I just looked at it and it appears that the music
track is embedded in the program. Will be difficult
to play it apart from the rest of the effects.

I could be wrong, since I am not familiar with all
of the music filetypes. Someone else might be able
to discover a way to do this.  Michael???

I don't consider this an area of expertise...  ;-)
There are lots of people with more IIgs experience
than I have!

Is the music stored in the resource fork of the program?

Many game creators considered the music--and its format--
to be proprietary, so it might not be straightforward.

An avenue I'd explore is getting the game to play without
the sound effects--perhaps by deleting them from the
resource fork...?

If the sound effects occur at times unsynchronized with
the music, then a little cut-and-paste in a wave editor
starting with multiple recordings should do the job.
(Hey, you didn't expect it to be easy, did you?  ;-)
