When it comes to sound on 8 bit computers nothing beats the specific SID sound, the SID chip actually comes pretty close to being a real synthesizer. I must say I also like the sound the NES / Famicom produces. The MSX line and coleco sound very alike in my opinion. The MSX line got better sound with the FM-Sound cartridge which made it sound very much like the Sega Genesis/Megadrive and early PC sound cards.
