Go rent or try the SNES version at a friend's...it's the same sequence data,
but the instrumentation is vastly better on the SNES.  The problem is, Bill
swapped the sound f/x, but used way-huge DOCRAM buffers to do so, leaving
about 3k for instruments.  Anyone who's ever used SoundSmith will tell you
this isn't even close to enough.
