Bi-Fi Roll - Snack Zone (DOS)

Bi-Fi Roll - Snack Zone is an arcade adventure. Freeware from the beginning, it was commissioned by Unilever, produced by phenomedia (then named The Art Department), and designed by Oliver Stiller.
The production secret of Bi-Fi Roll has gone missing, and "Lukas, our hero" is tasked with retrieving it. Using the cursor keys, you search the city, avoid vehicles, offer help to passers-by, and play four different arcade sequences.
Lukas would take a student job in a much more popular point-and-click adventure, Bi-Fi Roll - Action in Hollywood (DOS).

Music
For the slightly earlier Amiga version, Rudolf Stember arranged seven looping songs and 26 sound effects using TFMX-Editor.
Most of the conversions stay true to the originals, but are used in different game locations. Tracks 5 and 7 do sound very different, and the scrolling levels have no audio at all.
Aktueller Software Markt rated sound 9 out of 12 and wrote that it "turned out astonishingly well for a free game."
Recording
All songs were recorded twice, plus 10 seconds, from the game on a Pentium 60 MHz with a Sound Blaster 16 CT1740.
The titles are unofficial and based on the respective song's first appearance in the game. The remaining appearances seem unrelated to each other.

The driver checks for an OPL2 at 388hex and includes unused Sound Blaster code. The installer starts with an audio setup, but it makes no difference.
