Voks du opp på 80-talet, i den spede starten med heimedatamaskiner, har du nok stifta bekjentskap med Commodore 64.

Eg minnes mangt eit spel frå den tida. I motsetning til første versjon av ZX Spectrum, hadde Commodore 64 ein skikkeleg lydchip: Sound Interface Device forkorta til SID.

Etter nokre år dukka det opp fleire «trollmenn» som kunne få mykje ut av SID. Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway og Ben Daglish er dei eg framleis hugsar, men det var mange fleire. Spela inneholdt kunne innehalde ein eller fleire melodiar, men det var også musikk når spelet lasta inn frå (lyd)kassett. Saman med ein illustrasjon var det grei underhaldning dei vel 5 minutta du venta på at spelet skulle starta.

På YouTube finn du The Epic Commodore C64 SID Collection med 10 timar og 40 minutt musikk frå SID. Det fins ei tilhøyrande nettside der du mellom anna kan laste ned alle spora som MP3.

Under finn du lenkene til melodiane. Eit par gode eksempel er 03:57:41 Monty on the Run av Rob Hubbard eller 09:23:48 Rambo: First Blood Part II av Martin Galway, men du finn nok dine favorittar, om du tek deg tid…
