I think these old midi soundtracks generally do a good job of matching medieval sounds with catchy melodies. I was quite partial, to the extent of having tried recreating it in music notation, to the medieval piece from the Lost Vikings 2 ost (called Dark Ages) which I think is also from around 1994. These pieces that you linked actually seem better than that LV one. I always wonder where these video game composers come from, they're typically totally unknown to me. Are they amateurs with an interest in midi music or just people who studied composition at a music school?

I think you didn't comment on the idiotic cover image of the porn model next to the three barbarians. Given that it's the first thing you might see when you get the game it's a pity they elected something that would immediately date the game to not just a period of different technical capabilities, but one of seemingly different values.
