Space Quest 3 opening music - Adlib vs Roland MT-32

About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery

1. The MT-32 just blew everything away at the time.
2. The MT-32 version is one of the best pieces of VGM ever. It's that good.
3. I got to know this game on a 1991 80386 SX 25Mhz with a pc speaker. Later when I had a 80586 133Mhz with a huge Sound Blaster 16 I got used to Adlib midi music which I still prefer in Dosbox.
4. Adlib sound more like an 8bit
5. Vet du om man MÅ ha Roland MT-32, eller lar det seg gjøre med en hvilken som helst Roland Keyboard også?
6. Definitely prefer the gritty Adlib sound over the Roland even though audibly the Roland sounds much better. It's the rawness, I think. Reminds me of this excellent bygone era. 
7. I'm used to Adlib than Roland MT-32.
   
   Thus, I like Adlib than Roland MT-32..
8. Ah, yes. Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe AKA Two Guys from Andromeda
9. Why does the Adlib always have a bunch of clipping in this song?
10. And at first when the AdLib started for me, I thought my PC had crashed because I'm getting frequent bluescreens and the sound buzzes like that when that happens.
11. Too bad I don't have an MT-32. How does a device like that work, by the way? I just have a CTK-4000 keyboard.
12. This is true from my experience which is odd seeing as the original Adlib and Soundblaster used the same FM syn chip (Yamaha's OPL2).
13. I remember downloading a utility from a Space Quest Fan Site, that enabled the Soundblaster to play the MT-32 music files, it was pretty awesome.
14. LAPC? It pwns even modern digital sound.
15. Are you actually using an AdLib card, or is this yet another of the places that is actually using a rubbish soundblaster emulator? It's strange how many places do this, as you need only listen to the differences between soundblasters to know that an AdLib sounds different to a soundblaster. Anyone who claims they sound the same - what do you mean by that? Which soundblaster does an AdLib sound like?
16. you have an lapc? lucky man.
17. Best video game music EVER!!
18. I remember having both on my computer. The second one definitely had a softer sound and was a little bit more pleasing to the ears. More than anything, I love them both and the music of the game period.
19. @laffer35 Oh No! sorry its been a lonnnng time haha! i still remember Tie Fighter with my SB16..now that was some awesome music! 
20. @generalzod4life Soundblaster 16 won't help you in any of these games, you'll still get adlib music.
