Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

lol,I don't agree with you the MSX basic was way better than the C64  
crap basic,I agree the SID chip was way better than any other sound  
chip put into a computer of that era or probably of any era,hence that  
little synth and virtual,weirdly enough the Atari ST can do a great  
SID emulation.I agree with you about Maplin they certainly are not  
what they used to be,f""king expensive to...
Have you got an Amiga by any chance?
