Hi guys,

Unfortunately due to complicated legal issues we needed to remove the ogg music from the game. Instead we've added disk images into the build so that the DosBox version stays intact (as DosBox can mount CD images by itself). As for the Windows version, if you happen to have the game's CD you can just insert it and play the game with music.

I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but the world of legal agreements written 20 years ago can be ... a complicated one.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the game!

mk47at: But the CD Image with the music stays? Is it compressed losslessly?
Yes, this is a lossless format. The .cue files are also present.

JMich: Small clarification, so I can answer questions (or accusations) when I stumble onto them.
The music is still there, just as CD Audio, not ogg files, right? Or is the CD Audio music different from the ogg one?
The music is still there in the DosBox version because it "mounts" the disk images present in the build. Unfortunately we couldn't do the same for the Windows version ourselves.

CD Audio is lossless - that is the only difference.

mk47at: So there are three CD Images, right?

Magmarock: I'm hopping they'll bring it back when I ask for the rollback.
It won't be possible. In this case we were offered only two options - remove the tracks or remove the whole game. Rollback had to be disabled.
