* Faster framerate. The original games run at 10fps (or less) while our implementation aims to have around 60fps or more. In theory, this should not affect the gameplay but this is still an area of research. | * Faster framerate.

* Support for high-quality pre-recorded sounds: the DOS releases uses PC speaker sounds, which will not sound exactly the same if they are emulated, so we included pre-recorded version from real hardware. The same will be available for other releases which do not feature sample sounds (C64, ZX Spectrum and AmstradCPC). | * Support for high-quality pre-recorded sounds: the DOS releases uses PC speaker sounds, which will not sound exactly the same if they are emulated, so we included pre-recorded version from real hardware.

* Restored music from different releases: most of [http://vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php/Freescape_games the Freescape game releases do not feature any music at all] (e.g. the DOS releases). Our implementation will allow, if the user owns more than one release, to replay the music from one release using other one. It will also allow to include restored music in the future. | * Restored music from different releases: most of [http://vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php/Freescape_games the Freescape game releases do not feature any music at all] (e.g. the DOS releases).
