Excellent musical score. Narration by Madeline Kahn. Full credits is approximately seventy names, which I do not feel like typing.

@butterburger: I agree there is value in having a form that is easy to use in emulation etc, but I think it is also important to have the CD imaged in a form that effectively an exact copy of the original for archival purposes. It would be good if you could provide a bin-cue as well...then we have the best of both circumstances.

I could have done that, I did consider it, and I decided against it. CD-ROM data track contains all audio resources used by programs; programs, Macintosh and Windows both, do not use CD audio tracks. I chose to share this software in a form which is most easy, convenient, and simple, to use and perpetuate: a flat (single-fork) file image of the cooked Mode 1 data track. A cooked image is convenient for: virtualisation, emulation, writing to media (such as PC Card, USB Stick, or CD-RW). (This is more accurately a volume image or track image, than a 'disc image'.)

Audio track 2 is instrumental, to play while reading Mike Mulligan book aloud. Audio track 3 is a reading by Madeline Kahn with music. I extracted both tracks with cdparanoia.

mrdav, if you want to expound your thoughts or feelings, then I will gladly read and consider.

anabate123, thank you for your comment. I was shocked, at day after I uploaded this, to see one star rating. I rate it four stars, though as uploader, I do not have NPOV.

I opine: this soundtrack / musical score is excellent. Cracking good, easy listening; I can listen to it while preparing food. I think, by listening while reading Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, one can immerse in story.

I used to play this game ever since I was a kid! Thanks!

There seem to be two music tracks as separate files. Can we please have a bin-cue image of the original CD that can be used to burn an exact copy that contains both game and audio tracks?
