If so get your prostate checked.
This + Sound Recorder in Windows + the Reverse feature = hours(?) of fun.
There was a very simple space game on the computer (I think it came with windows, like hidden with other files or something?) that all the sound effects were just wav files.
For whatever reason, I used the microphone to record new sound effects but just sounds I could make like “pew” and literally saying the word “boom” and replacing all the files and playing it that way. Must’ve spent several hours on that project for sure.
I wanna say Windows 95? The game was barely a game, and I recall the graphics were especially primitive even for the time (think something you’d do in paint in like an hour total). Can’t remember what it was called though… Pretty sure it was just in a folder and I found it just randomly browsing files.
It was just looking out from the cockpit of a spaceship (think like that typical white dots flying by a black background) and using the mouse to shoot lasers at stuff that popped up (flying saucers maybe? Honestly can’t remember). I don’t even think there were levels or anything beyond that, can’t even remember if there was a score. There was no flying/controlling the ship either.
Not OP, but I’m going to take a guess that it was Hover
Oh I remember those, sound quality was horribly bad.
I had one of these from my first Creative SoundBlaster… i forget which model. But basically it worked so well I used it for 15+ years. I sounded better than most. Half of analog mics was just proper mic boost configuration, the other half was having a system that wasn’t rife with noise. It didn’t matter how good the mic or soundcard was if the mobo was noisy AF.
Ok, it the span of hours, c/nostalgia has posted my microphone and my pc controller. I’m starting to think they are just going though my shit.
If the next post is a Gateway 2000, I’m pressing charges.
