Title: Classic Game Music

Some mixes of classic game MIDI files here (http://www.planetdescent.net/index.php?action=mgallery;sa=album;id=23).

Here's a sample:

I love how bassy old game music always is, and just the sound of the music in general. Game music these days is either too soft (background music on most MMORPGs) or too complicated (No need for a whole orchestra!).

The D2 title music is still one of my top favorite tracks of all time. It just promises an epic game.

lol yeah, I went to look it up right after that post. Funny how much better that sounds than it does when I play the game. Well, perhaps not better, but more authentic...

There was a thread somewhere here a month or so ago in which someone was giving constructive criticism on someone's music, and it had a lot of good information in it. Can someone point me to it? I can't find it.

(Yes I know, I'm so needy.)
