Ha! After a 22 min load, lol!

yeah it's true nothing had this sound

Same here and occasionally still do!!

Colin Armstrong There is no equivalent

My kids will probably remember Roblox and Tik Tok dances.

@@MrAsrgr Lol. That is so true. I think we just had the experience no one else will ever have. Growing through the age of computers advancing. I know they do today, but there is nothing left to the imagination today.

Oh, this is hard to tell...Atari had more sharp sound..just that....hearing both I stay with c64.

It's a decent copy but the c64 version still wins for me

I'd have to agree. I wouldn't say it's as clear cut for all pieces but I like in particular how snappy the pokey is. The C64 can sing of course as evidenced in Sanxion which doesn't sound entirely great on Atari other than it's excellent bass. A combination of that tight bass from the Atari and lead from C64 would be a great of course. Some stuff I wane of when it comes to a coarseness of certain C64 soundtracks but the Atari is similarly limited and sometimes grates in a different way. I was C64 guy but secretly wanted an Atari back then

Adam I like your work on Draconus and ninja commander

I love both sounds chips. The only "issue" I have with the Sid chip is that it was a synthesizer chip. The sounds/voices produced by it were ordinary . That end result was great though. The Pokey chip had a more "electronic metal". Now about the creators, Richard Munns was amazing in "creating" the best voices/organs on the pokey chip and Rob gave us amazing tunes by working on the Sid chip.

It's a version of Sanxion

Read about the long hours culture and limited time the C64 was developed in. It's amazing anything worked. The SID was never meant to be a three voice chip, what it ended up being was a last minute salvage of what worked. If it worked as Bob Yannes intended it would have been capable of 32 voices.

@@6581punk yeah it could of been so much more, even the atari had tech they never released like the speech synthesis and advanced sound chips. I never understood why the c64 wasn't given a better colour pallette too. Still love what we have tho!

@@tharkthax3960 money....

TEZZATARI author of excellent colourful hires Manic Miner wants to make proper Jet Set Willy version also, so we hould keep our fingers crossed.

The percussive bits usually sound better on the Atari, C64 has nice saws, sines and filtering but atari has more clarity. I like both the same but different.

@@NickSBailey yeah I've grown quite fond of the crisp punch from Atari. The extra channel too can only be seen as a plus. Both have advantages as you say. I must confess to finding C64 music a little rough on the ears these days for some stuff. The very best tends to still sound excellent thanks to the tunes themselves of course It's great we can enter back into these fine times at any point and relive these moments
