Notes:
I think the music is somewhere between okay and
decent.

There are songs like the Title Screen and
Stage 1 that I like. On the other side, the
songs for Stage 4 and its boss aren't that
good.

The game is a run 'n' gun platformer. The
controls are pretty meh though. Attacking
cancels your jump and "falling" means
"dropping like a stone".


The pack was ripped using DOSBox 0.74, ingame
by swapping pointers in MUSIC.DAT so that the
songs played on the title screen.

The songs loop as they do ingame, except that
I removed a 30 ms delay that the sound driver
needs to restart the song.

By the way: 
Finding the loops was easy once I noticed that
the sound engine writes "TL = 0x3F" commands to
every channel before it restarts the song.


I'm don't know if the "Ending Theme" is really
what it seems to be or what music is played
during the credits. The game simple exited to
the DOS prompt after beating the Stage 5 boss.
You can swap OPEN_V.ANI and ENDING.ANI in
order to watch the credits, but that still
plays the opening music.
