Game
Dungeon Hack is a pseudo 3-D dungeon crawl that creates randomly generated mazes for you to explore. Using Advanced Dungeons & Dragon - 2nd Edition rules, the game will seem familiar to anyone who has played a D&D SSI game before. There are a wide assortment of monsters, items, spells, weapons, and armor, but sadly no real story to speak of. All of the work in the game was placed on the randomizer, which is high quality for its time, but because the game lacks a coherent plot, you will quickly get bored with killing yet another hobgoblin. But the mechanics of the game are nicely implemented, and it's a nice way to kill some time.
Music
The game supports the Roland MT-32, but sadly it only has three separate songs. One of which I've never heard, even after playing the game several times through. The music is fairly bland and repetitious. Nothing special here.
Ripping
The XMI files were ripped from the open.res file. There are two types of each song, one for Adlib cards and one for the Roland MT-32. I've only recorded the Roland MT-32 tracks because they have a better sound quality. The file names come from the descriptions near the end of the open.res file. For some reason the introduction music has an extra XMI file referred to as PC sound. I'm not sure what card, if any, can play this track but it's the same as the other intros, just with different instruments. Perhaps it was played through the PC speaker.
