Evolution of PC Audio - As Told by Secret of Monkey Island (2010x1)

Air date: Jan 07, 2010

Computer audio has come quite a way since 1981. Here is a short video I made comparing the major steps from the PC speaker to Adlib on up to today's chips! At least, from the perspective of the LucasArts classic, The Secret of Monkey Island. Monkey Island was chosen due to its having a wide breadth of versions of the same song, as compared to many other games which didn't support this many cards. The final version of the song is from the recent "Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition" on PC/360/PS3 - recorded using live instruments, NOT the CD-ROM version from the early nineties. Some clips recorded by me, others from Crossfire Designs, all awesome.
