It seems to me that the GUS's SBOS software is not well documented these days. For instance, if you search for recordings of music played by SBOS you will not find any!

So here I am to remedy this with an hour long chunk of SBOS music from many popular games (Wolf 3d, Keen, Blake Stone, Jill, Major Stryker, etc.)

There were many different versions of SBOS, some of which were designed for specific cards (SBOS 3.82 and earlier for GF1 chipset Gus cards including GUS Max, MAXSBOS a special version of SBOS for Gus MAX, IWSBOS for GUS PNP with the interwave chipset) and they all sound very different from each other. In this case I used SBOS version 3.82 with a GUS Max.

I have made another video comparing the musical output of SBOS 3.82 and MAXSBOS, two different versions of SBOS. They sound quite different, and in my opinion, the later released MAXSBOS is not a worthwhile upgrade!
