MIDI Week Singles: "Plains Theme" - Super Amazing Wagon Adventure (PC)

 


"Plains Theme" from Super Amazing Wagon Adventure on Windows & Xbox 360 (2012)
Composer: sparsevector
Album: Music from and Inspired by the Video Game Super Amazing Wagon Adventure 
Label: Self-Released
Publisher: sparsevector
Developer: sparsevector


Before writing this article, it had been 12 years since I last played Super Amazing Wagon Adventure although the music crops up every so often when I shuffle my music, and the sparsevector's soundtrack has stuck with me all these years, even if I never completed the game or made it very far.  I remember I could consistently make it from the first stage in the Forest to the second stage in the Plains, but not much further than that.

As for the song itself, there's so much I love about it.  It just exudes the synth pop of the 1980s. From the opening MIDI synthesizers, the popping drum machine, and even the melody sound like they were written 40 years ago, which perfect for a bullet/deer/Buffalo/unicorn shooter take on The Oregon Trail.
