Topic on Template talk:Audio

This is a permanent link to the first version of this post. You can view later versions on the post history page.

This template is really not very well suited to classic DOS games.

For DOS games, I would like to see

- A list of sound cards for audio. So similar to "DOS video modes", perhaps something like "DOS audio options". - A list of Music (BGM) options (e.g. MIDI) if separately offered from the above. - If the game supports CD Audio

Early DOS games only had one audio option, be it PC Speaker, Tandy/PCJr, Adlib and such. Later generation games often had audio and music split, such that you could set the audio to your Sound Blaster, and your Music to your MT-32 or GM.

And obviously some games don't cleanly go into either category, for instance some Sierra games had a sound card menu where one of the options literally says something along the lines of "SB + MT-32".

Likewise some re-releases of games had the Music option removed and replaced with CD-Audio. For instance Monkey Island originally had MT-32 support, but the re-released CD version replaced that replaced with CD-Audio.
