I don't think that they are from Gauntlet. (I have it running now.)
Tho I only have an older laptop to test with atm.
Conrad's sounds sound better than Gauntlet. Icky 8bits. :)

There are plenty of free windows software syths out there that could
make Gauntlet style sounds. (Not to mention Conrad's aube, tho I haven't
gotten it to work.) 

There are a couple of  question that I've been thinking these past months.
How do you insure that all sounds are Free and not ripped from somewhere?

What license(s) can one use for Free sounds? Open Content, Ethymonics Free
Music License, or a modified GNU FDL to include sounds or rewritten to only include
sounds.

Yep. I'll be doing what I can until I settle some umm certain matters.
