Mine, only had PC Speakers sound, but I have heard that there is a FMTOWNS version with better graphics. The ScummVM version has normal sounds (non speakers).

Is there a GOG version, and which one should I play?

Mainly three:

1. PC low-res, same graphics as C64, PC speaker only
2. PC high-res, same graphics as Amiga, PC speaker and Tandy sound
3. FM-Towns, 256-color graphics and CD-DA

The FM-Towns version is by far the best.

Thanks! I wish I could find the PC version with the Tandy sound!
