It had a rad theme song!

I had to fire up the game to hear for myself.

I can't say I'm especially impressed. I did assume it was an early
example of tracker music, which would have made it stand out amongst
other titles of that era, which relied on cheesy-sounding FM
synthesis. However, the video indicates it uses Roland MT-32,
presumably with custom sound patches.

TL;DR: I've heard a lot worse when it comes to soundtracks, but I've
heard a lot better too. ;-)
