Xenon 2 Megablast - DOS version intro

[gus0650]

this version SUCKS compared to the Amiga version.

[rallyeluke]

@gus0650 bearing in mind that all this sound is coming out of the internal beeper it is fucking incredible..

[NoSpeechForTheDumb]

Thanks for the quick correction. Perfect video now! :)

[Sakuukuli]

@NoSpeechForTheDumb Oh you stalker :D

[NoSpeechForTheDumb]

Since MS-DOS was built for the x86 microprocessor architecture, a 16 bit platform, the title of this video is wrong. I don't understand why people always associate awkward music with 8 bit systems.

Pc speaker for the win!!! :D This was the first computer game i ever played... i was 9 and just got a 286 IBM PS/1

[dgilaaa]

@ZycaLaser I played thin on a 8086 IBMPS/2. It had a MCGA (VGA) but for some reason it used black and white CGA graphics LOL.

This is how I originally heard the song and like it way better than any other version. And no, there's no lag, there was no lag back then because we had real programmers.

[jimee777]

The amiga version music sounds sacrilege compared to this. Hehehe! :D This is how it should sound like!

[taukohurina]

That's the real speaker sound. It just has too much bass cause it's not coming out of the ibm speaker system.

Xenox 2, forever <3

[sabakumike]

Cool aint heard this in years, what a great game this was, great old DOS music, certainly no lag here brilliant :)

[GeneralJesh]

Jesus the Amiga version is 100x better, well it was excepted

[mizziodj]

@GeneralJesh What do you think? Maybe that's because PCs DIDN'T have a sound chip, just a buzzer...

[t1nUK1]

How the frig did PCs ever take off?!

[crispen1151]

This is by far the best version of the intro ever.

[LazyFatDude]

At first I couldn't make any sense out of it, then it got better.

[jUGEsTEWPIT]

kewl song

[zubix1]

Hahaha:D Cool song tho ^^

8-bit ftw!

[MrXarlable]

Sound like it's lagging, but the proper music is like that, right? It's a good song imo.

[Sakuukuli]

@MrXarlable Could be lagging. My computer doesn't really have a good CPU :/

[CounterNerd]

@Sakuukuli

I feel for ya,man,my computer doesn't have a good cpu either lol...

[McPfoot]

@Sakuukuli HAHA, you shittin me?

[AlonTavor]

@McPfoot DOSBox is an emulator, it requires a pretty good CPU actually.

[paulusrantala]

@Sakuukuli what lag???

thats 8 bit as it should be :D

[stopperzapper]

@Sakuukuli That's the proper music from what I remember. DAANG it's been ages since I fired that game up. Hard as nails!

[alfonz1986]

@MrXarlable Nah its absolutely perfect. Supposed to sound like that on primitive DOS from internal speaker. I grew up listening to this shit :-D

If u wanna hear the excellent original 'club/dance' version, youtube search 'John Carpenter - The End'

he's the original composer of the rif from assault on precinct 13 (1976) =)

[rallyeluke]

@MrXarlable this is exactly how it sounded on my ibm 286 12mhz 640kb ram back in 1989.
