Abandonware DOS title

Games with an amazing soundtrack

Let's face it: video games designed for DOS weren't famous for their soundtrack. Nonetheless sometimes a musician/programmer managed to produce very nice tunes to the point that we could call that music a proper soundtrack. Music in video games, back in the DOS era, often took form of either MIDI tunes or MOD tracks and some of those melodies are still available somewhere on the internet.
