Planet X3 is a real-time strategy game for MS-DOS computers. This game is proposed by The 8-Bit Guy. Actually the music is also worth listening to. So let me analyze the music composition of the PC-Speaker version. It is no exaggeration to say that no game has used PC-Speaker to make decent music so seriously before this (perhaps The Secret of Monkey Island is worth mentioning). Especially "Fight for the Future" and "Into Battle", which will change your impression of PC-Speaker. This set makes heavy use of time-multiplexing and rapid arpeggios, making it sound like we're hearing multiple parts rather than a single track. It is worth mentioning that although PC-Speaker cannot modulate the volume envelope, it can use vibrato, which makes sustained single notes sound more comfortable (listen to the song "Apprehension"). At present, there are 3 versions of Planet X3 that can use VGM record: OPL2, SN76489, PC-Speaker. But there is actually a Covox version, because you can use Covox to emulate the SN76489, and the sound sounds very different from the SN76489 version, like the SN76489 with a reduced frequency. Actually Covox can also emulate OPL2, but these two formats can only be recorded in waveform, which doesn't seem to make much sense. This pack was made using DOSBOX 0.74 VGM Mod.
