+Keiya Bachhuber Thank you for this awesome comment. :)

[@villainousthoughts]

I have all the time in the world for this reference.

[@krashd]

I remember in Monkey Island 2 entering the tunnel under the waterfall on one of the three "tri-island area" islands and the game asked for disks 10 and 11 for the first time and that freaked me out as I hadn't needed those disks before and I thought I was at the end of the game. Then when I got to the endgame much later, the showdown with LeChuck took place in identical-looking tunnels and I for the first time realised why big games had shit-loads of disk-swapping. You could either duplicate data across the disks and have a game with 20 disks and very little disk-swapping or you could have a game on 11 disks and have a single scene require three disk-swaps because many scenes would re-use data.

[@OMA2k]

@@krashd : You played MI2 on 11 floppies? Wow, and I thought playing MI1 on 4 floppies was inconvenient.

[@krashd]

@@OMA2k I think as games got bigger (1993-onwards) is when it became obvious that games either had to be hard disk installable or would come on a CD instead of floppies, but by that time the Amiga and Atari ST were dying and PC gaming was going to take over. in 1991/1992 a game on 8-12 disks was rare but by 1993 it became a common feature for games to have a handful of disks. I think the worst example was Rise of the Robots, a beat-em-up that came on 16 disks. Disk-swapping in that game was insane because every robot was on a different disk and every location/venue was on a different disk and so you spent two minutes worth of loading and swapping just for a 60 second fight. When I got my first PC in 1995 the change was incredible, games were 10 times larger but everything loaded in seconds because of the hard disk.

Whichever floppy drive is covering the baritone/bass spectrum - bad ass. You sir are a bad ass floppy drive.

[@Vedurin]

lukeholladay i love this one. there's a 40 fdd version of the pirates of the carribean, but it sucks. since it's just 4 arrays of 10 fdds playing 4 channels. this guy here put together some awesome creativity. the sound is actually amazing. the table is used greatly to amplify the sound and it compliments especially the both bass fdds. this is a piece of art ! btw both middle fdds on the right side do the bass

This is unbelievable. Even all the notes seem to be right. Crazy.

[@Galbrei]

I don't know what I was expecting when I opened this video, but this is pretty amazing!

[@weeruz]

I love you man! I was one of them that requested it and I screamed like a little JB fan when I saw the title. Was not let down either. Sounds awesome!

[@Flossy350]

I doubt anyone else in the universe has ever heard of the archaic floppy drive

[@607]

This is ridiculous! Amazing. My least favourite thing about using diskettes: the high risk of data getting corrupted. My second least favourite thing about using diskettes: the slow reading and writing speeds. My _favourite_ thing about using diskettes: the sounds that the drive makes when reading or writing. ;)

I was already listening to your awesome songs. And then... I found this. My favorite game theme of all time. And if you don't mind me saying so, I think it's your best so far. :D

[@20thDoxCentury]

Monkey island was the first game i played through and THIS IS SO EPIC!!!!

I find it crazy that this is arguably better audio quality than how many people played at release (PC speaker only).

[@SchmidtMueller]

Now it suddenly all makes sense! Thank you so much! I can die in peace now.

[@ElectronikHeart]

Actually I would have preferred my computer to do this with its floppy drive rather than playing the theme with the horrible PC Speaker I had xD (This game played the music with the buzzer if you don't have a soundblaster compatible sound card.)

[@Kipperlab]

XD I prefer Roland...that was like "Like a boss" XD

[@Dowlphin]

Funny thing is that with certain drivers, the PC speaker would have been able to play much better sound. It only sounded crappy because the system device wasn't supposed to be used for more advanced stuff (and maybe the driver would have eaten up CPU). I remember having tried it out back then and it sounded as good as sound card sound can from a single tiny membrane within a PC case.

[@Kipperlab]

Hmmm...Interesting POV

[@Atomic303]

Dᴏᴡʟᴘʜɪɴ Yes this driver feature was possibly used in the old DOS game "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1991) which could make realistic noises and speech samples through the PC speaker! :)

[@johncarcinogen]

Kipperlab no guitar freaks to get your roland/boss joke? sad

Seriously? He means the speaker inside your PC... the one that can only do beeps and boops, if you think that is better then you must be a shoe, Ben. A shoe I tell you!

[@PeTTs0n88]

With that said - with a really effective controller for the floppy drives (that can split the load in such a way that as little raw audio data as possible is lost, i.e. gets utilization to as close to 100% as possible without creating other issues) and floppy drives that are capable of producing an as precise sound wave as possible (and the controller can utilize this to create a clear composite sound wave) - it might be doable, would love to see (hear) it done, for sure. ^^

[@sadeva6532]

wow this is brilliant. :) I never cease to be amazed how this works. I still dunno HOW it is done, but the result is wicked!
