To be fair you really have to compare the sid to the other computers and consoles at the time to see why it was so good. Compared to the vic-20, atari 8bit, apple II series , pc, trs-80, or any of the old games consoles like the old ataris or intellivision etc. it really blows them away.

The 1st dual sid setup came out in the mid-80's didn't it? It was on a cart I think. Commodore should have incorperated it into the 64c and c128. The Amiga could have done even more with dual sids too.
