   Has anyone noticed a change in the music between registered 
descent and the shareware version?  I only received the 
registered version yesterday, but it seems to me that while the 
rest of the game has taken a step up from the shareware version, 
the music has taken a step down. Rather than the awesome kick me 
in butt music that we all saw in the shareware version, the music 
now has more of an artificial "arcade" sound to it.

   I've tried it out on a SoundBlaster 16 and ProAudio 16 and 
it's the same cheesy music.  Of course, I've only replayed up to 
level 9, so I've yet to see what happens after that.  Are the 
changes some optimizations that took place to speed up the 
gameplay, or am I just missing something?


==================================
   Of course, this is just a tiny tiny little comment about a 
totally awesome game.  As you can see I went ahead and spent the 
$54 to get Descent FedExed.  Just do it: get the registered 
version!
