Have you ever noticed this?

I might have noticed when I ripped the audio from my CD, but I didn't remember it afterwards. Does anyone know if the alternative tracks were actually used or not when running on a real FM-Towns? (I guess one set of track could have been for the Japanese version, or it could have chosen between the two sets at random. But I have no idea if it actually did any of this.)

Edit: When running the game in ScummVM, I noticed that looping music seemed to switch to a different version of the intro when the music started looping, at least. So maybe that's what the original did as well? It's been quite a long time since I played through this version of the game. Also, there are FM-Towns emulators, but the best one I could find was Windows-only, so I had to run it through Wine and I couldn't get the mouse to work properly (it only allowed me to move the pointer diagonally) so I gave up after the intro.

I did notice that the original seems to have had smooth scrolling, which ScummVM does not emulate.
