This is THE sound of 1980s computer games, or in this case mid 1992…

@Valmond@lemmy.world Oh yeah, I LOVE the SID! I should have specified PC / MS DOS

Let's not forget the Pokey chip.

@root42@chaos.social Actually its from 9212. It says so right there! 14th Quarter.

[–] root42@chaos.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@chris@social.uggs.io You mean 2nd quarter of 1992, right? 9212 would probably mean 12th week of 1992.

@root42@chaos.social (waits for you to check the image and get the joke...)

@chris@social.uggs.io Q14... saw that. Didn't know you meant it as a joke...

@root42@chaos.social nope, dude #commodo64 #SID or #Amiga #Paula was the sound of the #80s and the first half of #90s 😜 😀 😝

@paoloredaelli@mastodon.uno I should have specified: PC computer games! :)

[–] Toxic_Flange@infosec.exchange 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@root42@chaos.social @paoloredaelli@mastodon.uno but the Commodore and Amigas are Personal Computers too!

[–] root42@chaos.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@Toxic_Flange@infosec.exchange @paoloredaelli@mastodon.uno And I say the Amiga with an MT-32 would also have been okay! And sounded much better than Paula! 😄

@root42@chaos.social @paoloredaelli@mastodon.uno ohh the combo would have been an awesome powerhouse of sound.

@Toxic_Flange@infosec.exchange @paoloredaelli@mastodon.uno Well, who knows... I might have something in my video pipeline...

@root42@chaos.social @paoloredaelli@mastodon.uno oh dude I just followed the channel, cause I got my first (and busted :( ) A500 which green screens .. I can’t wait to get it working and your YT vids are good reference! Already looking to do upgrades before it even works :)

@Toxic_Flange@infosec.exchange Amiga 500s are relatively easy to repair. Quite a bit more complicated than a C64 but still very well documented. You will fix it for sure!
