Does anyone else remember the pc speaker? I feel like it's a concept lost to time, I only remember from playing the original Maniac Mansion, which I played by clicking "use" on Weird Ed Edison's computer in the sequel.

Imagine this music coming from the actual motherboard, rather than from speakers. Like a friendlier version of how a dialup modem would make noises that were not coming out of speakers.

Sound Blaster cards had a game port, but the Game Blaster didn't?
