Very solid card, with either original OPL3 or unlicensed copy that sounded 100% the same.

Adding the DX2-66 system will complete this.
The lighting makes the tower look more yellow than it actually is, it's really more cream white.

Don't be fooled by the RAM that I got /
I'm still I'm still Manni from the block /
Used to have a little, now I have a lot /
No matter the form factor I got the modules

That should cover about 80% of my pre-DDR RAM modules, plan is to gather all of it and then add about 50 each of DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 for a practical joke.

Stephanie zu Guttenberg was working for an NGO against the sexual abuse of children at the time.
Maybe the money was indeed for her?

Sie hat ab 2006 in der PR fรผr eine NGO gegen Kindesmissbrauch gearbeitet, und bei "Tatort Internet - Schรผtzt endlich unsere Kinder" (deutsche To Catch a Predator) die Co-Moderation gemacht.

It also is a deliberate choice of the toys to act inanimate whenever looked at (it is a major plot point that they make an exception once).
So why does Buzz Lightyear do it when he still believes to be the eeal thing and not a toy?
A delusion that is of no consequence for the main plot by the way.

Ironically, composed on an Amiga.
Their tracker music features were insane for machines from 1985.
But when the Gravis Ultrasound came out, it had vastly superior quality. Never mind comparing it to what the PC had seen so far.

Nothing will ever flash me as much again as hearing Space Quest III on an MT-32 or Pinball Fantasies on a Gravis Ultrasound.

Exactly, I would not have compared the things at all.
You add a sound card to the PC you *already have for work* and it becomes gaming-capable I guess.
Just like in 1996, sure, a 3D accelerator was almost as expensive as a Playstation but you had a PC anyway and the Voodoo made it rival the PS.

There were some cool looking ones, like the TMNT arcade game conversion, Pac-Mania, the Pinball games etc, and even many that played like ass but still looked cool.
I just don't get why people defend it so much when bad decisions (unfortunately) drove it to extinction.

I don't know about your specific town, but by 1992 most IBM compatible users had a Sound Blaster or compatible card, and they had to buy it sometime, so 1991, with the prices having shrunk, seems like the most likely point in time to do it.

03.02.2026 14:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Over the course of 1991, the regular street price dropped from around 180 to 130, possibly less on sale or used.
Money was worth a lot more, but SB *had* become the standard by then.
So much so that some GUS buyers disappointedly returned it because it was incompatible and they couldn't afford both.

Not in 1989 and in absolute numbers, but it was cheaper than the AdLib despite having more features, and by 1991 it was firmly established as the standard.

I have beloved core memories of playing Pac-Mania, Lemmings and Worms with my family, but as cool as these were, 90% of the Amiga's library looked great on screenshots with amazing color transitions and 5 parallax BGs but then was a sluggish janky platformer that felt like Skunny games on the PC.

"Oh and the PC only had a beeper then" no, the standard was already AdLib or even Sound Blaster 1.
But after these killer games ran on an old 386 but not on the new A1200, and the DX-2 66 and Gravis Ultrasound got released in the same year, the writing was on the wall even before DOOM came out.

Nothing personal against Amiga fans, I had one too and loved it back in the day, but my toenails curl when I hear fanboys tell me how superior their stuff allegedly was *to a 486* like 1992 didn't happen.
You know, when Wolfenstein 3D and Alone in the Dark were released, running fine even on a 386.

I only had like 16 of them and they all died.
Back then those were imported from NL, not exactly cheap either because I had certain requirements for the seeds (must survive outdoors in the soft tomato greenhouse and must survive my newbie treatment).
Might check a local club where to get new ones.

Oh lord, that is the worst AWE32 model to ever exist, even when working, look at that VIBRA chip.
Hanging Note Bug? Both types!
Wavetable connector? No!
Vibra clipping? Yes!
Vibra ringing/hissing? Also yes!
OPL3? No, CQM!
And MPU401 slowdowns like all SB16/32/AWE cards.
Wouldn't touch with a stick.

128 bit memory bus, yikes.
And as long as the seller did not promise 256, they can't even legally be blamed, it's just a dick move from a moral point of view.
