Hi, I dragged out an old machine that's running Windows XP. It does have a PC speaker. I think it was purchased in 2002. I remember playing the demos of your games previously on it, and the PC speaker worked. The only thing I have to do to get this machine up and running again is to replace the fan. I do look forward to the game you mentioned. It sounds intriguing. Considering that the shooting range and Cops were both excellent, I imagine that merging them will create something very worth my time and money.
