Essential improvements

Three-channel audio support

Certain "with Tandy Sound" installs of the game support three-channel audio, which requires the hardware built into the IBM PCjr or Tandy 1000 computer. Other systems are limited to one-channel audio played through the PC speaker.


Use DOSBox

Notes

If DOSBox is configured to emulate a PCjr or Tandy computer, the game detects and uses the emulated PCjr/Tandy sound hardware for three-channel audio. This will simultaneously also force the game to run in 16-color PCjr/Tandy graphics mode.
  1. Set in the [dosbox] section: 'machine=tandy'; and in the [speaker] section: 'tandy=on' to enable three-channel audio on a Tandy-enabled install.
