If a company could recreate the SID (as the original chips are getting a bit hard to find) and slap it into a C64/MIDI SID box, that would be killer! Sure SIDstations are nice, but they don't play C64 games. Atari computer (with old-skool Cubase!) remakes would be sweet as well. NESs are easy to find, and really didn't need to be remade. I would have been more interested in rarer systems like the above or something like the Sega Master system (Space Harrier baby, yea!) ATA That’s what us Lo-Fi heads REALLY want in a neo-vintage box.
