Oddities
The file KAL.SND in the INTRO.DAT archive seems to be faulty. In general the SND files mostly contain just a sound wave form as you would find in the SSND chunk of an AIFF Format file. However, here the data seems to contain almost (but not quite) an entire AIFF file. It looks as though the developers would create sounds as AIFF files, and then extract the wave data to pack into the SND files, and here they have mistakenly taken more than they should have into that file. If this is indeed a mistake then the result would be a very short burst of noise at the beginning of the sample (coming from the AIFF header mistakenly included) and a slight truncation of the intended sample, with the bulk of the sample sounding correct.
