Essential improvements

Three-channel audio support

Certain "with Tandy Sound" installs of the game support three-channel audio, which requires the hardware built into the IBM PCjr or Tandy 1000 computer. Other systems are limited to one-channel audio played through the PC speaker.
Use DOSBox

Notes

if DOSBox is configured to emulate a PCjr or Tandy computer, the game detects and uses the emulated PCjr/Tandy sound hardware for three-channel audio. This will simultaneously also force the game to run in 16 colour PCjr/Tandy graphics mode.
