Composer Dan Froelich
Released 1992-??-??
Title Origin File Name

Adventure Math Menu is a background song from Epic Games' two Adventure Math games.

Title

The filename is AMMENU.am1 and, apart from am1, may have come directly from Froelich.

Composition

Froelich arranged using a mouse in Visual Composer (probably version 1.5 or later), and somebody optimized his files using ROL2MIDI (an early version).

The composition is in C major.

The OPL melody mode instruments in order of appearance are:

  1. OBOE1: bass with lower partial, melody at 0:45, all with choruses
  2. LOGDRUM1
  3. ?: bass
  4. either SYNBAL1 or TRIANGLE
  5. FLUTE2: melody

If you left the setup with Adlib card on, this song starts every time the main menu appears.

Unlike its PC Speaker equivalent, the main menu restarts the Adlib song if it has finished. It stops after you select Addition, Subtraction, Intro, Catalog, or exit. It continues if you select Help! or Ordering Information, but will no longer be restarted until you return to the main menu.

For recording, the game was played on a real Pentium 60 MHz with a Sound Blaster 16 CT1740.
