But if you want to do it yourself, here's what I did (keep in mind, this was several years ago, so I might have forgotten something!)... On the Dreamweb CD-ROM (n the root directory), there are eighteen files called DREAMWEB.V** (starting at DREAMWEB.V01 and ending DREAMWEB.V99 but missing LOTS of 'numbers' in between). These are actually the non-speech sounds for the whole game; that is, music and sound effects! Now, each file typically contains several sound effects/music track, and because the music is actually mostly VERY short pieces looped, they're mixed in with the effects (eg. DREAMWEB.V05 contains a bell ringing, then a door effect, then a container opening, then a music track, then more effects like the laser pistol, Dreamweb teleport, computer beeps, etc. all one after the other). So, to rip the music, you'd have to open the file, then find the part you wanted (not as hard as it might sound, as there's usually about a dozen SFX/tracks per file, though a bit time consuming at first), and copy or crop them out to a new file and save it. As for how to OPEN these files, I used Goldwave 4.26 (limited shareware, but more than functional enough to rip the tracks out). I don't know if other programs can open them too, but I just dragged the DREAMWEB.V** file into Goldwave and opened it (when asked, because it can't be identified) as: Format: PCM Attributes: 8 bit, mono, unsigned (this seemed to work best, though other settings could be better) Rate: 22050 Hz And hey, presto... you've got a waveform that plays back at the right speed (the only problem being, it's a bit 'hissy', though you could use noise reduction tools in Goldwave and other progs to fix this). The files save as SND or RAW files (suggesting they are really just re-named files of this type in the first place!). Once you have the music in it's own files, then you can convert 'em to MP3s or whatever you want! Oh, and incidentally... if you want to rip/hear the speech files from the game, on the CD there's a directory called 'SPEECH', and in that are tons of *.RAW files; these contain all the dialogue from the game. Hope this helps some folks! Cheers, Banjo |

I have to say, this is one of my all time fave adventure games, so overlooked sadly, I'm glad to see you guys all love it too.
I have the English CD talkie version which I bought way back when the game was released, think I'll play through it again after seeing it on here  |

I have to add to what everyone else has said, I just replayed this game after never having forgotten playing it the first time, which must have been over 10 years ago.
The story could have been developed a bit more possibly, but walking in the dark also adds to the atmosphere of the game, and what atmosphere there is. This game is simply brilliant in parts, I have always considered it to be one of the best. Ryan sometimes have to go through a share few obstacles to reach his goals, but if he'sgot the opportunity he isn't afraid to take the easy way out, the gun is used a few times throughout the game  |

Awesome, AWESOME game. Found the CD-Rom version in a budget bin at Toys R Us years back.
Hella atmospheric, hella bloody. My favourite scene was breaking into the singer's apartment and killing the bodyguards. Chop! Bam!

Damn, i'm stuck. I just came from the dreamweb after killing the man in the tv show. Now I need to kill sartain. For this I need to read Edens diary which should be on her bed. But there is none. Is this a bug?
She is lying in the bath and says to me I should sleep a bit... |

I discovered something interesting on a website, this game had a seperate soundtrack released for it: PC gameScore It would be cool if someone could track it down. Also I have discovered the MOD tracks from Amiga version, I would like to upload them to here. I'll give them to Kostas.

St. Septimus is the Saint of 7 Deacon Martyrs, so it is the church of the 7 people that were a threat to the Dreamweb. 7 Sleepers of Ephesus referenced to in the diary.

AnimeGuy, I got stuck in the game trying to find the location of O'Rourke's hiding place. I had to use a walkthrough, which I hate doing, and it told me to insert the cartridge I found at Chapel's house and logon as BECKETT, with SEPTIMUS as the password. My question is, how in the heck were we ever supposed to figure that out?
