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.
“The music and sound are supposed to play in-game, but there's no sound at all. I think it's because it's a DOS game and might be missing a file to work on Windows 7-10.”

The game suffers from poor optimization, running in DOSBox without support for modern display resolutions or a proper 4:3 aspect ratio, and has not been updated to function smoothly on contemporary gaming PCs.
