About This Game
The Aching's Soundtrack as recorded from emulated environments.
Detailed Description
This is the accompanying soundtrack to Hadrosaurus Software's brand new original parser driven adventure game for DOS: The Aching. This soundtrack contains all the musical theme tracks divided into disks by hardware device (Tandy 1000, Adlib, & MT-32). This game was originally designed around the hardware limitations of the Tandy 1000 line of home computers. In the 1980s, when Tandy was becoming a house hold name in the USA, sound hardware was generally limited, if not entirely non-existent, on home computers. Following on from the IBM PCJr, the Tandy employed the Texas Instruments SN76489 sound chip which could produce 3 independently pitched and attenuated square wave channels and a single attenuated noise channel.
We are proud to provide this brief soundtrack programmed for the Tandy's 3 Voice sound chip, the Adlib series of OPL2 based sound cards, and the Roland MT-32 MIDI Module. This soundtrack has been recorded on emulated hardware as sadly the original hardware has become relatively rare.
