I'm going to make everyone older than 25 cry. Sorry, it needs to be done. The thread this comes from is locked, but someone actually said this, I'm not kidding (unfortunately):

Tragic. Gone are the days of coding text adventures and ASCII games in BASICA while your dad did his tax stuff on Lotus 123 and Visi-calc in the next room. Gone are the days of classics like the Sierra "Quest" games. Once I heard the Beastie Boys on a classic rock station, I knew the end was neigh

Know what DBP 067 needs Lee? The "sound" command from BASICA... or was it "beep" or "music" or something? I can't remember, it's been something like twenty years since I've used Basica, but it was the command that made the music, the hard way. I think the parameters were pitch and tempo. Back when there was a single speaker in the PC's case, and that was the only source of music. I still remember setting up randomized pitch and tempo and running it for a full hour just to tick off my kid sister, lol. Mmm, memories.
