat to paint a story with the music. So, I tried to make this like a small soundtrack of an old video game that doesn't exist.
The piece is 19mins long and was done in 2 days and half. I did this in a horrible rush so there are mistakes around and is unfinished (That is the reason of the tittle). It is missing a final boss battle and last moments "scenes" when the Evil guy is defeated and all turns in peace and joy again.
I worked this typing all the score in finale for import it in a midi format to FL Studio where I added effects and other stuffs for the final product. I wanted to stay with just 8-bit sounds but I felt the urge to use a soundfont with choir and the drum set in some parts. So, is not so retro like to simulate the old sounds of 8-bit of games.
Here is a list of how goes the music:
I. Logo Music
II. Prologue
III. Evil Theme
IV. Start Menu (Main Theme)
V. Village & Gypsy Dance Theme
VI. The village is attacked, Evil Theme & hero theme (The village is attacked by the evil guys, the leader of them does the apparition when his theme is played; The hero appears stopping the theme counter-attacking them, here his theme is played. After this there is a small theme of worry)
VII. Journey Theme (The hero goes in a journey to search the leader of the evil guys to defeat them and to finish with the horror he is causing in the village).
VIII. Battle Theme (The hero confront bad guys whiles he is on his journey).
IX. Victory Theme (This was recycled from something I did prevously).
X. Dungeon Theme
XI. Mini-Boss theme (Deadline time was killing me, so, here I rushed everything more and decided to bring the Evil theme for then...)
XII. Game Over (Last hour was ther so needed to give a Game Over for give my entry).
XIII. End Credits (The End credits appears and short recapitulation of some of the themes).
Actually with the missed parts the piece is over 30min long. The last boss battle is more that 5min long plus the Mini-boss theme fixed and extended & the Last moments scenes it turn it in a longer piece. By the way the last boss battle theme is the Evil theme arranged completely.
Anyway even if I was in a rush of hours I really enjoyed composing this, it was fun for me to compose music of 8-bit sounds.

The unfinished game of a Hero - eSnips, share anything (You can download it from there if you don't want to listen to it on the page).
Note:
The previous info is a paste of one of my posts in another forum. I am posting it here for people to listen to it. And I don't know when I will take my time to fix it and to add the rest of music, if I really have time...
