Choose your sound card.

@CommodoreBlog Gravis UltraSound for sure! Best soundcard ever.

@CommodoreBlog General MIDI attached to a Korg

@CommodoreBlog Sound blaster

@CommodoreBlog Gravis Ultrasound. No question.

@CommodoreBlog Sound blaster pro!

@CommodoreBlog Did anyone ever choose General Midi? That would be a MIDI device connected to a serial port?

@CommodoreBlog When you saw this on your screen . . . you know a priceless moment of immersion in a quality digital game was ahead. Games coded in C & ASM by coders who knew what they were doing. Not some random virtual machine memory sucking auto-spit code.

@CommodoreBlog No SoundBlaster Pro, butAWS32 would do fine

@CommodoreBlog Did anyone ever actually know anyone with a Gravis Ultrasound? I swear I never have.

@CommodoreBlog I hope you remember the right IO address, IRQ, and DMA channel.

@CommodoreBlog My 1st sound card was a Sound Blaster. It came in kit that also had a 2X CD-ROM and 2 speakers. I bought it at Babbage's and added it to my 486DX33 that I had built.

@CommodoreBlog no GUS, no demo :)

@CommodoreBlog My Dad used to let me connect the pc to his Roland E-70 so yea usually General midi.

@CommodoreBlog Look at this rich boy

@CommodoreBlog If it's not a Scund Blaster, I don't wanna know about it.

@CommodoreBlog Ultrasound. If you had one, you'd know.

@CommodoreBlog No adlib gold card as usual 😔

@CommodoreBlog That was always a good one. I remember always wondering how good a Gravis ultrasound sounded.

@CommodoreBlog General MIDI?! Where is MT-32?

@CommodoreBlog I used to choose Adlib for the bants

@CommodoreBlog Ooooooh. I remember. And I was the poor kid that had none 😭😭😭

@CommodoreBlog Keep them coming

@CommodoreBlog Is it fair to say that Sound Blaster was the most widely supported sound card?

@CommodoreBlog How about this?

Ah. The good ole days. I remember staring at awe at how realistic VGA graphics looked on my friends computer... I was stuck on CGA at the time. Here's the kicker that us old-timers will remember: The Commodore Amiga came with great graphics and sound built in (as well as a multitasking-friendly architecture) and was dismissed because "business doesn't need these things..."

@CommodoreBlog Gravis UltraSound for Life

@CommodoreBlog awe32 I had one of those beasts on a 5.1 speaker system man it was beautiful sound

@CommodoreBlog Coming to this from an Amiga seemed like such a backwards step 😁

@CommodoreBlog Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16

@CommodoreBlog Felt like a king always choosing Soundblaster after years of pc speaker. Port 220, IRQ 5 , DM1. And if I was feeling adventurous, the ide cd-rom drive on D: as well. Memmaker, EMS/XMS, the things we used to do, mouse divers :p

@CommodoreBlog I had an adlib. My Computer was a Commodore PCIII 286.

@CommodoreBlog What, no SID option? 😂
