In playing through Monkey Island 2 (Mac version from my own floppies, playing on a MacBook Pro) this past week, I realized that the music and sound effects were a little different than my glory days on on an LC II. Specifically, I remember sound effects which aren't in the game when I play it in ScummVM, like:
-A "Kersplat" sound when picking the difficulty level at the very beginning
-A splat sound when Largo spits at the wall in the saloon at the beginning of the game
-The metronome making a clear ticking sound when it's turned on in the saloon.
-A "kicked bucket" sound played as part of the music when you're in the saloon at the high point in the music (sorry it's so vague on that, but short of humming it for you, it's hard to describe).
-More of a bass beat in the Voodoo Swamp with a more audible percussion underbeat.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? Am I going nuts, or do I remember my middle school days pretty accurately?
Thanks,
Rafi
P.S. I should note that I've pretty much gone through all of the MIDI and Music options available (and hey, CoreAudio sounds FANTASTIC, and I'll be using that from now on), but nothing replicates what I'm pretty sure I remember—especially with those sound effects.
I don't know if the devs could benefit from hearing it to compare, but if anyone would like a copy of the MI2 Mac soundtrack for testing please let me know.
