MOS Technology 6581

So there is the very early computer beeps and things that, that a computer can generate inside, like an old-fashioned PC, and then this sort of new generation.

And I just want to interject that it's very interesting because the music style that was invented on the Commodore 64 is now referred to as SID music or chip music or SID tune.

Now, that has become a whole music style.

SID is S-I-D because the Commodore 64 had a SID chip inside of it.

That was-

Oh

So who wins? The Amiga gets it for me on the samples and the weight of that title tune.

The 64 is a close second with a cracking SID arrangement, and the Spectrum one two eight is the nice surprise in third.

Amstrad Action only giving the Amstrad sound sixty-seven tells you that machine drew the short straw on this one.

Looks and speed next.

From me, the Amiga, uh, version gets a nine.

It's the film in a box, the music slaps, and that pack made it feel essential.

I'm going nine as well, Lee, but I'll give it to the sixty-four gold medal version because that SID title still makes me grin, and you didn't need eleven hundred pounds of Amiga to enjoy it.

The Spectrum one two eight gets an eight from me, and Sinclair user were being a bit mean at seventy-six.

And it'll tell me what wrong with it.

And it told me what wrong with it was this SID chip, which is the sound chip, right? Mm-hmm.

It's the sound chip.

My lights are all over the

This is, yeah, this is a great chip unless it's not.

And this one's dead.

So I had an arm SID, a replacement SID right here.

And so I put it in this machine.
