The POKEY was Atari's user input chip, It took the data from the Keyboard, joystick, or whatever the controls being used were. HOWEVER, It was ALSO the sound chip. It produced a very distincive sound, and the chip was used in The Atari 2600, their Atari 8-bit computer line, and their arcade games.

Actually, the best gaming experience comes from a highly upgraded computer.
