I'll give the later versions this, they have way better sound design during the drop sequence itself. Maybe it's just a matter of taste (and I do include Mission Breakout in that since it uses a lot of the sounds created for the Tower before) but there the sounds were a lot more mechanical feeling whereas here they just mostly sound cartoony? I don't know what it is but it just doesn't feel right to me
Yeah, later versions at least sound like elevator motors and actually have lights so you’re not in complete darkness the whole time. This one, while I kinda like it because of the chaos, at the same time sounds like a garbled mess of sounds galore
