I got the game because it looked like it would be a fun adventure, based on the cover. And it had quest in the title. Ooh, I’d like to embark on a quest! And then it was more just a kid walking around for weeks on end and fighting stuff. Not much of a quest at all. I keep it for the nostalgia, but not for playing. Never again.

Quest 64 is a name that’s popped up quite a bit over the years. I’ve never heard anything good about it, but somehow it sounds like a game most N64-era gamers have played.

What’s the deal with that game?

I can definitely see what you like about this song. It gives me this mysterious feeling, like you’re in a beautiful location, but you can’t really take it all in because danger lurks behind every tree, and you never know what might jump out at you. Well, I guess you do. Dinosaurs, most likely.

And yes, I can definitely think of songs I loved from games I didn’t particularly enjoy. (Actually, I should write Resonance posts about them, shouldn’t I?) Two songs that spring to mind are from Quest 64, a truly boring game that is home to a few songs I’ll never forget. The Isle of Skye is a simple song that gives the island where it is played a really mysterious feel that I can’t describe. It just makes the place feel so magical, like there is so much more to this place than just what the game shows. The other song takes place in this spooky town near the end of the game that I can never remember the name of. It was really just the first place that made me feel some of the danger the game had been hinting at all that time. In the end, though, I found that the song made the location feel far more important than it ended up being.
