      @Zeppo The tandy 3 voice is a soundchip that is a clone of the same soundchip found in the the sega master system. Unfortunately the people who ported the game to the ibm pc were too lazy to make a tandy 3 voice version of the music. But the music in the ibm pc speaker version of the game is impressive because it uses arpeggios (Fake polyphony)

        At some point not long ago I was discussing the great sound on the Amiga and Sega Genesis vs. even 1990 era PCs and someone pointed out there was an option to get AdLib and later sound cards. I never actually heard one, though… would have been nice if more manufacturers included one back then.
