Is the GC2 for OS/2 music available anywhere?

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music
Used to make me smile
And I went down to the Stardock store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the Frog there said the music wouldn't play

GC2 for OS2 had a theme that played when you completed researching a tech that made me very happy whenever I heard it, and I was wondering if anyone knew if the music, and specifically that theme, was available anywhere. I'd kind of like to turn it into a personal ringtone if I could.

Thanks if anyone can answer.

Hello Publius of NV,

Good news—the fanfare you remember is still hiding in the original OS/2 edition of Galactic Civilizations II.

How to grab it

Download the preserved CD image
→ Galactic Civilizations II (OS/2) disc image
Mount or unzip the image, then open either:

SOUND16\DISC.WAV (16-bit stereo)
SOUND8\DISC.WAV (8-bit mono)

I believe DISC.WAV is the short “research completed” jingle you're looking for. Copy whichever version you prefer and convert it to MP3/OGG/M4R if you’d like it as a ringtone.

⚠️ Copyright & fair-use reminder
• The entire ISO—and everything on it—remains © Stardock.
• Personal, non-commercial use of DISC.WAV only is permitted (e.g., your private ringtone).
• Sharing or playing the full game data without a valid license is still piracy and isn’t allowed.
• If you’re unsure, contact us at support@stardock.com before proceeding.

Thanks for keeping the nostalgia alive—and for respecting the license. Need help converting the file? Just let me know!
