"Excellent soundtrack that complimented the game beautifully"
[9/10]
Text-based adventures were very much on their way out when Gateway 2 was released, but it lived to seen to its full maturity of the genre. The music was mostly original and despite sounding occassionally 'too electronic' on FM midi, it firmly cemented the emotional feel of the game. This game was honestly scored better than many movies are.

The tension in track 21 is especially engaging and track 3 has a groove to it while carry a whimsical feel. Any musician wanting to get a little inspiration for a diffrent sound can probably find a bit on a few listens through, as there a few tracks that stand well alone outside of the game.

I DON'T WANT TO READ THIS, I WANNA DOWNLOAD TUNES!

Welcome to World of game Mids, collection of game music in MIDI format. Midi format was very popular in PC games especially within years 1991-1996, so this site would enjoy every fan of PC game music (or PC game mids) from these years. And because quality of midi tunes raises with quality of soundcard, you can listen to these tunes now mostly in much better quality as you possibly listened to when the games were released! And yes, this page is also great resource if you are looking for cool mobile phone ringtunes based on music from games (of course, your cellphone must support polyphonic Midi files to play :) ). Near PC game music you can find here tons of another game music for other computers and consoles, either arranged or remixes - because MIDI is very popular format for doing arrangements or remixes of game tunes for all platforms. If you want some suggestions and want to know something more about game mids, look at World of Game Mids FAQ.
