Video Description

The Ad Lib Gold 1000 sound card from 1992 sells for crazy high prices. But why? Let's unbox one and see if it lives up to its legendary reputation by delving into its history, determining why it failed, and seeing how it actually performs on early 90s PC hardware. And of course, play Dune. 🎶 ● Thanks to Jim for lending me the card! https://youtube.com/TheOldskoolPC ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Download an archive of the drivers, software, and docs here: https://archive.org/details/adlib-gold-bundle ● Music courtesy of: http://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #Retro #Computers
