Where can I find Dark Castle sound samples?

I've recently re-discovered the old Mac game Dark Castle, and found an emulator for it, but does anyone know where I can download sound samples from the game? I'd love to set up a "nya nya nya nya nya" ringtone or something like that.
Response by poster: Sorry, I didn't mention that I'm not using a Mac but a PC.
I'll try to get ResEdit working in the emulator and see what I can find. I had forgotten all about it!
Hopefully someone has some sound samples laying around already.

I can't help you, but I just wanted to say: I haven't thought about that game in years, but it's really a great one!

You may just want to record the sounds yourself -- maybe look for a PC equivalent of wiretap. I'm sure there's dozens of free options.

You might luck out and find some sound samples but it will probably be faster to capture the audio yourself on the PC, try Easy_ HiQ Recorder (scroll down for free version)

There is a video of the game being played over on youtube, but I think it's the PC version and it has the game music playing so the "nya nya nya nya nya"s are mixed in with the music—maybe not the best quality for a ringtone. There is also a Sega version of the game shown being played here, but the same issue with the overlapping music and nya's. The clips I found from the Mac version (here and here) lack any nya's. I emailed you the closest thing I could find as an MP3.
(However, if you're in the mood to see the game set to the music of that Benny Hill Show Yackety Sax music, look no further).

Response by poster: Thanks for the advice everyone.
I'm working on setting up the emulator tonight (and likely for the next few nights) and I'll post the instructions for running Dark Castle on a PC once I figure it out. Once I do that, I can try capturing the audio.
Special thanks to blueberry for sending the mp3. Really appreciate the effort you put in.

You should be able to use the old sound files directly on OS X; if not, I'm sure there are conversion utilities out there.
