Ads.mid

Ads, also known as Ads.mid, ADS.MID or Commercials is a midi file that was composed for use with old Windows 3.1 software, mostly game demo discs.

The midi file's composer is currently unknown.

It is a ragtime melody that has a duration time of 2 minutes, 36 seconds (2:36). The song plays at 112 BPM.

Power Games for Windows 3.1
Ads.mid was one of few midi files used for Power Games (Game.exe), along side of Acres.mid, Affair.mid & Aflatbls.mid.

These midi files can be found in the files for Power Games (Game.exe). However, only Acres.mid appears to be used for the demo menu alone. Where the other three midi files play remains a mystery.

Two other midi files, Midi.mid (The Greens v1.5 intro screen) & Game.mid (The Greens v1.5 level music) are also found hidden away in the files of Power Games, since the demo cd contained a game called The Greens v1.5, which has two midi files as its soundtrack.

Listen to Midi
Since the midi file was designed to run on an OPL3 soundcard, the midi file will sound drastically different on newer versions of Windows since they use a Roland Wavetable General Midi soundcard.

(Note: If you're using Google Chrome or Opera, the midi files will download instead)
