IBM 5155 Playing the Secret of Monkey Island Theme Song

[@jaskamakynen7766]

Floppy 1 - The secret of Monkey Island Floppy 2 - Nuclear weapon launchcodes

[@NinoJoel]

The guy at the missile launch base accidentally starts the launch codes instead of the game xD

[@NinoJoel]

@Guybrush Threepwood at least the guy who mistook the launch codes with monkey island had a good time for a couple of minutes xD

[@MADMAXMAREK]

hahahaha!!!

[@chacecrowell]

Unmarked Floppy 3 - WarGames

[@SilverBullet93GT]

Floppy 2: spare votes

[@GeekMasterGames]

The speaker can only make one sound at a time. The fact that it sounds like there's at LEAST 2 instruments simultaneously is a testament to the composition of the song and translating it to the PC speaker.

[@sundhaug92]

Another trick is that the speaker can actually only do one frequency, but people found out that you could change the frequency by turning it off early at precise times

[@Danirijeka]

The noise of the magnetic head on the floppy disk. Goodness, the *memories* :(

[@headrockbeats]

GNNNK... hisshisshisshisshisshisshisshiss... GNNK-GNNK... hisshisshisshissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. The sounds of my childhood.

[@cebruthius]

It's the stepper motor

[@LazyBastard69]

Profile picture checks out

[@arielgoldfarb4118]

The nerves when you were installing a game with dos ...

[@Turborider]

Sounds a bit like a printer nowadays because of the stepper motors

[@dfgdfg_]

The sounds of the keyboard and loading. It's like going back in time 30 years.

[@Nicolomeus]

It's nearly 50, my son

[@svevo]

I'm almost 48 and these things were old when I was a kid...

[@Awantg]

i wanna cry haha. That music.. both, the pc speaker and floppy head blazing across the magnetic surface where we old guys once we lived...

[@SilverBullet93GT]

the immersive graphics and sound quality are so real :)

[@7thSmurf]

it may sound hard..but i think your laptop could be a little out of date...

[@FlippinTimmy]

By that, he means WAY out of date. Like 35 years.

[@Devilot91]

+Timothy Stein So what? I still play it on my old pc with Windows 98, a 17 years old system :P

[@Dvach_Hikka]

+7thSmurf If he update to Windows 10 it might speed things up.

[@carenthir74]

XDDD You made my day

[@zephyr733]

*Is still playing Minecraft on game boy colour*

[@maricampari3970]

Came for Monkey Island Theme, stayed for the Floppy Drive's sweet jams

[@dreamershy]

Can I cry? This is awesome!

[@dreamershy]

@@gw3327 yes it is.

[@fatimamartins5925]

yes,you have permission to cry

[@rianvoogt4701]

I was like: 'ok, so its gonna start right?' Man, totally forgot how low the Mhz were on them old bunkers (old metal case pc) of course the floppy itself delayed stuff.

[@hansenvspredator7812]

The days of always having to edit autoexec.bat and config.sys files to play adventure games

[@victormanteca7395]

Extended memory, expanded memory... Then that glorious DOS/4GW invention...

[@ownageDan]

memmaker :D

[@lucius1976]

Only did that in order to play Wing Commander

[@SilverBullet93GT]

someone i know had multiple boot options with multiple autoexec etc configurations

[@itsfine5818]

You could say it was an adventure in and on itself.

[@simonheld8788]

Wow! Dieser Sound bringt so viele Erinnerungen zurück! Sehr sehr sehr nice

[@layzer80]

best version of this song. its like the voice of an angel

[@telprydain1]

God... Everything from the tune to the sound of the disk drives... Amazing! Thanks for uploading.

[@TheRealTricky]

I remember having to hear the song like that before I bought my first Sound Blaster (making all my friends jealous in the process). Ooh, I miss the days. By the way, you film like a dairy farmer!

[@VassChristos]

Sweet memories!!!! Sweet memories of another era!! Thanks...

[@gcampa]

Beautiful... those sounds, those graphics... the many floppy discs just for playing one game. Going to the PC games store with friends and choosing a random game. Unforgettable.

[@leoventi4448]

The sound of the PC Speaker....that is the way i remember this game. Speakers sound and amber screen. Beautiful nostalgic

[@Worxon]

Thanks for bringing back a Part of my Childhood

[@LazySamuraiVT]

Ah! My first PC! Oh the nostalgia. Loved that old brick. ( and its even better with MonkeyIsland)

[@metalgeardull8279]

Once more, my brain has reminded me of this video. To whomever is reading, I wish you well.

[@ObiWanBillKenobi]

You want to be a pirate, huh? You look more like a flooring inspector.

[@vahidmirkhani]

The brilliance of that art, using a monochrome and some pixels......

[@CompactedEgg]

Ah, I miss the grind and click of a floppy drive. At least, in those days, you knew something was happening when you were presented with a blank screen!

[@ruolbu]

what a beautiful amber screen

[@WolfySnackrib666]

Hahaha, what the fuck! What a delightful monstrosity of a computer!!

[@rijden-nu]

That was awesome. Blast from the past. Both the game and the computer. Not exactly from the same past but after so many years it tends to blend together somewhat. Thanks!

[@DarqIce]

Oh, the monochrome display, 8-bit music, loud harddrives and floopy disks!!!! The nostalgia...

[@Vumpalouska]

Dear god, that thing should be in a museum!

[@ImEditorial]

So cute how a normal pc with no sound systems works on games now small phones make better quality sound than the most expensive sound systems back then we have came so far

[@h223-n1x]

This brought back the second best memories I had today!

[@Jagcycle]

haha. I forgot about the copyright protection on this game. Memories.

[@ArttuTheCat]

That IBM computer is a legendary classic product 😺👍🕹️. And that loading sound on the floppy disk drives reminds me of the Amiga 500 😹😺👍🕹️. Greetings from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.

[@benagaran20]

That's one kickass smartphone.

[@RWL2012]

it's more the precursor to the laptop. it's the portable version of the original PC.

[@werdanvanich1144]

Вот где мои бессонные ночи! Как давно это было. 👍☺💖

[@LuiggiRetroPC]

Just FANTASTIC! with that IBM's monochrome orange monitor and that speaker sound. ¡Thanks!

[@CloneShockTrooper]

brings me back to more simpler times.. and I miss those times

[@YezaOutcast]

Had This one Running on my 286/16 Highscreen PC. 1MB of RAM and with a 40MB of Harddrive Space. Awesome times.

[@SecondCure]

the sound of my CHildhood

[@weepingscorpion8739]

Man, I would love to own one of these machines. I hope you kept yours and are taking care of it. Great video. :)

[@gcampa]

Awesome!!! I'd love to play it like this or with my old XT and monochrome monitor... good times...

[@bourbaking6900]

I'd love to see a Monkey Island long play on this computer

[@CrisisGuildWOW]

so cool, never knew it would run on anything less than a 286.

[@Rolfhult]

Oh the nostalgy...I remember playing Yatzy and Monkey Island on my 5155 clone "Columbia" late 80's :-)

[@Renamoose]

I love the sound of that keyboard

[@customsongmaker]

The best IBM keyboards had 24 function keys

[@villie86]

A piece of art played on another piece of art... monochrome colors and pc speakers. That looks like a real fun experience.

[@geralt_di_rivia]

The pc speaker, memories... I remember when i put on my 486 a soundblaster, it was a kind of magic.

[@coolman4370]

it's so cute, it's trying it's best!

[@pokerfaceproductions1010]

BUT WITH THAT SAID

[@dussie920]

Awesome!! I love the old hardware and gear!

[@os2171]

This is my favorite game ever (in this version).

[@nasosal]

My god, the patience we had back then............ 🙂

[@SideBurn12]

This is just awesome, on several levels 🏴‍☠️❤️

[@skelkankaos]

Hiding your dial-a-pirate answer from us? Damn, now I I'll never be able to play my copied version of the game!

[@ddrl46]

Yarr.

[@XycoTV]

1:53 for everyone who's wondering whats this is.. well.. its the copy protection! These days games came with a big manual. Normaly you had to open a certain page, line X, word X to pass.

[@gamezvideos2]

I actually knew that. Kinda interesting, but flawful (that's the only thing they got in those days).

[@themaritimegirl]

Neat demo. Just an FYI, your floppy drives (or at least your B: drive) need to be lubricated badly. If you open the computer up and look inside the drives, there are two metal rails that the heads slide back and forth on. Smearing some lithium grease on those will get rid of the loud grinding noise the drives make.

[@joukenienhuis6888]

As I can remember from this computer, it always had this sound. My father donated his computer (at that time one of the first portable computers) to a museum. I do still have the floppys, but never had monkey island on floppy. I was at that time to young to open up that computer. I tried later on to add a graphical card, but this case computer is very hard to open.

[@bitchlasagna4720]

those are the stepper motors

[@everythingpony]

I still would lube it up a bit

[@sashusilver]

What a time... I love the sound of the keyboard.

[@dimostychalas9716]

The chernobyl disaster colourized

[@axelbartmoss8045]

That's what one can call a loading time.

[@lucius1976]

Every Time i hear that tune i am 14 again.

[@ninjagamer1359]

This is a technology foreign to my experience. Mind-blowing people actually used this type of thing to accomplish anything lol

[@THEREALCAPTAINDREAD]

That was well worth the loading time

[@iliketobathify]

I'm amazed it actually fires up on a 4MHz cpu... is it playable aswell?

[@ddrl46]

Barely but yes, near the end of the video you can see how slow it's running.

[@RWL2012]

@@ddrl46 1.5 fps lol

[@SilverBullet93GT]

@@ddrl46 now try it on a TI calculator lol

[@tomkay85]

If brought some time :-)

[@zivkdusan]

Played it on 286/20mhz with 1mb ram, 40mb hard disk and Hercules graphic card.

[@poskeegget8043]

Now that is awesome. . . also, now I miss my fathers old black/orange computer. . . so powerful. 30 mb hardisc and everything.

[@danielkamers5440]

Miss this so much hahhaa when computer did what they were programed for... S2

i want one of these so bad! to use and just to have i mean idk what it is about old computers but their intriquing

Duuuuuuude.. thank you for sharing this, love u

[@PTsR]

Try to run Zak McKracken on it, if you still have it

[@TheBFG78]

Wow. I had an XT too but I only had a Hercules card so I couldn't play these games. I had to wait for dad to splurge a hell of a lot of money on a 486 DX-33 years later. I didn't realise this would run on an XT if you had the right graphics card.

[@lukystreik]

very great. thanks for sharing. love my old IBM portable too

Lol did you have the actual code wheel for the copy protection rather than a cracked copy? Well played!

Glorious 1 frame per second.

I would play a new monkey island game like that.
