SID? AY? Bah! Having only ever owned a 48k all my life, my vote goes to the beeper (or the z80 chip if you insist). Some lovely stuff in there as well (like Heartland for eg) which would be stupid to ignore or dismiss. ;) -

[QUOTE=merman;293535]That's funny, because everyone on the C64 forums is saying that Olympics tune sounds like SID. And I bet the Nintendo forums are saying it's their sound too. :D[/QUOTE]

True. It's not the worst game I've played either... As far as ninja games go, I'd rather play this than [I]Kai Temple[/I], for example. -
