for a long time i only had tandy computers and the games i played all had great sound. then i got interested in programming so basically until my first hand-made pc (an amd k6-2) i had no sound whatsoever (and not much multitasking to speak of either). i didn't realize until i started messing with DOS games in OS/2 that a lot of PC user's sound experience (without an adlib or sound blaster) was so bad.. i suppose everyone who was stuck with second hand 286/386 type systems.. the sound blaster went to the previous owner's new computer ;)
