Apparently Sierra's Space Quest 5 will reprogram your MT-32 (or CM-64) module to have a GM instrument map. While not true for other games using MT-32, Space Quest 5 might be among the only ones, that using a GM module might give you a better sound quality.
Also for some quite interesting reason, Octavia handles MT-32/CM-64 reprogramming SysEx instructions from LucasArt games just fine, but for Sierra games Octavia fails spectacularly with SQ5 as the single exception.

Quest for Glory: So You Want to be a Hero (1989) is one of my favorite Sierra adventure games. Not only the very first game has its charm, but it's also funny to read the German names.

A re- #introduction toot: I'm yet another c. 2022 fosstodonian who found a new home in the fediverse. I'm a photographer & a retired fine art framer based in Reno, Nevada, (USA) & I'm in the process of moving to the Four Corners region. I've been running Linux since the late '90s. All photos are mine & edited using Darktable. I follow science, history, & photography toots. Here's a photo I made of Bonsai Rock, Lake Tahoe, Nevada (2017).

Oh, I forgot to tell!

Thanks to my friend I had the pleasure and fun to play Gabriel Knight with, I became a Schattenjäger! 🥳🙌

Not only is it a masterpiece, but I also learned a lot about "Nawlins" thanks to my friend! 😎

The narrator reminds me of my Puerto Rican great-aunt! 😊

king's quest 2 has the most al lowe ending of any sierra adventure game

it's honestly kind of sad how self-serious the company's games became by the 90s. i loved their mid-80s era.
