The Apple II version has the exact same sound effects!
And would have more similar graphics if the programmers, who ported it to PC, could exploit the features of the CGA, and not only using those ugly cian and rose colors (yech!), but all the possible CGA colors like in Leisure Larry!
@1xWertzui CGA is only 4 colors. You can either have the white/cyan/pink variety, or the yellow/blue/red variety. They both use all possible CGA colors, just different sets of 4.
@1xWertzui You're not going to find a game that runs the modified text mode to generate all 16 colors. 16 color didn't become widely available in games until the invention of EGA.

@klaitu2 That's for resolution 320x200. Lower resolution (160x200?) can display all 16 CGA colors.

@klaitu2 Yeah, sadly...
Perhaps because of incompability issues with different hardware?
