Having grown up gaming on PC speaker I only knew the wavetable MIDI miracles from hearsay. Now any time I touch some DOSbox retro memory I'm nothing but disappointed becausr those MIDI tunes? They are just that, tinny voyages through the general MIDI instrument set where well made PC speaker programming can have awesome roughness.
