Funnily enough Diablo is one of the ones I thought of.
I first tried a warez version which had no music, then bought the game
so I would have the music and became totally sick of it within a day or
two and played mp3s in the background instead.
This was a hassle under win95 since multiple sources couldn't share the
same sound card, so I actually had 2 soundblaster equivalents in the
same machine to pull off music and gaming at the same time.
One an actual SB and one an 8bit clone card.
