Another good example of Apple II sound is in Omnitrend's Universe. If
you let it scroll completely through the intro, to the point where it
displays "NOW the need for a hero has never been greater" after just a
few seconds it breaks into a musical score before switching to the
game credits screen and then the beginning of the game. I had never
noticed this until tonight. And I only discovered it now because I
walked away from the computer to take care of something else for a
minute while it was booting up the game.
