Notes:
To be honest, I only did this because the SNES
version has had a rip for YEARS, yet the
Genesis version has NOT had a rip at all.

I know this game was meant to make math fun,
but having been a high-school graduate and
having dealt with THE most bullshit parts of
math (Geometry?? Algebra??? Pre-Calc????)
I couldn't put myself up to FINISH this game.

I still ended up ripping this soundtrack
anyways to see what songs I couldn't hear due
to my refusal to finish this thing.

Side note: GDRI lists this game having an
"unknown custom" sound engine, but Mark
Cooksey's involvment, as well as the instrument
design, practically serve as a dead giveaway
that Cooksey used his own sound driver.

I usually insist on "album gain", but in this
game, the introduction track was unusually
quiet compared to the rest of the tracks and
it doesn't seem intentional. Thus I made it
twice as loud as usual.
