« Other / Games - Babylon 5 Into the Fire

2020.03.04
In 1998, Sierra Software were working on a flight simulator game for Windows based on Babylon 5, called Into the Fire.
Sierra closed down its software development house when the game was not far from completion. 
Quite a few playable Alpha versions of the game can be downloaded from various websites.

Christopher Franke; the composer of the music for all 5 seasons of Babylon 5; as well as most of the TV movies, finished a vast number of new themes for the Into the Fire game.
These themes are mostly 30 seconds long and the game's logic would have matched the music being played to the situation and events taking place in the game.

The full soundtrack was released (or more probably leaked) on a CD, containing 5x tracks; each around 11 minutes 20 seconds in length.  Apparently only 5 copies of the disc were issued.

These full length versions took quite a bit of tracking down. Only thanks to babylonfan at B5TV.com, did I manage to get a hold of them:
