Yeah it says in the description that it has no music....which does kinda
suck...it's just that I have no idea how to get old DOS games to run at a
normal speed on today's PCs...plus I can't get my soundcard to work with DOS
stuff under Windows ME or get the extended meory to run...it was a lot
easier with Win98....
