What's your favorite videogame sound effect?

[lushgirl_80]

I know there's some threads about what's your favorite music but what about sounds?

 

 

 

My favorites are...

 

 

-Chun-Li's laugh "Hahahah! Ya Ta!!!"

-The burp sound effect in Fast Food "Burp!"

-The sound when Mario touches a mushroom or fire flower

-The sound in Pacman 2600 when the round starts

-The sound when ET runs fast

-The pause sound effect in Legendary Wings

-All the voices in Berzerk for 5200

the *ping ping* sound of regular bullets against metal in nes contra.

[STICH666]

Galaga dive bomb.

[gameguider]

The sound Jumpman makes when he walks in Donkey Kong... that's pretty rad.

[WilsonCat]

The "warp in" sound in Joust is my favorite.

 

I also love most of the sounds in Williams games: Defender, Stargate, Robotron, Sinistar....

[Kripto]

The board switching sound from Robotron and the death sound from arcade Millipede, both of which are seemingly designed to induce a heart attack.

Yes indeed, those classic Williams games always had great sound effects. If I put a lot of thought into this I could probably think of a lot of cool sounds I really like in various games. Off the top of my head I can think of:

 

Outlaw (2600) The sound when you get shot and subsequently knocked on your rump.

Mappy (Arcade) The microwave effect when you open those special doors.

Asteroids (Arcade) The sounds when the ships cannon is fired.

Killer Bees (O2) The weird vocalizations emitted by The Voice before each round. "More, more, more (?) BZZZZZ BZZZZ!

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (INTV) The sounds of the dragon slumbering.

[VectorGamer]

A lot of them...all these pertain to the arcade version and not home ports:

 

- the Mario death in Donkey Kong

- Pac-Man eating the ghost

- the constant background sound in Galaxian (probably my favorite)

- the descending saucer sound in Astro Invader

- the bullet and next screen sounds in Robotron

- the fire and next stage sounds in Tempest

- all the sounds in Asteroids

- Mr. Do! collecting cherries

- bullets in Space Invaders

The death sound in Pac Man arcade.

The sound after jumpman jumps a barrel in Donkey Kong.

The high score sound on Battlezone.

[potatohead]

The sound when you hit a bomber in DEFENDER.

I have never played Sinistar but i really want to. It looks really cool.

I have never played Sinistar but i really want to. It looks really cool.

 

The best part about it is how easy it is to to just relax and play a nice, calming game of it.

In the original Sonic the Hedgehog, the sound when sonic gets a ring. One of my all time favorte games, but it may have the best sound (effects and music) of any classic game.

Q*Bert

 

The quarter dropping in noise.

Q*Bert swearing noise.

 

The aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh when you fall of the edge

 

Everything.

 

Should win the oscar for best sound in a video game EVER!

[Sgt.Pepper1983]

The sound it makes when you get killed in Berzerk on the 2600.

[MagitekAngel]

I'm going to have to agree with Q*Bert. Those effects were innovative and hilarious.

[Impaler_26]

- The shooting sound in Defender (2600)

- The Voice samples in Berzerk (Arcade): "Chicken, fight like a robot!"

- The "death sound" in Dodge It (Channel F)

- The swearing sound in Q*Bert (Arcade)

[Pixelboy]

My favorite sound effect has to be the sound that Mega Man (on NES) makes when he lands from a jump. Tidit! Tidit!

I love it when you shoot the robots in Xybots (arcade) and they make that "Bi-bi-bi-bi" noise before they explode.

[kroogur]

The pick-up/drop noises from Adventure (2600)

The footsteps from Haunted House (2600)

The Tarzan yell in Pitfall (2600)

[+atari2600land]

I love the noises Yoshi makes, especially the newer ones where he says his name: "Yoshi!" "Askfjsfhsghoo!" And the yell of anguish Toad makes when he gets hit in Mario Kart 64.

Enemies exploding in Galaga.

 

When you hit an enemy in Tron Deadly Discs

The announcer's comments in Monster Truck Madness for N64

[ProperRogue]

Easily , every sound in the arcade game Qix , and 2nd would be arcade Reactor.

 

Then , just close my eyes and listen to Gyruss!
