Playing Mastertype on the IBM PC

The following is footage of the educational typing game Mastertype, published for the IBM PC by Lightning Software in 1983. It is not a complete playthrough of every typing lesson, but rather just enough gameplay to serve as a reference for how the game performs on the original hardware it was developed for.
This footage was recorded from an IBM PC (8088 CPU running at 4.77MHz) with a ("new-style") CGA card. The audio was tapped from the PC speaker and the video was recorded from the CGA composite output. The result was post-processed from 30i to 60p; all source frames are intact.

Is this for a new project?

No, I uploaded about 15 gameplay videos 15 years ago, and set youtube to publish them every october from then until 2025. RUclips doesn't let you schedule that far in advance any more :-D
