hi why do doujin games from the late 90's/early 00's have such good MIDI music

for context, me and @BabyPinkSnail were chatting the other night while listening to Speedy Eggbert music of course and she brought up some old doujin racing game that Vinny played called "Xelphi: Second Limit" and good LORD the soundtrack

Listen to this banger

Can we have more SC-55 soundtracks in games please? Thanks
