Neuromantic Productions (a play on the phrase New Romantic) is the alias of a group of composers and sound designers who worked closely with Sega of America. The group was founded by Mark Miller in 1992 and lasted to 1995, when Miller moved on to Crystal Dynamics. Neuromantic Productions is probably best known for composing the sound and music to Kid Chameleon for the Sega Genesis. The group also created GEMS, the program responsible for all of Sega of America's music.

For some unknown reason, Nuromantic Productions is credited in the Genesis version of Monopoly, but not the SNES version even though it uses the same music and sound. While the group's name is spelled differently in many games, Mark Miller, founder of the group, spells it Neuromantic.

The group of composers were:

Audio Development

Genesis

Various members of Neuromantic created the famous GEMS sound driver and software.

NES

Though the company did not work on the NES, their music was used in the game Krusty's Fun House, and arranged for the NES by David Whittaker, who entered the music in assembly into his sound driver. The same applies for the Game Gear, Master System, Amiga, and SNES versions of the game.

SNES

The group used Sculptured Software's BMus driver and software.
