As you point out, though, the MIDI standard doesn't actually dictate which sounds will be used. It's just that most computers use cheesy ones if you open them up in a normal player like Windows Media or something. |
Interestingly enough, after watching a few dos games on youtube where the person's video (taped, since I think they didn't have video capture programs back in 1990) a game with midi music the sounds actually sound quite a lot worse then the modern computers, which after playing a few games on different computers it seems the sounds were standardized across all modern (I'm guessing about mid-late 90s ish) sound cards and onboard sound.
