There's not a lot of CPU time available to micromanage the audio channels due to how the video hardware works, and the VCS has some significant limitations in what frequencies are available. But check out Pitfall II for a retail game with some fairly impressive sound. Admittedly, it is using a coprocessor to belch out sound commands faster than the system's CPU can.
@@CptJistuce Ah yes, Pitfall II was one of my favorite games and I noticed that it had a superior sound experience. I think with that game they already figured out to use the limited hardware capabilities in the most efficient way. I was really big for an Atari game. Oh, so the cartridge contained the co-processrór?
NAH THIS COVER RIGHT HERE IS A GOOD APPLE!! 🗣🗣
Wow, a rare gem recommended to me, not even 400 views, it should have more!
Wow, I like the sound. Didn't know the Atari 2600 could sound so great.

honestly i expected this to sound like microwaves but DAMN was i wrong!!
Nice cover
4 bit apple rahhh
Nope, 8 bits. The playfield graphics were being used, so that's why the graphics look chunky.
Sounds great!
What? How? 😳
does this fit on an 2600 cart?
Probably not but it may be possible using TIATune
Is it using the original 2600 waveforms and pitches? Should be doable with my video ROM.
It uses the waveforms but uses in-tune pitches (Which is doable with TIATune but I don't really wanna do that)@@fb39ca4
