Quality aside (because it's obvious), here's how I rank them in terms of how well they sound: 8. Mac II 7. Game Blaster 6. Sound Blaster 5. HD Audio (The trumpets at the end make it sound bad, also the rythm is off in some sections) 4. Microsoft GS 3. Amiga 2. CD Audio 1. Roland MT32
What is the purpose of including Microsoft GS? First of all it's not really Microsoft's, but sample recordings from a Roland SC-55. Second, they're only mapped to the General Midi standard, not the MT-32's own instrument order, so without the proper mapping conversion, it will sound flat out wrong, like in this video.
Pirate: "Guybrush Threepwood? That's the stupidest name I've ever heard!"
Guybrush: "Hey! What's your name then?"
Pirate: "Mancomb Seepgood."
This melody was what turned me into an artist
Same here friend 👍 did you know that the melody is a song from the 18th century? See here: ruclips.net/video/t62Gth_nnFs/видео.html
Great compilation! (The Microsoft GS was headache-inducing, although it's good that it's included.)
It's a real drinking song, called "O, Good Ale, Thou Art My Darling", from olden times.
Wow... Now that's quality of work. They don't put that effort into games anymore
Sento il profumo del mare
So glad that you not only uploaded this but organized it by sound chip. Thanks for the upload.
Really good.
Much more variation than in most soundcard comparison videos.
Fantastic. My favourite one is the cd audio version and then the Roland one.
Thanks for listening
extremely satisfying
Amiga rules ❤️
Nice Video!

The Amiga is clearly the best version
Honestly for what it could do, that mac wasn’t half bad.
