   I base my judgement in Robotron for the 7800.  Arcade perfect.  Nothing   
   on the NES sounded as good, IMO.  Xevious was also better sounding on   
   the 7800, and the 7800's SID was based on the 400/800's SID (maybe the   
   same SID, I'm not sure), and the sound range of those machines is better   
   than the NES's.   
      
   Now, i will grant you that programmers in later games worked within the   
   NES's confines better to make games sound as good as possible, but the   
   sound was still stilted.
