Welcome to the MIDI Video Game Music Page. All too often, you've probably looked around for a MIDI file from your favorite video game of long ago, and have turned up empty-handed. Well, I've going to try to change that. As you can see, this page has only just been put up recently, so you can't really expect much. But, I intend to add a lot more as I go along. I will put up all the MIDI video game music I have, and in turn I hope that some of you who visit my page will pass me some of your music that I don't have, so I can add it to my page. If you have a request for a MIDI file that you can't find....you can e-mail me your request, and I'll add it to the wishlist.

I'm not exactly sure what MIDI files are or what they consist of, but I know that depending on what kind of sound card you have, you can end up with great MIDI music...or a lot of beeps. If you've played MIDI files on your computer, and they sound like a bunch of beeps and shrill noises, you need either a better sound card, or wavetable emulator software. If you're are looking for the cheaper way to have better MIDI playback, you should get a wavetable emulator. The best of these emulators, in my opinion, is Wingroove. It plays your MIDI files with the added instruments that were meant to be there, through software, instead of through an expensive sound card. It also uses a device driver for MIDI playback, so no matter what windows program you're in, the MIDI files will be played to their full potential. If you download Wingroove, you'd better have a 486/33 or higher and a 16-bit sound card. I've tried it with an 8-bit sound card, and quality if terrible. To take advantage of CD-quality MIDI, you will need a pentium 75+. As well, if you have Windows NT, you will have considerable slowdown, even with a pentium 75. So, if you have Windows NT, don't bother using Wingroove.
