A one-minute clip of the Warcraft II sound card test in setup, where the test sample plays and the voice says the sound card works perfectly.
Quoted as a nostalgic joke about DOS-era game setup.

Two memorable things - "Your sound card works perfectly!" ▶ this video - "I am a medieval man" link ( link ) It was great to play this game when it came out. And it has aged well too. Good gameplay, OST, graphics... never experienced a glitch or performance issue. The only worry was keeping the CD unscratched.
To me the most excellent British accent is the "your soundcard works perfectly" clip from Warcraft 2 audio configuration. [1] [1] ▶ this video
For those wanting to experience those days again (or for the first time?): ▶ this video Another one that springs to mind is from Constructor; "Hello this is constructor are you receiving?" with that very distinct British accent.
