So, I never thinked ABUSE had music, but once I saw a gameplay video with music I think it was a fake thing, but then I was searching on the configs file and I saw some midi config, and that's weird since on setup there's no midi settings.

The searching started, I found a SDL abuse over modb that had an extra folder called "MUSIC" on it, and there was some .hmi music files, but I couldn't hear it over windows 8, I think the file is too old for a new os 😖...

So the thing is, why the dos version hadn't the MUSIC folder on it and there wasn't a midi config over setup.exe? and since I wish I could play it with the midi files on dos version, what would be the config to play on an adlib or general midi compatible card?

Abuse v1.05 does not have music, but v2.00 does, so maybe you just need to get the later version?

The game is freeware now: http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Abuse.html

Thanks for the repply, I didn't knew there was a newest dos version, but, I guess almost websites (including abandonia) host the older version because the midi files kinda sux, I think it would be better played over opl3, but there's only MPU-403 and others on the same type to select '-'...

Anyway, thanks for finding me a file with the new version, it's just bad that I can't set an adlib like midi card

I only recently learned Abuse actually had music by watching a video of the Amiga version

all those years ago I've never heard music either, in either 1995 or 1996 version

Never played the SDL ports or any other non-DOS Version.

I ported the SDL version to the Wii a couple years ago for the heck of it, and I think it used timidity or something (non-soundfont based) for MIDI music.
