486DX 33 MHz DOS Retro Gaming PC Roland MT-32 Sound Canvas

The 486 is an awesome processor for building a DOS retro gaming PC. Often I see people build the "ultimate" 486, using PCI motherboards, 133 MHz AMD processors, maybe a Cyrix 5x86, ultra fast 60 ns memory and modifications for 512 KB Cache. With prices spiraling out of control I wanted to build an "average" 486. Now the prices thing went out the window because of all the Roland gear, but at least that is a one-off purchase :) Every project should have a focus, so for this one the theme are playing classic DOS adventure games from Maniac Mansion (PC Speaker), Last Crusade (Adlib) to Space Quest III (MT-32) all the way to high resolution games such as Larry 7 (General MIDI). The video shows what motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, sound card, MIDI modules I am using. I also explain how the mixer works, what speakers I use, the monitor and the old school serial mouse. I show how to setup the software, configuring the BIOS, installing MS-DOS 7.1, the Sound Blaster driver. The machine has a 500 MB hard drive capacity limit so I am using Ontrack software to get around this. At the end of the video you can see many classic adventure games run on this machine. The Roland music really brings them to life. 7:32 Sam & Max 8:15 Gabriel Nights 9:20 Police Quest 4 10:30 The Heart of China 11:22 Rise of the Dragon 12:20 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 12:52 Willy Beamish 13:56 Space Quest 3 14:55 Indiana Jones and Fate of Atlantis 16:07 Space Quest 4 17:22 Maniac Mansion 19:37 The Secret of Monkey Island 21:03 Monkey Island 2 23:03 Police Quest III 23:47 King's Quest 4 24:18 The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes 25:48 Simon the Sorcerer 27:28 Cruise for a Corpse 28:56 Operation Stealth 30:14 Future Wars 31:14 Star Trek 25th Anniversary 32:00 Day of the Tentacle 35:00 Loom 37:03 Space Quest 5 38:59 Gateway 40:40 Leisure Suit Larry 6 ♦Music♦ Production Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound: http://www.epidemicsound.com Support the Channel: PayPal Donation: https://www.paypal.me/PhilsComputerLab AliExpress Affiliate: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/b6c7Xgiy eBay Affiliate: https://goo.gl/W26CgB
