The version I had had better graphics, animations, and music. I learned that this is the DOS version of the game. I had the later whidows version. too bad you can't find that version for download anywhere.

Nobody seems to have the one with the funny travel lady and extra music. I found a video of it on youtube recently uploaded last September.

One PC game series like that is Battle for Middle Earth 1 and 2 which more people have 1 then 2 and one follows the movie more closely while 2 follows the book lore showing non canon events such as the Goblins.
Most people including me didn't get 2 till way late when PC's could run it which now the game is 200$ so most people torrent it and Game Rangers the official unofficial server for online use has it available as an ISO (clean edition) with no conflicts. For a long time it was a ban offense to even speak of ISO's but now they have a well updated version with a new fan patch 1.09 just released!

I think the reason why most people don't know about the one with actual music is because it was a short release as a lot of people either had computers too crappy to run it or moved on to the late 90s edition.
The one with the characters walking around the screen and the satellite links for quizzes.

You must go into the Setup and mess with the different audio versions to get it working right.( Keep in mind more than one may work so figure out the best one) worse case it wont work and you must try another.

It's been twenty-plus years since I originally played this as a child (so my memory may be fuzzy), but I remember owning two versions (both graphically identical, more or less): this version, and then a later CD-ROM edition that would play "folk" music as you traveled around the country.
The way I remember it, the music was based on the region/state you were in (i.e. bluegrass for the southern states, Dixieland for Louisiana, Nevada played a song called "Reno" by Jonathan Richman (which I just found from a Google search).
I'd also say it's probable that this later CD-ROM edition had more crimes to solve, on account of the larger storage capacity.
Anyway, this version is basically just as good. My wife and I have been having a ton of fun with it, thanks so much!
