Since I've been tinkering with my Tool for Swicthing Scenarios (and other things) in the F-19 Stealth Fighter I though I would showcase the differences between PC Speaker/Tandy/Adlib/Roland sound and CGA/EGA/Tandy/VGA(MCGA) graphics.

I didn't included the Hercules version (you need to change machine type in dosbox.conf as with Tandy for it to work) because I think I will make entire video with full mission playthrough. Having only 2 colors in your game (you can even argue it's only 1 color and no color) and still make it work is pretty impressive, though it presents another challenge - being able to read the cockpit ;)

You can get this tool here (Steam guide):

though I didn't released the version showcased here with the secret sound selector ;)

Why it's secret? Well, because for the Roland and Tandy to work properly you need additional steps and it will not work out of the box.

It should work with any version - Steam / GOG / Retail running in DOSBox, it should even work on retro PCs too (haven't tested that though).
