One of the first games I played after I got a sound card for my PC. I sunk so many hours into this game. Music was great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Mlo

  Same here, one of my very first PC games even. It is worth pointing out though that the link you provided is for an additive version of the soundtrack across different audio devices; so it was not something that one would have heard back in the day. Played through it again recently on stream using a borrowed MiSTer, second hand Roland SC-55 I picked up on the cheap, official v1.07 patch [1], Mr Fibble's v1.07 fix [2], and the official sound fix to be able to select different devices for music and sound effects. All patches and fixes are available on PCGamingWiki [3]. Not a difficult game (although Mr Fibble's fix makes it harder as it corrects a major AI bug), but made me sweat a bit for the last few missions when I nearly lost my only construction yard to an early missile before I had a back up.

Returning to the amazing music. With the SC-55 I could enjoy the soundtrack in a different light [4] than the ad lib version I remembered from my childhood [5]. Now, if only the Roland MT-32 was not so darn expensive I would pick it up just to listen to Chani's Eyes from Dune (the other one) in its ultimate rendition [6]. Two very different games, but both with amazing soundtracks.

    > Chani's Eyes from Dune (the other one) Have you heard the professionally produced CD of the Dune soundtrack by its composer, Stéphane Picq? Dune: Spice Opera (1992) by Exxos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWn1C1POc6M&t=2492s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWn1C1POc6M&t=2492s ... and its 2024 remaster? https://stphanepicq.bandcamp.com/track/chanis-eyes-2024-remaster https://stphanepicq.bandcamp.com/track/chanis-eyes-2024-rema...
