If your canadian this is a great retro gaming card
(no its not my auction)
Gravis Ultrasound card on ebay
The only thin special about it is that it does a decent mt-32 emulation, has decent wavetable set used by alot of early games and alot of demo's and the digital effects are great for its time.
If your playing your games in emulation mode or dont really care about how the sound and music was supposed to sound in the game then move along, nothing to see here.

Whoa, yeah Johpower!. Some games were designed to take advantage of the Gravis Ultrasound sound card. Also, some game companies promoted the Gravis (try Zone 66's help file, page 11 of 10).
Strangely enough, I never heard of anyone I know actually owning or using one. The Gravis Ultrasound was HYPE HYPE HYPE throughout the 90s!!! I s'pose it was a cool sound card.
As for the Gravis joystick, I guess it just happened to be two unrelated products from the same company.

The ultrasound had maybe 2-3 great years where people wrote drivers for it in their games. Doom has nice ultrasound support. For general midi the ultrasound was pretty good, so good that most demo's from sceeners used it as soundcards of choice. What killed it off was cdrom based games thats used digital audio for music.. nobody uses midi for games anymore.
