Yesterday I finally got to the point, where I could run something on my retro Pentium II with its Gravis UltraSound PnP #GUS
One piece of art, which probably influenced me most during my teenage years: the PC demo Second Reality by Future Crew, released for Assembly 1993

Just showed my 11 y/o son the #SecondReality demo by #Finish #demogroup #FutureCrew. I felt like I had to explain our excitement and appreciation at the time. "This was fucking INSANE at the time". Not sure he fully appreciated it. I'm sure he'll be in the same situation when he tries to explain our weird obsession with #AI to his kids.

Didi I run this on a genuine #Pentium system with #gravisultrasound emulation using #a
PicoGUS? Why, yes I did! 😎

Managed to buy a couple of delicious #Trust Soundwave speakers for around €20. Case and contacts cleaned. Tested with #SecondReality by #FutureCrew on my #Pentium 200 sleeper with #TsengLabs #ET6000 graphics and #PicoGUS sound.

#vintagecomputing #MSDOS build progressing. #Pentium 200 with #TsengLabs #ET6000 graphics, CF for storage, #Gotek for floppies and a #PicoGUS with the #McCake #WP32 #MT32Pi wave table add on. Output looped into a #SoundBlaster Vibra 16C for full Gravis Ultrasound, Sound Blaster, Roland and General Midi support. Excellent for all things DOS. Aiming for early to mid 90s games and demos, including point and click adventures from #Sierra and Lucas as well as some of the excellent demos from that time. I'm talking #MonkeyIsland, #LeisureSuitLarry and #FutureCrew and their #SecondReality demo. Tested the latter and got something in my eye. Oh the feels.
