The Secret of Monkey Island (monophony EP)

Hey folks!

Today I want to announce a little project that I started by popular request. Forget all this hi-fi 8-bit nonsense! Here's the ultimate retro experience: a PC speaker version of the SoMI soundtrack.

(click the funny image ...)

Real PC speaker - no emulators used.
Have fun if you dare!

Would have rather heard the PCjr soundtrack. But nice.

Me too, but I don't have such a machine.

While not completely sure how direct of a comparison it was to the PCjr, sound-wise, DOSBox has the ability to emulate Tandy speaker audio easily enough.

I can confirm it does sound much better than standard PC speaker. Maniac Mansion, for example, sounds great.

It's kind of funny that to hear this we need to download megabytes of digital audio.

yeah, maybe someone knows a program to trigger the internal PC speaker and a program to extract the triggering files of the game. then we could save some bytes.
