Hey, lucky owners of an Adlib Gold, what about sharing things to do?
Of course Adlib Gold screams "Dune" to almost anyone. And I just checked a major item of my bucket list: completing the game on my 486DX33, CRT and GoldLib. It was absolutely glorious. I played quite a lot of it when I was younger, with SB sound obviously, but never completed it. It is now done 😀 great game, and what an amazing soundtrack, the incredible Gold sound makes it so special. Huge thanks to Keropi and Marmes for making it possible!
With that done, would anyone have suggestions about other cool things to try? That's something I've discussed in private with Keropi, and it seems that while other games support it as an audio device (there are several lists online such as here, also here and there, but not sure about their reliability) it seems like no other game than Dune really went beyond simple support and really took advantage of its capacities.
I tried Sim City 2000, a game I love, but I wasn't really impressed. And let's be honest, while some tunes are iconic, I never really enjoyed the game's soundtrack that much.
The only thing I regularly do with the card is listen to mods, as the particular texture and filtering is quite pleasant.
Any other games that stand out? Demos? Programs of any kind?
