The C64's "SID" sound chip is utterly insane. I had no idea how powerful it was because most games at the time didn't really know how to fully take advantage of it.
I realized fairly recently that a lot of 90s PC tracker files were actually mimicking the SID sound.
The guy who designed the chip went on to be one of the founders of Ensoniq.
Also, VLC can play .SID files natively, so if you find some online, you can enjoy them right on your machine. (trackers too)
