@Moon I remember my dad getting a Game Blaster card for the Tandy 1000. It came with Silpheed, the first game I ever played with MIDI sound

@chrislw I basically got this one so I could mess with OPL3 sound production. I am a complete beginner but I love how it sounds and I want to learn how it was done in the DOS days. -

@Moon it's interesting how 3rd party sound cards have slowly phased out with the exception of higher end audio capture and production.
USB and integrated sound cards have largely taken over. For example, what used to require a specialized sound card I can do with my RodeCaster.
But, I still find them fascinating.

@Moon look into George "The Fat Man" Sanger. Most of the games in the early 90s used his midi timbres.
