The Game Music Format (GMF) (the name is a guess) was created by Adventure Soft for their Adventure Game Operating System (AGOS) engine.

The format seems to be inspired from MUS (Accolade) format.

Players

Currently, there are no stand alone players, but the SCUMM VM, which supports the AGOS engine, has a GMF player built-in.

Technical

The file usually starts with a "GMF" header, but the rest of it is similar to MUS (Accolade) format. It also can contain multiple GMF headers inside (actual for the sound effects), in this case the file starts with an array of 16-bit offsets, each of them pointing to "GMF" header.
