Wasn't quite sure where to post this one.. but can any of you think of any games that untilized both 3dfx exclusive (glide only) AND had a *native* MT32 sound option? (ie. not just a GM remap). I can't seem to think of any.

I'm pretty sure there weren't any. When glide became alive, MT32 wasn't used anymore by game developers. I think, that MIDI itself was not used in any of the glide titles, I could be wrong though.

There are a few game titles which use General Midi + 3dfx Voodoo 1 graphics. I can think of Descent 2, Descent 1 (with the unofficial 3dfx patch), Mechwarrior 2, and Lands of Lore 2. There are probably a few more, which I cannot think of at the moment.

There are also 2 games that I know which use the Yamaha XG midi in combination with 3dfx. They are: Extreme Assault and Final Fantasy VII.
