"Dune II was the game I bought a Soundblaster card for. It was one of the first games with voice acting."
I remember staring at the demo in software etc. as the voices came out of the computer ... it was amazing.
I, also, bought a soundcard just for that game - the pro audio spectrum SCSI card (PAS16SCSI) - and later that year, with the help of two different MSDOS SCSI software packages (pirated, of course) and an entire weekend dedicated to various iterations of config.sys and autoexec.bat, I successfully formatted and used a 20MB Apple Macintosh external SCSI disk in DOS.
I thought I was a genius. It remains one of the hacks I am most proud of.
