Secret of Vulcan Fury Soundtrack

XCV330

I know the voice overs became part of the legal issues surrounding the game, but there are hints of a really good soundtrack from the commercials. Obviously the game music would have been different due to the technical limitations of the time, but was the soundtrack ever found or made available? I know most parts of the game were lost or destroyed. I was just curious if anyone knew, regarding this.
 
At this point it's might be safe to say this game, it's voice work and music are long gone, no doubt wiped away by some debt collector selling on the equipment removed from the games devs offices on the day interplay went down the toilet. :(

Supposedly at some point later on, somebody who had worked for Interplay in the nineties said that the audio recordings for TSOVF were lost by Interplay due to backup failure , or something like that.

It's been suggested several times that an animated episode/movie should have been made with the soundtrack (that's assuming that somebody out there had actually managed to save all the audio). But it would be quite a task to re-work a story meant for an interactive game into a non-interactive, passive viewing experience using the exact same dialog.

ah well. I suspected that might be the case. I still have a hope that one day that info will emerge somewhere. I knew the dialogues were supposedly lost, just was not sure about the rest of the audio.
 
Vulcan Fury looked so much fun in that trailer. It's a shame the audio was lost. I would be saying today the same thing what I was thinking about the A Final Unity audio, is that someone could animate it and make like a fan film or web series. Too bad.
 
Part of me hopes there's a file of audio out there in a vault that can be recovered - think of it -- a brand new story starring Shatner, Nimoy, Doohan, Nichols, Takei, Koenig and Lenard (Sarek) as their old characters?!
 
If they ever find the audio I would prefer them making Vulcan Fury into an animated series along with Judgement Rites and 25th Anniversary Edition.Then we would have The Animated Series and the computer games standing in as the final 2 years of the original 5 year mission.

I've thought this for a long time! Or an animated movie or two? as the actors sound older, could the action be shifted to the movie era? There have been a couple of attempts at this with Judgement Rites:

Could they be found like missing Doctor Who episodes - safely archived, in a church crypt, private collection or mislabelled? Has anyone tried looking for it?

NEW STAR TREK WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST, PEOPLE!!! MOSTLY NO LONGER WITH US. HELLO!?!?!?!!?

They could do them as animated movies as well. If Paramount + wanted to make three movies out of the games, that would be all right with me as well. Whatever they think would work better with the audience would be fine with me. It is just frustrating to see the material have such a limited audience. There is an audience for these stories. The 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Animated Series is coming up in September 2023. I would love to see a major announcement about this soon.
 
I’m not a gamer but going by YouTube there’s at least a 20 ep seasons worth of material and maybe a movie, that’s just counting 25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites alone!

Beyond Antares in particular showed the potential, new look characters but familiar voices. Though it would be an excuse to get TAS Chekov!

movie era would give a chance to play with a new visual language. Either after TMP or at a push either side of ST5 are the only gaps though. We’ve had so much 5YM stuff though with the comics and two major fan series, would be nice for the change

hi ow far do you go though? Could A Final Unity make a new TNG story? Harbinger or Elite Force for DS9 or VGR? The Kirk era stuff still has most potential I feel.

If I were in charge, I'd do a remake of 25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites as modern games, keep the same dialog and adapt the settings and puzzles to a 3D world, and have options for different "skins" for the characters and ships from the pilots, TOS, the movie era, DSC, even the JJ-Verse movies that you unlock as you play the game. Even let you mix and match. The TWOK-era crew on the ST'09 Enterprise with DSC Klingons and TOS Romulans.

The trouble with "really" setting it in my beloved movie-era, of course, is everyone has the wrong ranks. Though, come to think of it, it's possible they're not referred to by rank in dialog often, or at all...

Ah like Arkham? I’d still vote movie or series. Perhaps all 3? TOS still sells

I knew about TNG A Final Unity, but I never heard about the DS9 or Voyager games. All those games could be turned into animated movies. A great project for Paramount +. I was thinking at work about all the potential episodes that could be out there and know that the guy who put together that Beyond Antares episode claims to have a lot more audio of the original cast. I was thinking if they had about 44 episodes from TAS and the computer games then it could count as the fourth and fifth year of the original five year mission, but if they had 50 or more episodes then they could repurpose the episodes as the second five year mission era. Star Trek: Phase Two comes to life in animated form. Paramount + likes doing 10 episode seasons so 10 X 5 = 50 would be enough episodes to do the second five year mission. Star Trek: Phase Two has a nice ring to it.

you basically want it all! Hehe


44+, really? How did you work that number out? Lol if that guy can extract every single line someone else can!

I am being a little greedy. LOL! The guy who put together the Beyond Antares episode has claimed that he had every bit of audio that the original cast ever did. So he says that he has the computer games 25th Anniversary Edition which did 7 episodes, Judgement Rites which did 8 episodes and an early version of Secret of Vulcan Fury which Dorothy Fontana stated in a 2007 Trek Movie interview was 5 stories. So 7+8+5 =20. He also claimed that the cast did 22 Story Records in the 1970s. What did come out on Peter Pan/Power Records in the 1970s were 11 short story Star Trek episodes which lasted about 15 minutes each. These episodes were done by different actors and not our heroes. His claims that there were 22 short story episodes of Star Trek done right after The Animated Series and the discovery of Secret of Vulcan Fury caught my attention. So my addition says that 22 Animated Episodes plus 22 Story Records plus 20 Computer Game episodes = 64 episodes. I try and keep this in perspective and remain skeptical and kind of doubt his claims. But if he were sitting on all this Star Trek audio, I would love to see CBS purchase it from him and make new Star Trek Animated Episodes. OK, my rant is over for now. LOL!
