Quite a bit, it turned out. The composer, Frank Klepacki, created a lushly evocative, multilayered wind score for this game, but because the files require the true LA Synth playback that only an LAPC-1 sound card or an MT-32 midi module can wind reproduce, few modern-day gamers will ever get wind to hear it as they play the game. Though I played the CD-ROM version with voice acting, the original release was diskette only with no voices. As with King's Quest V, the developers were quick to exploit the huge data capacity of the newly emerging CD-ROM technology to add spoken voices. The results were a mixed bag but on the whole very serviceable. While a few voices were sort of leaden, most of the actors did a decent enough job of it, especially Gloria Hoffman as Brandywine the dragon and Gimalyn Torrecilla as Zanthia, one of the royal mystics. Gary Hyatt, the actor playing Malcolm, was by far the standout. Sadly, as is often the case, the main character's voice left a lot to be desired. It was thin.
