"Quest for Glory 5: Dragon Fire" music from QuestStudios?

[DissoluteDog]

Hello,

Sorry if this has been discussed or answered before, but I have been looking for the music tracks for "Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire" that used to be available on Tom Lewandowski's (?) QuestStudios website some years ago. The page dedicated to that game --- if I recall correctly --- included both the tracks from the official soundtrack CD and also the many tracks in the game that were not included on the soundtrack CD, made available on QuestStudios as .ogg and/or .mp3 files.

Please, does anybody know how/where to get the QuestStudios files for "Quest for Glory V"?

Others will probably have better information on this than me (perhaps someone will even have a backup), but it appears that archive.org didn't save the mp3s, sadly: https://web.archive.org/web/20141013031 ... fg5cd.html

From the broken mp3 links there, I searched for the first two file names, but didn't turn up more than generic sources. I know you're probably not looking for them, but they may be at least related to what you want: http://sierrachest.com/gfx/games/QFG5/music/, https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-so ... ased-songs, https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-so ... soundtrack

Since the tracks were simply titled versions of the extracted CD digital audio, it's not like a MIDI score Tom carefully edited and recorded that one cannot duplicate themselves.

Thus, anyone can come to the same end result by extracting the game's resources. Some of the links Jaffa included may be sufficient, otherwise extract them using a tool like GAP.

Hey, thank you so much for the help and the links! =) Your archive.org link was especially helpful in jogging my memory about what music files were listed on the QuestStudios page back then!

I did indeed find the khinsider.com pages as well, and they are great --- featuring many musical pieces from the game that even QuestStudios did not have! But from what I recall especially now looking at the archive.org link, a few of the QuestStudios tracks seemed to be unique... in the sense that QuestStudio's "unique" tracks seemed to be compilations of a few different files that had undergone some nice basic editing to form new, longer tracks that musically flowed more smoothly (like QuestStudio's Track 11: Gnome Ann's Inn, Track 27: The Rite Of Destiny Full, Track 22: Battle Themes, and maybe some others).

Like you said, it would be nice if someone comes along here who had saved all those "unique" tracks in particular. I suppose it's not the biggest deal since we have the technically-more-complete game music at khinsider.com, but still! It would be nice to have both, that's all.

No problem, Spikey! Happy to help.

Hey thank you to everyone here for all your help! Quest for Glory is personally my favorite computer-game series ever, and the music is quite special to me! I really appreciate everyone's help in getting the music for Part 5; you are my heroes! ^_^

We are all happy to help a fellow Sierra fan here. Enjoy!

The Quest for Glory 5 soundtrack is one of my favourites. If anyone still has the tracks that were on the QuestStudios website saved somewhere, could I have them too?
