   That's pretty impressive when you consider that those two are NOT the   
   games that had an extra sound chip. They both used the sound hardware   
   from the original Atari 2600.   
      
   I would consider that to be more due to dedication on the part of   
   whoever programmed the sound, rather than anything inherent in the sound   
   hardware.
