    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game, originally released in the 90s, is reportedly not functioning properly on modern systems due to missing files necessary for compatibility with Windows 7-10. Players have expressed frustration over the lack of sound, indicating that while the music is present in-game, it fails to play. There is a call for assistance from the community to resolve this issue.
