The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

Hey Jasper, I'm super curious - do you listen to this music for enjoyment or is it more of a curiosity? Not knocking it, more just trying to understand what people do with this music?

For me it's more nostalgia, since I remember playing the game as a kid and the music was bold and iconic (and part Moonlight Sonata). It's funny though, in my memory it sounded more complex, not just a single square-wave tone. I wonder if there was an AdLib/AWE32/SoundBlaster version that played on my PC.
