Retro Synth and Industrial Dance are 2 formerly commercial psuedo-General MIDI soundfonts by SONiVOX. They were $39.95 each, and are no longer available on the current SONiVOX website.

These soundfonts do not exactly follow the GM standard in terms of instruments. This can make some MIDIs sound strange, such as E1M2's slap bass being played as a weird synthy sound.

Soundfonts are now available here: dropbox.com/sh/59vbyllqgc2n6oy/AACrYfUlaZt4itdzCvQArXBTa?dl=0
