POHD-CAHST!Series 3: Episode 3 - Sega Master System [TI SN76489; 3ch square + 1ch noise mono] + [YM2413; 9ch FM / 6ch FM + 5ch noise mono]Finally, I can release the Master System episode!
Released in the mid-80s, the Sega Master System was a modest failure in Japan and the US, yet managed to last a decent nine years in Europe - all because of the right software, the right distribution method and the lack of a Nintendo monopoly in video game technology. The soundchip used was a modest 3-channel chip, with Japan using an additional chip to create the best music, but I'll still try and please you all with the best all three countries had to offer.

Christmas Special [1959-2009]This Master System episode is taking far too long to produce >.< So, as some form of compensation, I am going to offer you an episode connected to Christmas. This is something that I've been meaning to do for some time. Christmas is well known in Video Game Land, and there have been plenty of quick cash-ins to take advantage of a game that you'd pay full-price for, but never play 11 months out of 12.
Spanning 50 years of chipmusic, I hope to offer some nice music to set up your festives.

With time, they'd learn the BASIC programming language, then get into Assembler, and then the whole world became better bedroom programmers. The adults would hook up to the bulletin boards and business servers, doing real-time sharedealing, budgeting and running the world using acoustic coupler equipment. Then the Commodore 64 came along a year later, and the VIC 20 was obsolete, with Quantum Link was the replacement for the working...2010-04-2631 minPOHD-CAHST!Series 3: Episode 1 - Halloween Special [Atari VCS to PlayStation 2]Milky EikoSplatterhouse 3 [Title]SMDTengenDragon's Fury [06]SMDAtariGhost ManorVCSPaul NormanBeyond Forbidden Forest [Title]C64Paul NormanForbidden Forest [Exploration]C64Richard JosephCauldron II [Title]ZXPocket StudiosAlone in the Dark: The New Nightmare [Title]GBCH.

I take you through a brief tour, starting with the keyboard-bashing antics of the Apple ][, past the broken joysticks of the 8-bit computers, to the official IOC games for the consoles of the day.

The Commodore 16 was supposed to be the successor to the VIC 20, but with the lack of a SID chip at a time when the C64 gained its fanbase, this computer was just left in the dark and died a quick death. The same for the Commodore Plus/4, which was meant to be the successor to the C64, but its only improvement was the wider colour palette.

However, since off-the-shelf components were used to lower the price of the unit, the audio capabilities were significantly weaker than the opposing Amiga - it took almost five years for the ST to recover, into which it was far too late.

With its custom graphics and sound chips, the opposition seemed to pale as the MOD file became the successor to the SID chip from its former counterpart. However, it was only until the Amiga 500 a couple of years later, did people rush out and grab this opportunity.
