Working Great (AWEUTIL emulation):
Martian memorandum (mt32)
Rise of the dragon (mt32)
Kyrandia 2 Hand of Fate (gm)
The incredible machine (gm)
Day of The Tentacle (gm)
Island of Dr. Brain (gm)
Charlie The Duck (gm)
Problems:
Fate of Atlantis (mt32): music is suuuuper quiet, can fight the mixer to get it to a reasonable level, but it still sounds a bit off (custom instruments?)
Hocus pocus (gm): sounds good but music will eventually "crash" and stop playing. This can be avoided by disabling digital sound FX.
Legend of Kyrandia 1 (mt32): BGM sounds great but the sound effects sound off, doesn't seem to be a way to choose different devices for them in the setup
Startrek 25th CDROM (mt32): sounds a bit odd, notes stick (custom instruments?)
Startrek Judgement Rites CDROM (mt32): sounds a bit odd, notes stick (custom instruments?)
Tyrian2k (gm): just selecting MIDI on port 330 crashed the setup utility - occurs irrespective of AWEUTIL being loaded

Is there a list somewhere of games which do not use a DOS extender and run in real mode, which also support either the default MT-32 instrument set or General MIDI? I've just setup an AWE64 card, and would like to play around with the emulation to see how it sounds. I realise the prevailing opinion on here is that it's worthless and not worth the time, but I'm determined to give it a try anyway.
So far I've confirmed Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis works with the MT-32 emulation, and sounds to me as though it's using the correct instruments (though I'm not super familiar with the game's soundtrack)
Also the following SCI games support the use of General MIDI emulation with the help of a patch (AWESOL.ZIP):

EcoQuest 1
