Then you had to have the right proprietary mix and match of parts to play games you wanted until... about DirectX 5 since the earlier ones were kinda brutal and crash-prone.
This often meant a Sound Blaster sound card and a 3dfx video card, otherwise your games like MechWarrior 2, Tomb Raider, or Carmageddon wouldn't be 3D accelerated at all, and you couldn't guarantee you'd have sound effects.

Now, let's talk about sound cards. Anyone remember the AdLib synthesizer on a card?
