Like those:

Any clues how to produce them?

 

Im talking about the music in the games. The sounds are so awsome, yet I know nothing of how they are produced. What keyboards back then could make those sounds? What keyboards today can make those sounds?

 

There is a synth solo of a "Video game lead" in Number One by Chaz Jankel (from the 1985 movie Real Genious)

Use any analogue synthesizer and record it in a 10kHz, 8 bit sampling mode.

 

You can also use modern equipment. Alesis has some devices for reducing recording quality into a vintage sound: the Bitrman & Fidelity.

If you're using Reason, there's a free Refill of Commodore64 sounds. (IIRC, that's what the SidStation is). I'm pretty sure it's posted on Propellerheads' web site. There are a lot of samples out there of sounds from video games, often they're in special FX collections, so a Google search will get you there, thouch you'll have to do some sifting.
