This one's rather sad, especially taken into context. We will probably never see RPGs as good as the old Ultima games, ever again.  no

http://www.midishrine.com/dritidet/mpc/Doom/level2.mid

This is the music to the second level of Doom. For some reason, it reminds me of porno music. Unfortunately, I haven't convinced a girl to "experience" this music with me. For one thing, it's too short. Wink

Chrono Trigger. Another kick ass game that they don't make anymore. Sad

The Unforgiven. The original song is overproduced pop music and a sellout for Metallica, but damn, the MIDI smokes. There's just something about MIDI that makes it 100x better.

The music to Tyrian, the greatest side scrolling shooting game of all time. Ok, it's in mp3, for some reason, and 2x faster than normal, but still kicks ass.

EDIT: Screwed up the Tyrian link, go find it yourself. Yes, it's worth it. Wink

Overall, I find that MIDI tends to evoke sadness and nostalgia, for some reason. I'm not talking just about the old video games, either; the Metallica one shows this effect a lot. Also, at one time, MIDIs were seen as a major piracy issue, before mp3s. Wink

I've always thought the first level of Doom had kick ass music...

Simon's Theme from Castlevania IV has always been a great for me... I couldn't find a perfect version... but this is still good. The bass is lacking though during the bridge. Love that part. Great theme.. would be cool to hear a metal version or something.

Dragon Warrior castle theme... not the original version.. but I love this song. Dragon Warrior always has some good tunes.

Super Mario World Fortress
http://www.midishrine.com/dritidet/sns/Super_Mario_World/fortress.mid

There's tons of other things.. but this is all I feel like finding now.

sort of, tab programs like powertab use midi notes in their playback.

but it's way more complex than that. at one point i knew a shit load about midi, forgot most of it now.

though i do remember controller number 10 is for panning.
