Jim Leonard | Trixter plays: Sopwith, on an original IBM PC @JimLeonard | Uploaded September 2015 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
The following is footage of Sopwith, created by BMB Compuscience in 1984. It is not a complete playthrough, but rather just enough gameplay to serve as a reference for how the game looks and feels on the original hardware.
This footage was recorded from an IBM PC (8088 CPU running at 4.77MHz) with a CGA card. The audio was tapped from the PC speaker and the video was recorded from the CGA composite output. The result was post-processed from 30i to 60p; all frames are intact. This video should be considered reference quality for this platform.
This game was originally designed for RGB displays only, so the composite output is not strictly as the developer intended.
