Im looking for Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders for Dos with the enhanced graphics or if theres any difference the CD version and its available on GOG and im hoping if I buy it I would be able to extract the cd version side of the game to play on a real Dos PC, or is it using SCUMM? I dont want to play it on a Win 10 PC from GOG only because my 30 inch screen is horrible to play Dos games on and ide like to use my MT32 😉

its scummvm. There is no dos "cd" version. The GOG version is the FM-Towns version with 256 colour graphics, using scummvm.

I believe the GOG version contains both the FM-Towns and the EGA version, selectable on launch.
But yeah, both use SCUMMVM so no dos executable

Since it uses ScummVM, you can probably get it running on a different PC using a live Linux distribution or possibly HX DOS Extender. (I don't think anyone has made a DOS port of ScummVM?)

This version of the game uses redbook CD audio, so your MT32 will not make the slightest bit of difference.
