Talking about classic gaming consoles, they have those little nifty "Sound Processors" like the MOS's Sound Integrated Device chip, General Instruments Microelectronics' (now Microchip Inc.) AY-3-8910 and Ricoh's one for the Famicom system.

Nowadays, I couldn't find these chips around anymore, not even clones or remakes of those things. These chips have simple three-oscillators, some pitch bending things inside and other analog circuitry inside.

I intend to physically make a "chiptune" outta it, but now I have to end up using an emulation, or program routines in a microcontroller to emulate the chip's function.
