Video I made today for the ScummVM devs to see the differences between the DOS and Windows music tracks in King's Quest 5. Thought you might find it interesting.

Interesting. The DOS versions of the Willow theme (and the motivic fragments in other scenes) all start on the root, while the Windows versions start on the third with an inverted line.

I always loved that theme from the dark forest and have been meaning to transcribe it for years. Thanks for posting this!

Wow, totally missed that. Excellent! Thanks!

So Seibert has a degree in classical guitar? I also saw on his site that Al Lowe wrote the LSL theme. Some talented guys to write the music *and* do all that programming.

Me, my programming skills end at getting a game to work in DOSBox. :lol:
