Avram Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 http://web.utanet.at/nkehrer/index.html The above link was posted on www.fark.com and is a website with several online emulators of old NES and arcade games, including lots of old Atari arcade titles. Surprised to see that Atari's coin-op of Tetris used two Pokey chips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Lots of Atari arcade games used POKEY for sound. Heck, Star Wars used four of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avram Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 Do you know of an online list of arcade games that use the POKEY chip? I just remembered Gauntlet used one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiliteZoner Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 That's funny. I didn't realize they had pokey's in the arcade machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Pretty much every in-house Atari arcade game from the 80s used one or more POKEYs for sound. When you fire up a game in MAME, it tells you what chips are being emulated. POKEY is included in this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
