	I didn't quite mean the muscial composition was poor, just the 
_instruments_ used in comparison to the SuperNintendo version. The IIgs
one sounds distinctly like "computer music", while playing the SNES cart 
sounds more like your listening to live recorded music from a movie.
Have a look at "Out of This World" on a SuperNintendo when you get the chance,
you'll notice it uses real sounding flutes, pianos, soft-strings, drums, and
trumpets. I especially like orchastral bass-drums with chorus voices at the
very beginning when it shows the gold InterPlay logo and then the title! :)
Though for some reason, the scrolling Star-Wars style text at the beginning,
and the end-sequence (you and alien flying off on dragon and scrolling
credit text) sounds much better than the SuperNintendo music... weird.
Hmmm, still have the SNES intro music on tape -- that'd make a nice startup
rSound for GS/OS! :)

Is he still working at InterPlay? (Just wondering about that rumour a
while back..).
