Music

The only music is a bebop composed by renowned freelancer Rudolf Stember. It plays after you launch the game and stops once you set it up. Afterwards, you hear nine sound effects, including voices, upon game events.

Magazines rated sound 15%, 27%, 50%, 68%, 8/12, and C. PC Joker specifically mentioned "nice melodies".

Recording

The music was recorded on a real Pentium 60 MHz with a Sound Blaster 16 CT1740 and its bundled Creative Sound Blaster 16 Wave and MIDI driver. The song was played twice, 10 seconds longer, and faded out.
