I remember terrible times trying to get some Lucasarts and Origin games going in that era. You want a cdrom -and- a sound card? That’s crazy talk. No no don’t use sound blaster’s driver use ours and our crazy ass memory manager too. Oops no sound for you! You’re in Windows! Etc etc. Thank goodness for autoexec.bat and config.sys.

Getting Wing Commander to work with a sound card, and a joystick, and in conventional memory was my intro to a lifetime working with computers.
