Nice..... thanks. This is a historical topic of great interest to me.

I think this was brought up once before, but I'd love a list (which is probably a smaller subset of this) of games that were primarily and specifically written with the MT-32 in mind. All of these games in the Moby list have MT-32 support, but some may also support Adlib, Sound Blaster or GM; or preferably so.

Maybe it's just a matter of the published date? GM/GS came out in 1991 and became a bit more mainstream in 1992-1993. Can you generalize that games before 1992 were more Adlib or MT-32 while games after 1992 were more SB and Midi? (until redbook took over)

So to sum it up:
Which are the games where the specific sound of the MT-32 would be sorely missed?

I don't own a MT-32 yet, but they come up often on eBay. My Roland Sound Canvas has been holding me over for years, so I haven't had the urge. I also didn't start playing PC games until 1991. (Apple ][+ ftw!)

Why not just use a landscape format instead of a portrait format in the document? That way you would have more room to include the developer's info. Actually, a speadsheet would be better.

Just suggestions for the next guy who comes along.

thanks!

Ok, I'll try to re-compile the list and put up when I'm free.

Glad to be of help!

Here is the alternate landscape version of the document. This time, a bit larger - 1.23MB, with 39 pages.

Also here is the zipped file - 149kb.

Valnar, this site might be of interest to you. There is a notation saying which game was originally composed for/in MT-32 and which games aren't.

Nice.....thanks! Looks like somebody had the same question.

I copied your doc to a goole docs spreadsheet, for easier access.
It can be viewed by anyone, and can be edited by anyone who is registered to google docs (it's free).

It can be viewed from this link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=prDM3a … W7U_0hFh9c1AIHQ
