This incessant recycling carries over to the music, which often plays in winter tight, repeating loops, loops that sometimes don't change for several screens. The tone seemed off as well, sounding awfully light and happy for what is essentially a dark, cautionary winter tale. In researching this review, I came upon a website that contained .mp3 files of the original MT-32 midi tunes, and I finally got to hear what I was missing. Quite a bit, it turned out. The composer, Frank Klepacki, created a lushly evocative, multilayered winter 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 reproduce, few modern-day gamers will ever get 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.
