Original Sounds from WC1 and WC2

[cozens]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could direct me to where I can find .wavs of the weapons from the original WC1 and WC2 games. I have the Kilrathi Saga (no thanks to windows!) and have been re-enjoying the most fun space sims ever created. ..but they just don't seem as real as when I first played them. In order for me to fullfill my nostalgia, I would like for the lasers, mass drivers, neutron guns and particle cannons to sound like they did when the game originally came out. Since Kilrathi Saga uses DirectX to run, they use .wav files to emulate the sounds, and the Origin guys decided that it was easiest to simply use the same sounds for all three WC games' weapons. I don't likee! If there is any way anyone can help me out here, I'd be extatic!
Thanks all! And happy kat-frying!

Okay, I'll try to write more coherently this time. It was 3am when I posted my first message! =T

No, the original WC1 and WC2 did NOT use .wav files for their sound effects. . .however, I know that there are WAY SMART people out there that can either hack into the the gamedat file or something and extract the sounds to a .wav file, or better yet, just run the original WC from a laptop or something, and then hold a mic to the speaker and record the sounds to a wav file on a seperate computer. This is what I would do, but my original WC1 was on 5.25" disks (I haven't seen a drive for this in years!) and my original WC2 is on 13 3.5" disks, (with data errors on disks 7-9, DOH!) So. . .any further ideas? Thanks all!
