Hey Chris,
consider doing the 3 voice music and maybe advanced sound effects via the
Speech Pak. Normal SFX and less/no music without it. This would probably
require a high-speed modified SSC, but that's a *very easy* fix.

The SSC allows you to remove some load from the CPU and probably save space in
terms of stored music data, plus I think it would enhance your game in
*novelty* terms too. SSC games are rare/lame.

Your demo ROCKS by the way! I'm blown away already! Great work!

Bob
