Game
Zeppelin: Giants of the Sky is certainly one of the slowest business simulators around, but it's also one of the most historically accurate. You play the owner of a Zeppelin company at the turn of the century; the 20th century that is. You begin your first day on January 1st, 1900 with only one zeppelin in your fleet. You must make strategic decisions in order to develop new airships to amass a fleet, setup offices in various cities, and maintain a thriving business. As time progresses in the world all the major events of the past will surface and they will affect the price of fuel, gas, and ticket sales. As an added touch, the entire game is displayed in sepia in order to give it that "Old World" feel. If you're looking for a simple, fast-paced sim you will not appreciate this game. However, if you want an unforgiving micromanagement replica, you may find solace in Zeppelin: Giants of the Sky.
Music
Zeppelin has really nice music for an AdLib soundtrack. that seems perfectly fitting for the game. The FM synthesis sounds less chippy, and more vintage. The game takes advantage of the Loudness Sound System, which offers nice music capabilities.
Ripping
The music is located in the ./Sound folder. The music files have a .dat extension, but if you rename them to .lds they'll play in AdPlug without any other modification. Since the game was originally programmed in German, several of the game's file names are also in German. The original file names are written alongside each file, but the rip available here for download uses translations or new names to more accurately match where the music is played in the game.
