the one that had me almost falling off my chair laughing was '<strong>This synth sounds very close to other popular synths like Moog, Arp, Roland, Korg all the big named stuff'.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">i've had a 76477 synth for years,
and it sounds absolutely nothing like those machines at all. it's a
nice blinkety blonk bleep bleep machine, but a real synth? ehm.. no. a
real big name<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>synth? ha ha ha! come on..</span><br>

Yeah 'Mame Arcade Games' got me a bit annoyed as well.<br>Especially considering I worked and repaired these<br>boards in my spare time waaaaay before MAME was a<br>glimmer in Nicola Salmori's eye.<br><br>Also . . .<br><br>
>If you're after the authentic vidoe(sic) game, 8 bit<br>Mame Space Invader sound . . .<br><br>Also totally incorrect. The Invaders sound board was<br>totally analog(ue) and therefore never had an '8-bit'<br>sound.<br>
