This is a bit off-topic but when we made games for the Commodore 64, we used to
play around with different random number generators a lot, and one lazy hack was
to use the white noise waveform generated by the SID sound chip, which basically
was an undocumented random number generator. Pretty mad, but it actually worked
:-)
