Try the CD32 version with arcade audio tracks now.

note: the original (even some cracks) used EA boot with a wrong data read that worked only if rom (execbase) was located at $FCxxxx. With exec vectors at something else ($F80000 for 512K ROM) the EA boot/protection made the game crash. The fix was first released by Derek Noomburg on aminet.

Of course some crackers did a very good job decrypting the executable and completely bypassing this EA boot (also present in a lot of other games like Arctic Fox, Archon I&II, others I don't remember)
