This is a re-release of my BioForge review, I had to add some info, which wasn't in the original review.

Since Origin never released proper soundtrack, I've recorded all music into a single file using these three sound cards: Sound Blaster AWE32, Gravis Ultrasound P&P and Sound Canvas SC-D70.

I was lucky to be able to lay my hands on this very rare piece of hardware. But is it as good as everybody says it is? Let's find out.

First part of my Streets of Rage review series. It's the Streets of Rage 1, obviously. One of the best beat 'em up game series or perhaps the best.

I have bought these exceptional loudspeakers a couple of weeks ago and I want to share my experience with them.

Gravis Ultrasound Extreme is very rare and very famous for its ability to work in DOS games as a Sound Blaster Pro, without the need for typical Gravis emulators. Is it actually any good?

As the title suggests, it's a review of Yamaha CA-2000. This one is a Japanese model, the rest of the world's got CA-2010. Despite the different name, it's the same thing.

It's not perfect, no build is. But this one is pretty close, I reckon.

Not exactly a sound card, but it can play MIDI, so it fits in this series perfectly.

Tracklist:

00:04:44 - Doom - E1M1
00:05:04 - BioForge
00:05:24 - Doom II - Map 01

There have been 72 different Sound Blaster 16 models. I have only 9, but it didn't stop me from testing all of them in this part of my series. This video is bloody long, but most of it is because of FM test at the end. It took me about 14 days to record all the game music.

This is the tracklist:

00:13:02 - Alone In The Dark
00:15:18 - BioForge
00:17:33 - Doom - E1M1

Is Primax just a clone or can it offer something else? I put this Gravis UltraSound clone to the test. How does it compare to original Gravis card?
