- Yes! Homeworld (The Ladder) 9:33
Nothing can take us far enough
Emotion... far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in
Nothing can bridge our souls.
Devotion... fast enough together
As the power proves you right
Right enough to let you begin
So many displaced among the future dreamers
Realised their doubles
Took a new step
A question of origin
Only in the recent past
Seeking for to realise
Skyward shone
Like beacons
A question of origin
Ten thousand millions free
To the westward light
The dreamers represent
This arc of peace
As the poets entranced
The anchor redeemed
Secrets of science
The history of the future
Was surely made
Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realise
Our home
Is our world, our life
Home is our world
Nothing can take us far enough
Emotion... far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in
Nothing can bridge our souls
Devotion... fast enough together
As the power proves you right
Right enough to let you begin
Speak so fast to the prophets
Of the living
Looking for the signs
Spanning out the centuries
Search for truth
Ancient ones... they watch
And listen
Carry our wishes...
Took upon themselves to guide us
Through the endless skies
Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realise
Our home
Is our world, our life
Our hope is our world, our life
I have seen the passion
That's in the hope that everyone
Will find their way into
The secret of
The home of your heart
Living within the vision
Within the power, beyond belief
We see that hate destroys the soul
Of anyone who tries to teach it
I have seen the dream
That's in your heart
That's in your eyes
To bring you closer to the one
It. s what keeps us so alive
It's what makes us realise
Our home is our world, our life
Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realise
Our home
Is our world, our life
Home is our world, our life
Send, ascending to the secrets
All is pure and clear to resolve
Nothing can change us now
Send, ascending to the future
Nothing can ever change us now
We follow the sun
We follow the sun
We follow the sun
Truth is a simple place
Here for us all to see
Reach as it comes to you
As it comes to me
As I will always need you inside my heart
Peace is a word we teach
A place for us all to reach
Sing as it sings to you
As it sings to me
As I will always need you inside my heart

My dad (rest in peace) was always a huge fan of Yes. I remember this game coming out when I was bout 8 or 9 years old and my dad was excited that one of his favorite prog-rock bands had incorporated one of their songs into a Sci-Fi PC game. This song brings back floods of good memories. I miss you, dad - and those lasts lines from this song have always had a special place in my heard for you :
"Peace is a word we teach
A place for us all to reach
Sing as it sings to you
As it sings to me
As I will always need you inside my heart"
I love and miss you dad!
My father passed away in 2012 and I was a bit older than you when this game came out (13) and my dad loved playing Homeworld and watching me play... great memories! This was the first time I had heard a song from Yes and I fell in love.
Damn... That brought tears to my eyes. May your dad rest in peace, I'm sure he was an awesome man. Those last lines of this music is something very special indeed.
Bless your father.
That makes me sad and happy at the same time. I miss my dad so much
I loved this. When I finished the game and this started, it was.. I don't know how best to describe it, but it was perfect. Every time I hear the song, I remember how I felt that day.
TheRogueX I was completely blown away! I've been a fan of Yes since 1968...yeah, I'm old! I was so enthralled by the song, I put on my headphones, cranked it up and played it over and over again...then I went out and bought the CD...
best way to describe it: an incredible end to an incredible journey
Dude, I got my headphones on right now. Loved Yes since I was a little kid.
I understand perfectly. I am a fan of epic tales, from LOTR to Star Wars; from Gilgamesh to GOT. But nothing compared to the feeling of having reached Hiigara for the first time.
Indeed, and a good reward after fighting tooth and nail without cheat codes and burning through multiple levels of hell. You earned victory in Homeworld.
The Homeworld credits sequence is the only reason I know this song even exists.
This song is the only reason I know this game even exists.
@@lemonbreadsf3828 YES ftw
My godfather gave me this as a gift sometime around 2002 when i was 10. He passed away from a tumor last month at 59. Feels like he knew this was something new and special. And it is....Amazing game, great memories, thank you Paul!
It is truly a beautiful gift.
Damn shame he won't be alive for HW3 :'(
Absolutely the best closing credit sequence for any game ever. I first encountered this game as a GOTY edition and it came with a manual that had LOADS of lore and development art in it that really fleshed out the universe. It is far and away one of the most lovingly crafted games I have ever seen, and it gets THIS song as a sendoff! Just beautiful ^_^
its is really hard to explain how a space ship strategy game is also one of the most emotional and touching games ive ever played.
That book/manual was absolutely instrumental to make the game the most emotional I have ever played, all the lore and drawings made me feel part of the Higaran history and feel their destiny and pain. I have never ever felt that connection to any other game. Maybe I got spoiled by the best.
I have that one, too. It was a mind-blowing experience for an eleven-year-old.
This game was a true masterpiece, you cannot understand how good it was if you have not play it in 1999.
I did and it was awesome. I remember when Cataclysm dropped and it was awesome too.
St. Helens in our price in the UK. I bought mine
When the game was so good you watch the credits as an honor
This still makes me cry 20 years down the road. Every time. I'm so grateful to have played this in my teenage years. I bought the collectors edition of the remastered series to keep me reminded. Homeworld will always have a special place in my heart 💙🌌
Homeworld 3 is around the corner, apparently, sounds like it's got a good group of people developing it
@@MisterSiga As we all know, hope dies last...
@@wirrwarr8834 am so happy i didn't pre order this crap
@@MisterSiga I've been resisting this since Gothic 3 until I fell for it again with Diablo 3. Today I only buy fully patched GOTY editions and since I've been waiting for it for so long anyway, I'll wait another 2 years and then it'll be available for a tight budget. It also has the advantage that you save on the graphics card.
But don't tell everyone else that, otherwise it won't work for much longer. xD
This was the exact moment that made a young me know that video games are just as much an art form as any movies. And the greatest of them are truly amazing memories in the landscape of my emotional past.
Literally the best game credit ever.
You are here .
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
The homeworld story would make a truly epic tv series. And this song would have to be in there.
>epic tv series
Battlestar Galactica
But save it for the finale!
in 2001 i skipped the end credits.
Today I sat through it's entirety, enchanted.. I don't think I've ever seen an end credits so spot-on to leave me with a deeper appreciation of the heart and soul put into a game. And now apparently there's a band I have to check out.
You probably already found these songs by Yes (since this comment is three years ago) but try:
Roundabout
All good People
Owner of a Lonely Heart
Yes, indeed. I found a particular live performance recording to be far superior to any studio version for all the songs. I can't even listen to YES studio recordings now, they sound so dry in comparison.
@@David-bc4rh Can you tell what is it recording, what to search?
@@FLMSTR typically if you can hear the audience (cheering) in the background during the start and end of a song, it means it’s a live recording. Usually it will sound more “real” because there are no edits or refinements done to the voice that you would typically have from a studio recording.
It’s pretty simple just search up the song you want and then type ‘live’ at the end of it. Like for example;
‘Roundabout by Yes Live’
@@stavros9849 Oh, thank you. I guess I didn't put my question right. I wanted to ask for this particular recording. Forgive me my English:)
RIP Campbell Lane, Unbound 2014.
ow right in the feels
POW T_T
When i finished this game, i was young (10 years old), and as a french guy, i didn't understood the lyrics, except some few words, but i always loved this song, the dynamic tempo and the good feeling it bring. Many years later, when i came back to this song and understood the lyrics, i cried.
+Xaveric Jr I feel you there. This song gave me goosebumps. I was so young when I played Homeworld. Now I come back to it and all the humour in the credits, I can't thank the team enough for making such a great game for us all.
I'm still remember that early morning it was 2:23 am when I finished the game. Was summer and I played this gem on my 266MHz Pentium 3 with 128MB ram, 1,5GB HDD aaaand 1MB graphic accelerator. On the lowest resolution I had 2fps, in the battle I had 1frame per 1.5 to 2 seconds without knowing how to use support frigates(fast double leftclick or maybe my pc didn't recognized with that low FPS)... I was 13years old. And that empty feeling when I finished the game... It's done. What I have to do now? What's really matter? And I start the game from the first mission again :D
@Sternia Hoenheim splendor mod is better. Did you wanted capture Turanic Carrier from the 4th mission and build their ships? YOU CAN! Did you wanted capture Kadeshi needle ship and build their ships? YOU CAN!
This is the best way to end Homeworld. It adds just enough levity to the production to counterbalance the general tone of the game.
Forgot that even the end credits were spectacular! Favorite game of all time!! GOAT...
When I first saw it say "You are here, " I was mistaken to think it shows how insignificant we are in a vast galaxy. On the contrary, it shows us we not only are part of the vast galaxy, but that we will have a place to call, home.
I still remember this song as if I had just finished the game for the first time.
It's such a shame that it wasn't included in the remastered edition.
Please rise, for the Hiigaaran National Anthem.
always
Our Home.
Probably one of the most atmospheric, as well as, visually beautiful and technically brilliant games I have ever played. Carrying over your entire force (coupled with the ability to capture any large enemy vessel) and resources from one mission to the next, I hadn't seen in a game before Homeworld, the true 3D maps that allowed for multi-vector assaults and ambushes in a 360 degree spherical arena... It was mind blowing for somebody who had been previously used to the Westwood RTS games - C&C/Red Alert/Dune and their clones. This was something else, something new.
The pencil-art cinematics and with strong voiceover storytelling and great usic of music only added to the drama - Homeworld didn't need green screened full motion video sequences starring Michael Biehn or John Rhys Davies, it was already plentiful in the great story writing
I still remember the "Kharak is burning..." sequence.
The ending coupled with this song really brought a lump to my throat, something that rarely happened in my more cynical and nihilist teen years (I would have been about 15 going on 16 when I got this game).
It gave me a bit of cred among the music crowd when I went to school talking about how I had gotten into this band called "Yes" - I'd heard Owner of a Lonely Heart on the radio but hadn't really paid much attention to it, it was only later when listening through yes' older stuff that I realized it was the same band. obvious listening to it now, but back then I was totally oblivious.
*cough*
/Fanboying
Amen brother, this felt like a step change in RTS. The 3D controls were incredibly well implemented, for me it brought the "Lensman" space combat strategy to life. On top of that the emotional charge from start to finish was fantastic, "Kharak is burning" and the end credits both still give me the shivers.
Game was epic on all levels possible, like a dream come true.
Autumn of '99. Past 4am, me and my best mate listening to this after finally beating the last mission. Silly kids... God I miss those days :(
:-)
best ending to best game.
One of THE best games ever, LOVED the 3d map.
I had no idea this was coming... I beat Homeworld, and then heard the best song from one of my favorite bands, for the first time. No words can describe that feeling.
Fell in love with this song when I got Homeworld as a kid when it came out.
Ending still brings tears to my eyes. Never not.
I remember playing this game in highschool. It was so amazing that I kept playing until I finished the campaign even though it was my finals. Definitely of of the greatest games of all time.
This game was stunning, and this ending song was just the cherry on top. Bring on Homeworld 3!
Man, this game was a rollercoaster of emotions. The credits roll after the absurd final battle in orbit of Hiigara was one of the best payoffs in videogame history. Thanks for uploading this!
18 Years ago I was 10 Years old and finally managed to End the Game, though I hesitated destroying the emperors ship... And as the Credits started this came up... I always feel kinda proud, happy and sad (because this great game ended) at the same time whenever I hear this song even now. A great Game with a great ending
It was for those who wanted to dream, of distant worlds! About flying through the darkness of the universe to the stars, to meet the unknown, to meet new wonders. Unfortunately we have grown up and the world we live in has only become darker, and the dreams have faded, but not the hope.
The perfect song for a perfect ending. This song gave everyone that finished homeworld the perfect feeling.
This game was so satisfying to complete, I remember this very well. I even got this song from Napster. I remember the "you are here" really well, at the end
To my 15 year old self in the past. Well done on finishing this awesome game! Don't forget to ask your parents what a Yes is and how to listen to more of them, and most importantly what Yes is.
When I was 7 years old(2005), I saw the CD cover sold at the mart and bought it because I thought it would be so fun to play SF games, but due to language barriers, I only played games without clearing the campaign. And when I was over 11 years old and learned English and encountered the game again, I finally cleared it for the first time. It was so hard. Over 30 hours, even after the goal was over, we prepared for the next mission by collecting some resources. I started over 10 times in the last mission, but it was so touching when I saw my hometown. That's why I looked like the earth, overcame that difficult hardship, watched the ending credit, and remembered this song forever.
Actually, I didn't know the band Yes. However, after I cleared the remaster over 20 years old, I remember the meaning of the lyrics again as I understood the lyrics and their meaning.
After this credit, I don't turn over credit scenes such as games and movies. But I don't think there will be a credit like Homeworld forever.
It's so nice to listen to it after clearing it again. As a person who develops games, I will cheer up and live.
A very dear friend of mine got me this game about a year ago. He grew up with it as a kid, and we played it side by side with him watching. Experiencing this game and everything in it and sharing those moments with my friend, as well the journey of this game, was deeply fulfilling. And this song brings it all home in a way that words cannot convey. Bless this game, all who made it, and you for posting it years ago. Godspeed friend!
Still listening to this song from time to time after more than 20 years. Such an awesome game, and what a blast to discover this masterpiece in the credits.
When I played this game, lo many years ago now, and finally finished it, I was so satisfied with the ending. And then this song came on in the credits. I didn't know who it was, but it sounded familiar. I recognized the voice and the musical style. It sounded like Yes. I'm a big fan of Yes, but I thought, "No. These guys didn't hire YES to write and record the music for the credits." So I looked it up, and lo they did! I was pleasantly surprised, and it made me appreciate both the game and Yes even more.
Sounds like the best surprise ever. :-)
I love the sense of unity and purpose this song brings.
Thank you for not editing this fantastic song
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it's happened and follow the Sun.
I remember collapsing back in my chair after finishing the last mission of the game...and them this came on...haven't stopped playing it since...
Send!! Ascending to the secrets!! all is pure and clear to resolve!!
Nothing can change us now!
RIP Alan.
Took me until today (well, yesterday) to make the connection between this beautiful game and this fantastic song. Wowzah. How do you elevate a timeless masterpiece game? well...
also suggesting that the bass and vocal intro to the song , in particular, is world class
Rewatched after beating that inferior Remastered version, since I can't fix the resolution problem and Homeworld Must Be Fullscreen. Best end credits of all time, movie, show, or game. Brings a literal tear to my eye.
i got this game for christmas right after it came out. I was finishing up my last year in the Marines at the time . I remember being blown away by the gameplay and the story(side note this was very first RTS game I ever played as at that time I was a hard core FPS gamer IE Quake 2) and when i finally beat the game that first time after being on that roller coaster. I sat there and watched the end credits and when it faded to black I was literally staring at my screen mouth open silent. I was stunned that a video game had such an impact on me emotionally. the story telling, the visuals at that time, the voice acting, and the sound score was absolutely brilliant. To this day there have been very very few games to match this one.
Pretty sure I have only a few game end parts that brought me to tears. One is Nier: Automata, and the other is Homeworld. 💜💜💜
Homeworld is one of the best games I've ever played. I can't wait for the remastered version! :D
Just released today! And it was precisely what I hoped for- Epic and awesome!
Homeworld Remastered: No Yes
No. The game is released to public in BETA test mode. So full paying customers are doing the job that paid game testers should be doing BEFORE the games released.
Formations don't work. Tactics - Passive and Aggressive do NOTHING. There is no fuel for light crafts, so no docking required in game... (Just to mention a few problems)
Until these issues are sorted out please do not buy the game. They should be paying people to BETA Test it. Not selling it to the customers and making them do it...
Misanthrope What era do you live in? Or are you blind and ignorant that having people pay to beta test games is now the industry standard? We can all agree it is not right. However, this is the world we live in.
Misanthrope I just beat the game, and had a huge blast playing it. It does have a few draw backs and some ships are now essentially redundant, but the game is still fun. I had as much fun playing the first time i did years ago as I did just now. And that last mission had me stumped for 2 days before I decided to go back a level and reorganize my fleet.
Best comment ahahahaha
actually the song is still bared in the game's files (I fond it whit the music player built into the RM verson of FX galaxy mod)
You were able watch the credits (and listen to the tune) from the main menu at any time without finishing the game, so these are strictly speaking not "ending" credits. ;)
But yeah this is such a beautiful tune, and it got me into Yes the band for which I'm eternally grateful. While "The Ladder" album as a whole is not as strong as some of their 70s output such as The Yes Album or Fragile, the song is classic prog rock.
I assume most of the viewers no longer have it installed :)
The song could pass for late seventies, I love it, probably my favorite post 90125 yes song. The album as a whole is very ok, nine voices is a good song as well
Too bad they didn't put this song for the remaster :(.
eh theres atleast a mod for it
@@codybuckler6027 When a community is modding a friggin credit into a remaster you know it's a great community.
That's because of this little thing called _copyright_ messing things up.
that special thanks section was gold
"Yeah we'd like to thank the costco lady, the bar, canadian cannabis and uh-"
Best way to describe when first hearing this at the end of the game, is like start of the credits for a amazing movie that just ended. This song starts playing and brings everything full circle. Like 80's-90's movie ending credit song that hits everything right.
This is only one of a handful of games in my life that I've played more than three times because it is JUST THAT AMAZING. I'm a big fan of RTS games but this is the one that literally brought the game to a whole new level. The expansive battle map makees me feel as if I am truly in control of a space fleet.
Then I hear Yes for the first time in the end of the song and it made me cry because it is the culmination of a galaxy-trotting adventure. "You've done it. You've made it. You're home." It is truly magical and I'm still gonna play it again.
Fantastic! Homeworld was such a groundbreaking game and having this song in the credits was just amazing! I used to start the game just to play the credits to listen to this song. I was so happy to see Yes in concert for The Ladder tour and listen to this song live. Even after all these years, to me, this is the number one best song ever in a video game.
Such a satisfying ending to a great game.
Great YES....The Best Progresive Rock band ever
On my Homeworld re-run. Of course I'm here because remaster didn't have what must be at the end by default.
The ending credits in Homeworld Remastered were sooooo boring compared to the original. Very sad.
that's why im here :)
I think there's a mod to insert this end credits music back into the remaster version.
The best game I played! Everything about it is very engaging, the game play, the music, the story, the script, voice acting, the drama and finally reaching this part, what a way to end. So much memories.
"It's what keeps us so alive! It's what makes us realize, our Home is our World, Our life! Our Home is our world!"
if this did not make u cry form joy ur dead inside
One of the best games I've every played and hearing this music was like a well deserved treat at the end of your saga. This THIS was money well spent on not just a game but a truly great experience of creativity, imagination, and effort. Thank you programmers, artists, and yes even the b.s. legal office. You... all of you.... did a great job getting this to the public. I remember buying this at an electronics store (remember those?) and proudly walking home with my CD bouncing around in the crisp box. Thank you all for this!!!!
Homeworld Remastered is set for release December 2015.
Get Excited :D
Even better: It's being released on Steam- February 25th, 2015.
M Corder Even worse: This song isn't in it. Licensing issues!
nmarebfly NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Law Ton Agreed. One can only hope the devs made it easy to mod. The replacement track will surely be ok, but the original ending was SUCH a great moment. I was really looking forward to it. :-/
nmarebfly Amazingly shortsighted on Yes' part. I probably bought twice as many Yes albums due to the inclusion of this song (granting that I had some before).
We're going home boys.
Like 2 decades later. Still perfect 👌
Mother-freaking Homeworld man... So many feels
a true crime in my view is this game did not happen to be made into a movie thank you for this video
@stellvia hoenheim i agree but it's still an itch to scratch i feel it could be the next star wars until they ruin this in time by selling out too
This was one of my favorite games of all time! Cool now that I am friends with Trevor Rabin and his wife Sherry. I hope this game is revived and new games will be made. DO NOT CHANGE THE PLATFORM... JUST IMPROVE IT AND CREATE NEW STORIES TO PLAY.
A Game that rewards you with this song for finishing it. I can't think of another game with an ending so epic.. Maybe Arkham City, joker singing 'Only You' would be a distant 2nd, but hardly compares to this epic finale...
best ending!
Literally one of the songs that got me into prog rock.
A classic... was a gem to listen to at the end of the game.
Probably be my first pick if I had to have only one game . This is truly a classic game. For those of you that have never played it you should. Even the origa6nl CDs run well on win 10. Give this game a try and you will not be disappointed. If you like RTS this is the game for you. If you want a very cool stoner friendly game look up " The Ur-qua6n Masters " It's old school but a very cool game. Funny as fuck . Some of you know it better as Star Control II I came across this game in 1994 for the 3DO system I still run it on all three of my computers runs well on all of them. Best part it's totally free as is warzone 2100 a6nother great game from the past
Thanks for letting me rant =)
BBB
Love this victory tune :)
wait, "the fine folks at valve software" 4:15 helped in beta testing HW1 and (extra special thanks) 5:27 Peter Molyneux gave advice??
Yep, this was back when Valve was still a fairly small time player in the videogame industry. The original Half-Life had only been out for 10 months when homeworld was released.
The amount of incredibly talented people that had a hand in making this game is amazing
@@jeryn23 It is indeed amazing. But also, to be expected, given the quality of the final product. I can honestly say no game has ever impacted me more, with the exception of Neverwinter Nights, by Bioware, but that was a multiplayer experience designed to mimic tabletop DnD, and as such had a deep social element to it. In the realm of art I experienced by myself, this has impacted me more than any movie, for example. Simply amazing.
Dat part. 7:48 it kinda remminds me Led Zeppelin style. Just Awesome
Love the game Love the song. At the end of the game you got treated to a amazing song were your dopamine in your brain just melted away to this song
One of the most memorable and enchanting credits of any game I've finished.
I remember getting the game and never quite getting into the campaign. I played the hell out of skirmish mode.
I read a review somewhere where they mentioned the ending credits song, so I gave an earnest attempt to beat the game. I got to the last mission, and just could not beat it. I then played through the WHOLE game again to try to salvage as many of the ion cannon frigates guarding the jump gate as I could. I had not run into the unit cap until this attempt, but didn't realize why my salvage corvettes weren't dropping off any more ships...
I ended up putting the game down and didn't try picking it up again. It later occurred to me that there must have been a unit cap, but I was too busy to go back to the game, and I didn't have that save anymore, anyway. All I had to do was start scavenging the frigates until I had as many as I wanted. I wasn't planning to stop until I had cleared the whole level.
To conclude the long story, I never made it to the final level again, and never saw the ending. I still kind of regret that.
pure art! MASTERPIECE!
Hairs standing up on the back of my arms as I remember what a perfect conclusion this was to a perfect game.
A truly timeless piece.
Best ending credit song and sequence for a video game IMHO
Had this song been around back then, I like to think it would have been put on the Voyager Golden Record.
Absolutely love this song and game. One crazy thing, if you listen to the sounds at the beginning of the song, one of the higher sounds is verbatim one of the sounds used in the fourth level of the first Pikmin game which came out a few years after this game. there's no way that those are two separate sounds. They sound exactly the same. If you ever played that level, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Best video game theme song ever...
The only video game ending I bawled my eyes out to. No fancy trailer, no skit, just a very powerful, universal message. Still have the original installer CD (remember those?).
Hearing this makes me wanna play the game all over again
Such fond memories, epic game...epic song
2024
still TOP5 best games of my life
Special thanks: Vangelis
How come I've never noticed it before? Now I love this game even more, if it's at all possible.
sadly, not in Homeworld Remastered :-(
I remember that the preview video of the game used Barber's adagio as music. And this outro is also amazing !
i remember that moment when just fininshing the last jump at HW1
