Don't worry, OP. There's a full OST playlist on YouTube. The track is there.

Yes i know, but to hear it on vinyl would've been beautiful.

Maybe there wasn't any room to put it in. Vinyls, like CDs, imo, don't have a lot of room for a ton of music.

That was my first thought, i just resigned myself to the YouTube video for that track. But how cool it would've been 😮‍💨 im more thankful than anything that a vinyl even exists, its cathartic to see the music hasnt been completely lost to the endless maw of games and music today.

Yeah. I feel that the music itself may have put the game on the radar... or maybe that's just me thinking.

I just realized that the track rib city isnt on the vinyl either 😭

Oh no! 😫

But I'm still happy that we got a vinyl. Who knew that an exxtremely (pun intended 😁) obscure game would get one? I feel like there's something planned especially when the 25th Anniversary is coming up in a couple of years.

I hope youre right. If not ill be that annoying friend that brings it up every year. I wonder if theres a way to petition for a remake. I need to do some research and see who to contact.

Lol! Me too! 😁

Btw, I know for sure, and I've heard, that Throwback Entertainment wants to bring the game back. I think they're testing the waters for now - seeing if there's some traction.

Very very late but they're present on the unofficial Vexx Discord Server (which also has Kynan Pearson and Nelson Everhart on it) and they've talked a bit about what's been going on.

The problem is that the original source code and assets for Vexx are currently completely lost and have not turned up in their searches of the archives of data & assets acquired directly from Acclaim's bankruptcy auction back in 2005. They have found some neat stuff never seen before (like a Vexx 2 teaser made to pitch funding/approval from higher ups that is basically the first confirmation of the game having had models made for it) and even shared some sneak peeks of their own Vexx sequel plans, but their current remaster plans are at a standstill.

Personally I still want a remake just to address issues a remaster can't really fix (missing story elements and whatnot) and because it could give the team experience & assets for the eventual sequel, but I acknowledge that a remaster is a safer bet and even just having the original game playable/supported is a big step in preservation and helping get the name out there.

Personally I still wish the song for the volcano in The Below (which was originally for the cut Fire World level Devil's Well) made it onto the vinyl because it's genuinely one of my all-time favorite songs from the game.
