Metropolis (Atari ST, 1987) gameplay and using midi option for music

Metropolis is an Atari ST game released in 1987 by Paradox (Eidersoft?)

First time i am playing this game... the controls are extremly bad, besides that so is it an ok game. This video is ment to show Atari ST games with MIDI support and not me showing my gameplay skills ;-)
(most games are too difficult for me anyway)

Like most other Paradox games so is the midi support ment for monotimbral synths (i dont know what minimum polophony is required).
Actually so is the YM2149 music more advanced (having more sounds..like snare) using MIDI output so are you limited to just one instrument.

It was not possible to turn of just the YM2149 music and keep the soundeffects only to be mixed with the MIDI music... so had to mix the YM2149 and MIDI music to get all sound effects.
The first minute is YM2149 only and then it is MIDI sounds only for about 1 minute... after that so had i them all mixed.

Using Yamaha MU1000 as i do most of the time recording those videos of Atari ST games with MIDI support :-)

That's some impressive music for an Atari St. And I thought Obliterator sounded good.
