Space Chase Game II

Platform: DOS Year: 1993 Developer: Safari Software Productions

Music

Part 2 reprises three tracks from part 1, and yet has the most diverse soundtrack out of all parts. While being continuously jazz, it includes Caribbean instruments, rock influences, and a nod to Theme from Mission: Impossible.

Recording

The music was recorded on a real Pentium 60 MHz with a Sound Blaster 16 CT1740. Each song was played twice, 10 seconds longer, and faded out.

Upon launch, the game series searches for an OPL-compatible at ports 228_hex, 238_hex, 248_hex, 258_hex, 268_hex, 278_hex, 288_hex, and 298_hex, but not 388_hex.

The manual mentions four compatible cards, but the games use only their on-board OPL2 chip. Typing /PAS does nothing.
