This template is really not very well suited to classic DOS games.

For DOS games, I would like to see

- A list of sound cards for audio. So similar to "DOS video modes", perhaps something like "DOS audio options". - A list of Music (BGM) options (e.g. MIDI) if separately offered from the above. - If the game supports CD Audio

Early DOS games only had one audio option, be it PC Speaker, Tandy/PCJr, Adlib and such. Later generation games often had audio and music split, such that you could set the audio to your Sound Blaster, and your Music to your MT-32 or GM.

And obviously some games don't cleanly go into either category, for instance some Sierra games had a sound card menu where one of the options literally says something along the lines of "SB + MT-32".

Likewise some re-releases of games had the Music option removed and replaced with CD-Audio. For instance Monkey Island originally had MT-32 support, but the re-released CD version replaced that replaced with CD-Audio.
