Changes applied on 2021-07-04:

Updated theme music (to version 3) Compressed voice track All music is now in stereo! This was a major oversight before. Balanced music volume a bit better Re-recorded the first 25 minutes or so, to sound less asleep and remove most of Bishop's interruptions Added a drop-in edit about how to enter initials using the rotary controller Re-recorded the part about Space Giraffe Removed mention of first getting the soundtrack with the JaguarCD, which was wrong Removed "Excellent" at the very end, which didn't fit
