Tempest Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I seem to recall Robotron always being mega loud, especially with the bass. Zookeeper is another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syzygy1 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 My friend Koishi encountered a Space Fury machine with the volume up LOUD. When she played it, the alien commander's voice could be heard throughout the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nshollingsworth Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Dragon's lair's attract was always loud.

Jumpman1981 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The Simpsons Pinball Party and Baywatch can be quite loud, I actually went to an arcade that had both and 70% of the audio in the arcade came from those 2 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdownita Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I always thought that the particular frequencies and pitch reached by 1942 were especially aggravating. While playing the game I always felt someone was whistling straight through my brain .. it was hear splitting .... I still remember it with respect but not fondness.

Syzygy1 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Pole Position's "Boop... boop... boop... BEEEEEEEEP!" Track & Field's "BWAAAAAAAAAH!" (these first two are the loudest in John's Arcade) "...Featuring Hopping Harry and Jumping Jack!" "Huhuhuhehehehe!" (Rolling Thunder) "OH YOSHI!" (damn you, yuppicide! XD) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterburp Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Not sure if arcade games had volume settings back in the day, but I distinctly remember two games generally being super loud. One was Venture by Exidy. Somehow the "bass" (or at least lower) notes from the music really rang in my ears. The game was also frustrating as heck (the monsters run away from your shots) so even though I really wanted to like the game, the noise and butt-hard difficulty prevented that. Second game was Elevator Action. I could always hear the noise when the guy goes into a red door and returns with the file folder, even if I was playing a different game clear across the room. Oh, and the missing word in the Dragon's Lair script is "odyssey." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy the Atarian Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Anything Bandai Namco has done for the past 20 years can be unnecessarily loud. You can put the volume at 1-2 (out of 10 or something like that) and it will still overpower anything around it. Their attract modes can be really annoying too, as they tend to repeat in less than a minute. I could make the whole building shake if I turned the system (4.1ch with subwoofer) to 100% on my Dariusburst Another Chronicle...things shook at just 65%, but I didn't want to blow out any speakers.

Syzygy1 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 LMAO that's because they are Japanese video games... they shake up the whole room with "Gendai no watakushi-tachi wa hanbun no media desu!" ("We're half the media nowadays!") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Currently the loudest game you'll find is House of the Dead Scarlet Dawn. It's one of the very few games that allows users to adjust the volume (to a degree) with the "X-Treme Audio" button. It creates a reverberating and interesting effect that also increases the normal volume, doing it all in a way that the console game experience won't. Just don't be surprised if your ears ring a little after coming out of it: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
