1bit games with music

Hi,

Been curious about this topic. Do you know any b&w games that include music during gameplay? Do not include titles that feature music in title screen/intro ("Airborne").

I know there is quite nice music in Tetris, but those russian melodies tend to stop in middle of gameplay, giving you utter silence.
There is music in Lemmings too, but generates a heavy CPU load on 8 mhz Mac, so it's unplayable.
 
ZeroGravity
Jewelbox (030+)
Cogito (030+)
SimFarm (020+)
Prince of Persia (rare use in gameplay)

Apache Strike - it loops a single tune, but even al these years later, the tune is burned into my memory.
Beyond Dark Castle has music at certain points in the gameplay, but not all the time.
Cairo Shootout? I can't remember, but I vaguely recall it does.
Dungeon of Doom might?
 
Glider up to at least version 4 is playable with music on a 68000 in b&w. It will bog down a bit when there are a multiple sprites on the screen, but it's playable.
 
Lemmings music bogs it down? Are you sure? I played Lemmings to death on my 8MHz Mac SE, and I remember thinking it far superior to my PC - because of the sharp graphics and the music. I mean, the PC graphics were colourful, sure, but 320x200 is below woeful as resolutions go.

I'll have to pull my SE out and verify this claim! I'm sure I'll find other games with music when I do. I'm pretty sure that Fate of Atlantis has music too.
