Pretty much. The Amiga was limited to four hardware channels which meant for some games with complex music, you had the choice of music or FX but never both.
Later on as programmers started exploiting the hardware, they found ways of using spare CPU cycles to mix the audio in software, allowing for up to seven virtual channels and games like Turrican 2, 3, Stardust, Yo Joe used this to great effect - Turrican 3 even having Dolby Surround sound, but ports continued to be ported lazily.
The music in the last stage... D:
loop, loop, loop...

Thumbs up if you ever played the Sega Master System version and found it vastly superior to this one.

@OleMenn Don't blame the hardware, blame CORE for being so lazy to do a proper Amiga version.

Why do a lot of older computer games feature either sound or music, but not both at the same time? Limitation of sound channels?

Decent port bar no sound fx. The game hasn't aged well but the design was classic Sega. very Japanese.
