The game contains only one tune - modified version of the [[Queen]]'s [[Vultan's Theme]]. This great song is repeating in the menu.
 
  
This is rearranged version of the [[Apache Strike (MAC)|Macintosh tune]]. Arranger did a nice work converting sound for Commodore platform, so its quality is much better than original game music.
