This one's a bit of a puzzler, but games like Tonka Construction 2, Tonka Construction, Reader Rabbit Personalized First Grade, The Treasure! series games too (Treasure Mountain!, Treasure Mathstorm!, Treasure Cove!, etc.), Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games and Adventures in Typing with Timon and Pumbaa is only designed to run on older Windows OS systems like Windows Vista, 98, or XP (an older version of Windows 7). So extracting the sound effects from a game like this will be quite a challenge, mainly because, although I'm positive I can find their original sound files via sourceaudio.soundideas, it's like finding a needle buried in a haystack.

But here's the heartbreaking part: I did have a hard copy of two of these games, but I must've lost them overtime or maybe I threw them away by mistake. So if you have a ROM-based downloadable copy of these games, please redirect me to it and instruct me on how to extract it's sound files so I can try to locate their original raw files on sourceaudio.soundideas.

Plus, listening for the sounds via YouTube videos is tricky because the sound effects are all playing together simultaneously, so identifying each sound effect is near impossible. If I could decompile them like how I use JPEX Free Flash Decompiler, I can listen to each sound file individually and find the original unedited sound effect file on Source Audio.
