    It’s an emulator for playing the entire back catalogue of Lucasarts games. It’s very well documented and ready to use. As I said, if you had some kind of general midi set up or Roland MT32 back in the day, you’d be laughing. The music is awesome.

    The program is called Dreamm.

    DREAMM is a backronym for:

    DOS
    Retro-
    Emulation
    Arena for
    Maniac
    Mansion (and other LucasArts Games).

        I only discovered it myself in the last month or so.

        For example, I loved X-Wing CD edition back in the day for the real Star Wars soundtrack but I need to try it with MT32 midi emulation. I bet the iMuse system sounds fantastic.
