Around 2010, a whole bunch of unused MIDI files were discovered inside a Windows 98 SE installation CD on Driver19.cab. It's unknown exactly who composed these files or for what purposes, though at least one of them has been traced back to another composition featured inside some shareware games. It's possible that they're actually from a royalty free MIDI library, though for the safest bet I'll attribute them to Microsoft.
Of these hidden Windows 98 MIDI files, fnkngrvn.mid has become the most popular over the years. Compared to the other files, it's clearly the best composition of all of them. I went ahead and paired it with the best royalty-free animation to match.
