Feeling nostalgic? Enter jsSID

jsSID is a javascript-only implementation of the SID chip, used in the Commodore 64 to play music and sound effects. Hearing music from the SID gives me an immediate sense of recognition and nostalgia, so it's been fun checking out how close javascript and the new Web Audio API can get to emulating that classic sound. It's not 100%, but it's a great approximation.

You should be able to easily Google for the SID files for your old favourite games (or if you want to go nuts, check out the massive High Voltage SID collection), which can be played directly on the jsSID project page.
