Joe Starman On Planet X (playable demo)

Prior to you pointing it out, I did not extract any files. At present time I have extracted DESERT.Map, STARMAN.exe and TILES.dat. I am still having the same exact problem show up for me.

You're running the extracted exe, and it's in the same folder as the other files?

Okay, I tried it out and the game made some weird empty files.

Delete the three game files, re extract all of them into a new folder, make sure each file does not have a size of 0 bytes, then run the extracted exe.

Thank you for the help, it works fine now!

I exhausted all the presently available options, will the completed game have music in it?

If I complete the game, there will be music in it, yes.
