So it seems that everybody screams in the original PoP as well when they reach the right speed, but you need some special circumstances to hear it.

Hah! Even something strange happens in this video...





Check the 1:59 timestamp... The Kid screams but is somehow able to grab the ledge. I think first the game checks if Kid is going to fall and then plays the scream sound, but as the Kid is two floors above, he can grab the ledge. Same thing happens if the Kid lands on the guard and even if he should die, the game keeps him active... Wondering if that can be fixed...

And even shadow would scream

Various consoles have been released the last 5 or so years that emulate and look like old consoles, such as the "Super NES Classic Edition" hardware.
All these consoles ship with games (included).
It's striking that none of that hardware ships with PoP.

The games they do come with are listed here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_NES ... tion#Games
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NES_Class ... uded_games
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Classic#Games
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TurboGrafx-16_Mini#Games
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis_Mini#Games
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_Geo#Neo_Geo_Mini
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Flashback_series

It seems likely that for at least one of these consoles, Ubisoft was asked if PoP could be included.
This makes me wonder why PoP is never one of the included games.

I'm currently creating a mod of the original game that prevents the player from using Shift and down arrow.

I'll also soon release a new apoplexy version that'll allow disabling PoP1 for DOS gameplay keys.
This is all based on hex edits explained by David.

A skilled PoP player.

I recently found out what is the custom title screen music in the mod KX - Out of Time. (I didn't even remember that it had one...)
(Note: The MIDI sounds much better if you extract it with PR and play it outside PoP.)

The music is IceCap Zone Act 1 from Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

This MIDI file can be found, for example, on VGMusic.com with the title Ice Cap Zone: Act 1 (2).
