I went deep down a nostalgia rabbithole to scour the internet for a lost Apple Macintosh Shmup from my childhood.
What's more, I actually managed to find a working, "registered" copy of the Windows port after over a decade of searching.
Deimos Rising is utter abandonware, made by Ambrosia Software as a sequel to their hit Mars Rising.
Ambrosia's form of DRM (a sort of generated license that was time-sensitive) means it couldn't be brought to any modern storefronts. Due to this, and due to Ambrosia disappearing and their website and storefront no longer existing, you cannot obtain a legal copy anymore.
Hell, the registration executable doesn't even work on a modern system, even if you do download the Trial and managed to get your hands on an original owner's License (I did, and wasn't willing to go to the hassle of setting up a Mac OS 8.6 or Win98 virtual machine just for this).
I pulled this directly from the game's paks, and then exported it in as consistent of a 320k file as I could.
This is as close to uncompressed as I could get it from the original file, and I can't notice a difference in my cans between playing it raw and playing the MP3.
