@@philairone chip tunes for me, although I grew up on Amiga 500. I kind of alternate the chip tune main theme and chiptune LeChuck theme as my ringtone
It's hard to convey just how much of a sensation the Amiga was (sound- and graphics-wise) for us 70s/80s kids who had started out with VCS2600s and had upgraded to Sinclair Spectrums or C-64s when we first encountered the Amiga. I still remember marvelling at some of the early games on that thing or simply being blown away by some audio-demo. The only other "leap forward" that came close was playing Wolfenstein 3D and Wing Commander 2 on my first VGA-capable, SoundBlaster equipped PC (a 386 with 8MB of RAM and a *gasp* 300MB HDD ;) . Smartphones and the internet are cool, but I pity those who are too young to have experienced the era(s) of early consoles and of home-computers. God, I sound like an old fart... :D
Thanks for sharing, I am born in '78 and I have still strong emotion for my commodore Amiga. I would like to add a modern console to your list. Playstation 1. I avoided console untill that moment when Sony brought me in 3d world with titles such tomb raider, tekken, resident evil. I get back to PC just 10 years after, and now I enjoy simulations with an oculus rift. We are lucky. We began with pong and now we can walk in virtual reality!
I never even heard of the Amiga growing up in the 90s. I didn't learn about it until around 2001 when I was into the game Street Rod. I was playing the DOS version and learned their was an Amiga version and I was amazed with how much better it looked and sounded. I started looking into other Amiga games and for the late 80s early 90s they are VERY impressive! As far as I'm aware there was nothing else for the home market that could produce such amazing graphics at that time.
I used to have this game on Amiga and all I remember is "insert disc 2 ... Insert disc 1.... Insert disc 3" 2 minutes of game play later "insert disc 1... Insert disc 2..." A tragic yet satisfying memory for me 😂
Imagine you had the CGA version and you thought that is just how the game was. Then you go over to a friends house who has an Amiga 500 and they load up Monkey Island. Your mind would be blown!
I think i might be the only one here to have a soft spot for the game blaster, such an underrated and forgotten part of the history of not just creative labs but the PC soundcard industry as a whole. Idk if this makes any sense but i feel that the sound it produces was perhaps the closest the PC ever got to truly sounding like the 8-bit chip tunes of the home consoles of the time like the NES and Master System.
@@philairone Hey thanks, I'm planning to do some more. Currently working on the Supercars 2 Theme but will do LeChuck's Theme as well, because I like that a lot.

Ciao, credo che tu abbia fatto un errore di battitura, la Monkey Island è uscita nel 90, non 80. Avevo un dubbio su questo visto gli anni già trascorsi, ma ho verificato: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_Monkey_Island P.s. Finita 1&2 su Amiga 500, la 3 quella in 3D sono rimasto a metà con il Pc.
Ciao, Monkey è del 90, ma il pc sul quale è testato è dell''80, è un video di comparazione tra varie schede audiio come scritto in descrizione! ;). Anche io amiga 500 ❤

Weird video, with lots of mistakes. There was no PC before 1981, Amiga is from 1985, Adlib 1988, etc. Most of all, this is nonsense as tje game is from 1990.
Thanks for the comment, as I wrote multiple times if u play music of a game from 1990 on a 80's PC is not a mistake, but probably you had no time to read all the comments, Understandabler, about amiga I refer to amiga 500 (1987); regarding adlib 1988 same answer. But it is always a pleasure to receive a comment that could improve quality of the video. U like what I did at the end of the video?

The qualitative jump of Amiga 500 over the previous computers shown continues to be astounding...

Game Blaster, Roland MT-32 and Amiga give me goosebumps when listening to those. It's just wonderful
I feel the same
cool Video man. Incredible how the Amiga 500 rocked especially the sound. Incredible.
thanks!
The PC speaker version + VGA graphics is how I'll always remember this game. Classic!!
Sweet memories! Nostalgia.
I will always have a soft spot for that Tandy sound.
Mee too. It freeze time on past memories. Nostalgia.

Yes!! It was shoking how much amiga change the world. Sounds, colors... before soundblaster amiga was top machine!
I listened to this video on my pc speaker and they all sounded the same
eheheh, time to improve your system, or just enjoy the simple beats :)
Are they pierced by any chance ?

@@farhanatashiga3721 not only nostalgia, we should resume that Technology!
Nothing beats the first pc speaker. By far the best. Wonderful.
I love the amiga one, but enjoy older more than newer too
0:21 This game was made in 1990, not 1980
Yap, but as You can read from my answer to other comments the software was from the 80's and that is the machine where the game is tested
The excellent und probably best version on FM Towns is missing!
Which one?
And this is a masterpiece in videogame however ! I originally played it on Amiga 500 and PC !
@@minidolly77 me too 🖤
There's a CD-ROM version where there is no intro music but instead some sound effects. The best intro in my opinion.
i want that !!!!!
What you did at the end was awesome, just incredible ! love x
You are amazing :D But it;s not 1980, it's 1990.. The reversal is out of this world,..
Experimentatal! I think the first machine's sounds are from the end of the 80's, but I am not sure about it!
The game is from 1990, but the computers aren't
i kinda like the first ones best, they got this blippy charm, y'know?
Old is good!
Ron Gilbert needs to get his game back, so we can see more of Monkey Island.
Not easy when it belongs to a company who bought Star Wars!
Mission accomplished
I'm guessing you're really excited at this time.
This comment aged extremely well
God I really love the Tandy version
❤
Composition that works with only 1 channel must be outstanding.
Agree
I like your arrangiamento, bravo!
@@philairone Hey thanks, I'm planning to do some more. Currently working on the Supercars 2 Theme but will do LeChuck's Theme as well, because I like that a lot.
I donk know why but i love this theme
Because it is magic! ;)
Mêlée is a really strange name for an island tho
I know, sounds like a vacuum cleaner :)
The music is surprisingly crappy on ST, I expected it to be on Amiga level. Thanks for the video!
Thank you !
@@NihilQuest considering the ST's sound chip, it makes sense for it to sound crappy
^
STs sound chip is basically just the Tandy
Second best intro ever made.
now I am curious, which is the first one?
@@philairone Youve played Monkey Island™ ? The second biggest monkey head Guybrush has ever seen? 😉
The Amiga 500 version sounds to me like if this game was on the Game Boy Advance.
:D no way!! Amiga sounds 10000000000000 times better!
Amazing. Emotion.
Nostalgia ❤

그래도 처음썼던 에드립카드가 더 정겹게 들리는듯
진정한 사랑은 영원합니다! ;)
the EGA version was the total break
I love the Amiga one, but old PC sounds makes me young again :)
What Monkey Island came out in 1980? Or is it just running on a machine from that time?!Nice vid by the way, thanks.
Second option ;)
09:05 is the best version of the game in my opinion but maybe because it was the one i used to play
effetto nostalgia!
The first one sounds like its choking
8 bit chocke :D
That is the best rendition of the Secret of Monkey Island theme on PC Speakers I've ever heard ! What hardware is that?
Thanks, it is written on the description with timing.
Amiga all the way!
🖖🏻🖤🤙🏻
Gameblaster is in a different key I wonder why
No idea!
Emulation, not real hardware
Ending is too genius not to give like
Thank You! 🙏🏻
4:10 has such a Latin American feel, it's contagious!
eheheh I love it !
I like how you make up these years, monkey island 1 was released in 1990, so there was no monkey island in the 80s.
You definitly not reading description and comment eh... take a look before complaining.
The years are the Release Years of the Hardware.
@@_Althena exactly! Thanks! 🙏🏻
I have so many questions!
Go 4 it!
Monkey island didn't come out until 1990, you have the dates wrong!
I tested it on a 1980 sound card as it is written in description ;)
@@philairone the PC speaker is not a sound card, and the PC speaker came out with the original pc, which was released in August, 1981.
@@AlsGeekLab Yes. That's correct, I enjoy how it sounds and find intresting to hear monkey theme on an IBM 80's technology! Thanks for the infos.
Amiga the best
yes!
Monkey Island released in 1990, why the ef, trying it on 1980 PC, which is possibly fake.
Soundcard is from the 80's, just to feel how it sound on it
1980 dude ??
The machine not the game :)
Amiga 500 ✊
Always!

Sometimes I exxxagerate with my editing :) I know!
Fm-towns is missing. It´s likely the best
I only covered the intro here
@@philairone and fmtowns had no intro?
@@hgilial3752 i mean, here I only covered and remixed different versions of S.o.M.I. intro
I see the Game in 1991
