Did it always have this music? I don't remember it having music.

I only discovered very recently that it was supposed to have music as well. I played on Windows XP back in the day, and I'm 99% sure the music must have been turned off by default.

Definitely did - that MIDI file is etched into everyone's soul who played Space Cadet but this was early days, maybe it's possible the win9x machine you played on didn't have a sound card?

EDIT: From what others have said it sounds like it's off by default. It's been decades so I don't remember.

Huh, I don't remember turning it on. Who would want it off? The music is amazing, and it laid the seed for me to get into chip music, especially early keygen music (much of which can be found here: https://keygenmusic.tk/#).

Right? Space Cadet, Tempest 3000, One Must Fall 2097 - so much fire tracker/chiptune music from that era.

This site's been around for a while and is really good as well (has a bunch of classic collections including High Voltage SID)

Thanks for the link!

Apparently it did, but it was turned off by default since it could have a performance impact on slower machines.

Yes. It's original.
