The Creative Music System CT-1300 (C/MS CT-1300) was a conglomeration of off-the-shelf parts in a configuration commonly used by hobbyists and publicly available in many electronic magazines, except for one custom DSP chip; the CT 1302A CTPL 8708 (Creative Technology Programmable Logic) which the instruction manual casually mentions can be used by software to automatically detect sound card capabilities and could be used by games.

Due to being compatible with the Sierra Creative Interpreter the card was popular enough to rebranded as "Game Blaster" and sold bundled with a special edition of Silpheed.

Creative put their chip in a new configuration of sound hardware, added Adlib emulation, and a gameport. This was the original 8-bit Sound Blaster 1.0
