Let's Play Police Quest 3 - part 1 - Back to traffic duty

Welcome back to Lytton! We're in for a hell of a day but things start slowly with traffic duty once again.

The game music in this Let's Play was recorded using a genuine Roland MT-32 (not an emulator).

Do you use a first gen MT-32? It's the one without the headphones jack on the back. I heard they have a lot of dramas with some DOS games.

I personally use an MT-100 (which is a second gen MT-32 with a sequencer built in)

@wocko1 I use a first-gen MT-32. Some of the older Sierra games abuse bugs in the first-gen MT-32 to create special sounds, which won't work right on newer ones. The only game that's given me any trouble is Day of the Tentacle where the music very occasionally hangs.

Sorry for the back to back comment but I managed to find an Emulator for the MT 32. It makes the music way better but it's not perfect yours sounds better still,

[Dilandau3000]

@ryan489 That's because I'm using a real, hardware MT-32. :) If you get lucky you can find one on some place like eBay for not too much (that's how I got mine). The MT-32 emulator (I'm assuming you're talking about Munt) is okay, but not very good compared to the real thing.

The stabs remind me of the Gabriel Knight theme - the version in Sins of the Father.

The music sounds amazing. Too bad they wrote it for the MT-32.

Sonny actually starts out with his wallet in his pocket, not a glove box or desk drawer, blasphemy!
