Would this be possible on original hardware? Or did this require modern tools/emulators?

[@M0rinkashi]

@@themikep82 It is possible on real original hardware, it says it in the description.

[@MMSZoli]

@@themikep82 actually with dual SID and a REU (RAM upgrade) it could be possible, I think. One SID would do the music, the other sings with SAM. The rest is just the question of RAM, though on C64 is is slower to change between HIRES/MULTI pictures due to shared color RAM, while on Plus/4 it could be done very easily and fast just by changing few registers.

When you finally get to the boss level with 1hp and no continues and he blacks out the screen and it slowly reveals your dead master with angel wings looking down at you in disappointment for your vengeance. Not only is the boss fight unwinnable but you are racked with guilt for your choices up until then.

I know some music is created this way, especially for older games, I just Figured out what SAM was also after trying to find the voice from seeing some horror games and characters, and other than Vocaloid, I don't know how its done, but SAM has a beautiful voice for singing and I loved all of this, and it kept getting better to the end, this was amazing!

how I feel after writing "chip suey" instead of "chop suey":

[@KeithOlson]

S.A.M. is a perfect choice for this. When someone is completely overwhelmed with what they are going through, their emotions can absolutely flatline and they can act like unfeeling robots, even as they take that final step to end the pain, almost like they aren't even in control of their own bodies.

[@totes_an_alien]

You usually would think of a sad AI scenario with this which fits exeedingly well but i had this idea in my head about somebody who was destroyed in all but brain, and they can only 'speak' through AI using electrodes connected to their brain to an 8 bit machine and because of the situation of them just basically being a brain without a body, everyone left them because it was so horrifying, the only ones left were the scientists who are studying this new psychological preservation technique.

There were a lot of things to like about this. I am not old enough to have ever played a C64 but I am consistently amazed by the reuse of older programming systems and used to fall asleep to SOAD on full volume. I wish we didn't feel the need to upgrade all the time, lets learn how to do THIS well and then move on to the next thing, but I digress: My favorite part of this was the end title card, with Serj eating Chop Suey (presumably) and especially the "Reset, Options, Suicide" bit. Excellent execution.
