So I was checking out this old FPS/Point and Click game which is called Isle of the Dead and I know this game's not great, but still I felt something that really caught my attention. While I was watching a video of the game on YouTube, I noticed that the music in game is so much different than what I currently hear which is nothing but a few boring notes of music. This one's got Adlib unlike what we hear in Isle of the Dead! I was wondering how on Earth can I play this game using this type of music just like how it was shown in this video? Does anyone know what I should use for the better music?

This is the video that I've been thinking over:

Run install.exe and select opl3 for music. And make sure your Dosbox sound device is correctly configured.

But how do I install Isle of the Dead? I mean the game is really old and right now, there are only a few Roms of this game but I don't see an Install application in the game's folder.

I just realized you probably have an older version of the game. The CD version has better music like you hear in that video.

I wonder if the CD Version of that game is somewhere that's downloadable in any website that contains the better music? I don't know if that original floppy disk version had that normal lame music but still.

I'm sure it is, but you should read the rules of this forum.
