about

Official soundtrack, produced in partnership with the original composers.

*****PC-9801 (OPN) VERSION*****
The PC-9801 (OPN) is a daughter version of the original Roland MT-32 version of the soundtrack. The original themes were arranged and programmed by the Japanese musician Takeshi Abo for the OPN soundcard for the PC-9801 version of the game.

This soundtrack has been recorded using a real PC-9821 equipped with a PC-9801-86 (OPNA/OPN) soundcard.


*****PC-9821 (OPNA) VERSION (UNRELEASED)*****
The PC-9821 (OPNA) is a daughter version of the original Roland MT-32 version of the soundtrack. The original themes were arranged and programmed by the Japanese musician Takeshi Abo for the OPNA soundcard in preparation to be converted to the FM-TOWNS OPN2 version (since Takeshi Abo used a PC-98 rather than an FM-TOWNS for composing music). Therefore, the OPNA version was never released.

This soundtrack has been recorded using a real PC-9821 equipped with a PC-9801-86 (OPNA/OPN) soundcard.

*****PC-98 (CD-DA) VERSION*****
The PC-98 (CD-DA) version is a digital recording of the Roland MT-32 version of the music after it was converted into the game's .M format by Todd Hendrix. Therefore, due to a programming error, the music is played back at a pitch unintended by the original composers. This recording was included on the CD-ROM version of the PC-98 port of the game for bonus material.

Bonus material:
(#1) Commentary by Takeshi Abo (original Japanese + English translation).
(#2) Detailed archival tracklist.

The archival soundtrack series contains all known music from said title, including 1 second jingles, unused music, beta versions, and more.

Soundtrack and any bonus materials may not be re-distributed elsewhere without the express permission of Xeen Music.
