- magicalhippo 8y agoReminded me of Mean Streets, with it's RealSound[1] voices https://youtu.be/WJ4rYt8v--4?t=153 https://youtu.be/WJ4rYt8v--4?t=153 Was amazed when I heard it for the first time. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealSound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealSound
- magicalhippo 8y agoAnd having now read the article I see it mentions RealSound, albeit not Mean Streets. The digitized speech was something else when I heard it. Game too, for that matter.
- gorb314 8y agoI agree, even as a young kid with no idea how make the speaker even go beep (I was young, ok?) hearing the music/speech coming from Mean Streets was amazing. Everything else up to that point was just beeping and blipping... IIRC the volume was very low though.
- jchw 8y agoIIRC 8088 mph has to go to great lengths for the timings to line up, using cycle counting instead of interrupts for timing, among other hacks/shortcuts. I'm guessing that typical 386/486 CPUs were powerful enough to not need this level of optimization.
