I miss this and I miss the old macs! System 7 was so awsome and excellent graphically.
Alas my opinion about Apples have been waning as I've haven't seen any of the new ones, and some techie friends have told me that they've been going down hill since allieing with Intel.
However, I am about to get a mac soon to see for myself once and for all at this place that has them incredibly cheap (and seems legit under scrutiny):
@Faluragrut I don't think so as it is common to use MOD music for Computers that most certainly have Digital sound Capabilties built in.
SimAnt and SimCity 2000 where originally designed for the Macintosh and thus their music was originally MOD like music. When they decided to port them over to the PC, thats when they redid the music into MIDI music. Obiviously, SimAnt music was redone as MOD music took up alot of RAM for PC's and it was done to make it run on 286's with only 640KBs
ah, how I remember playing this in the 4th grade in our free time, (yes, back then I wasn't as fluent with anything as I am now, I was one of the kids who struggled with everything,) good memories.
Yeah, Mac SC2K and Lode Runner: The Legend Returns (only two games I'm aware of) used a proprietary built-in MIDI synthesizer. I can't remember for the life of me what that MIDI synthesizer is called, but it used a set of software instruments that were MUCH better than the QuickTime synthesizer was at that time (though the QuickTime 2.5 instruments which postdate this game were quite good). There's a program you could use that actually plays these songs back too. Just don't remember the name!
I had a Macintosh Performa 600CD back in the day. I rocked this game all the time on it. The midi bank on the Mac was far better for this. The PC versions are rather clunky and pooh sounding. :(
Wow track 8 sounds so much more inrteresting Wow I like this synthesis much better then PC actually! But the downside is that it is odd because of scratchy un pleasent sounds in the banks of the MIDI!
I've been looking for the Mac version of this music since an OS X upgrade stopped letting me play the game. It's so much better than the PC or DOS version. Thanks so much for uploading it!!!
You can still play it with SheepShaver, which is basically a Classic Mac OS emulator. The audio is a bit choppy at times though, but still worth it for some of these old games.
Sounds like Amiga music! =)

These songs will forever be burned into my memory.
If I were to ever become a corrupt politician these songs would be playing all day as I demolish police and fire stations to get a bigger surplus.

Came here for the song at 2:52 and I was not disappointed. (Here on YouTube, it's called MoogyCit or by its number, 10008.)

I wish someone would do the Flix Mix game rip as it has lots of different kinds of music that are really neat.
Flix mix is a complicated but very pretty moving puzzle game for it's time done by Celeris which does a lot of *Virtual Pool games*.

Yes, I've had the opportunity to play the Mac-OS version of SC2K, and the music is clearly much better compared to the PC version.

I still find one of these songs popping into my head from time to time, though I was a DOS player.

If you want to get this running download Classic-On-Intel 4.0.1 and put the game disc in and it will work just like it did back in the day.
