Five different types of output were designed for the DOS release, each output corresponds to a different group of devices, the Roland, Yamaha, OPL2, 3 Voice, and PC Speaker.

The targeted MT-32 output features a lively woodwind melody with strong reverb with a string accompaniment. The OPL2 loses all the reverb and leaves the song sounding flat. The 3 Voice, though it sounds more chippy, actually emulates the reverb better than the OPL2 version. And the PC Speaker, as usual, is lower in pitch, lacks the harmony, and sounds awfully flat.

The file is sound.062 in the resource files, and loops.

The Atari ST port included at least two types of output, one for Roland devices and one for the system's built-in YM2149 audio chip. Since the Roland output is the same as the DOS release, it will not be recorded.

Other Ports

The Apple II port does contain music, but this song was excluded to conserve space.
