Few things bring me as much joy as listening to C64 music, paired with an excellent oscilloscope visualization. Having to make more with less (3 channels, 1 MHz processor, etc.) translated into soundtracks that had to be evocative, and that created the world these games lived in. One of the more magical aspects of these games is their soundtrack, which I see as their soul, and the life-force that caused these games to come to life in the player's imagination. Thanks Rolf for these great visualizations!
