I love the sweet synth sounds of the NES! What I find fascinating about the sound generator in the NES is that it had no dynamic volume control, so they had to change the pitch and timbre to make things sound quieter or louder. So lvl1-1 of SMB and lvl 1-2 are actually the same loudness, but 1-2 sounds quieter based on the smooth bass tone.

We need a new rating for iPhone apps where we determine how high a rating it gets by the number of minutes the average person would use it in their lifetime. This appears to be a 15 minute app to me, which I would have to assume is a pretty good rating. For two bucks. If they made a Commodore 64 version based on the SID chip I would have to actually buy it. Nostalgia is a bitch.
