Police Quest 1 Symphonic Suite

Police Quest 1 - In Pursuit of Death Angel
You can listen to and download my version of the music here:
Police Quest 1 Suite

Original Composer: Rob Atesalp

Produced by Jim Walls for Sierra and originally released in 1987.  It was eventually remade in 1992 using 256 color VGA graphics and the SCI engine.  More about this game can be read HERE

For my first music post, I've taken several of my favorite themes from Police Quest 1 and have updated them to make them much more cinematic.  This piece features a full orchestra, live guitar, and is very much in the style of Trevor Rabin and Mark Mancina, which seemed very fitting for the vibe.  So if you're a fan of film scores such as Bad Boys and Enemy of the State, you'll love this suite I've put together.  The themes are used liberally here and should be instantly recognizable to you fellow fans of the PQ series.


For reference, to hear exactly how Ive updated this piece, the original version of the Intro (which I used for the first half of this suite) can be heard here:
Police Quest 1 - Intro - Roland MT 32

The original version of Hoffmans Arrest (which is the second half of the suite) was featured in the VGA remake and can be heard in its midi form here:

Up next, a slew of cues from Police Quest III composed by the iconic Jan Hammer.
