A little gem on the Sega Saturn’s Quake Soundtrack

Sometimes Twitter has a use. I’ve been using it to try convincing Sascha Dikiciyan (Sonic Mayhem) to release Methods of Destruction. Well, that did not work but I saw the following conversation:

Quake for the Sega Saturn has an additional CD audio track, namely the track B7 from Sonic Mayhem’s Methods of Destruction. Well, I set out to get it and what I got was ugly. First of all, the track is only on the US release. And then comes something really ugly. They shrunk all the originals tracks. Not only on the US release to make room for the track. But also on the PAL/EU one where it would not be needed. Well, lazy porting after licensing issues I guess.

Take a look at this if you want a glimpse. The first one is always the full PC soundtrack. Long story short, I decided to host a copy of the track until further notice. You could also get a used copy of Quake for the Sega Saturn (the US version!) very cheaply (just wait if there is no decent offer anywhere).
