Evolution of PC Audio - As Told by Secret of Monkey Island

Richtig Laune macht dieses Video. Anhand des Themes von Monkey Island durchreist der Zuhörer nochmals das Computerzeitalter mit all seinem frühen Gepiepse bis zum Monster-Sound besserer Sound-Karten. Angefangen vom IBM PC Speaker 1981 zu Adlib 1987, dann der deutlich angenehmere Sound 1988 bis hin zur CD Qualität in 1994.


Monkey Island was chosen due to its having the widest amount of versions of the same song, as compared to most 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.
