What is the fascination?

I even have an old sampler for it-here is a vid of one of my c64's using a sample cart.

And you didn't need seperate hardware to do basic sampling... who else had this Bad Larry?

I remember the first time I heard that voice and the vroooom car sound, I was like "holy crap! how did they do that!?"...

Of course, when you got the coins together a few years later, you got to enjoy the same game on the high-end audio hardware...

Listen to that pristine sample! Good times...

I think I spent a full 8 hours staring at this one day when I was 10 or 11...

Just listen to that thing at 7:00!!! Crank it up!!

Love those days...

Accolade...

I remember that I've played this car racing games back in the 90s. I was impressed by the sound, but I never thought about making music with the AMIGA.

I always thought I'd need an arsenal of hardware synthesizers and I never will get them because I had not much money...

Retrospections...but gone away, now it's 2012...

I don't get the fascination with the SID chip on the C64. I had one about a hundred years ago, and I swear, never once did I hear it and think, "Wow, this sounds great. I am going to be listening to this in the next century." My thoughts were closer to, "I can't wait until someone makes a computer that doesn't sound like crap."

So, since this is best place I can think of to ask, what is the fascination with this?

Thanks.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and I STILL totally relate

I always loved that first song that played on the Swynth demo. That alone probably created my love of PWM pads.
