Music

Like most of the AD&D games released on the computers, there is only one song and it plays at the title. Unlike some of the AD&D computer games though, the song can't be played back on MIDI, only PC Speaker, Tandy, and AdLib. While the DOS version does not credit Linwood Taylor as the composer, he is listed as an encounter author and the manual credits him as the composer.

(Info)


The music still needs to be ripped from the MUSIC.DAX file. The VGZ files were logged in ValleyBell's version of DOSBox 0.74 and trimmed to play properly.
