Games Retrospect Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 For the longest time I refused to have a smartphone (I'm weird like that, don't ask.) I got one for free a while ago and I'm looking for some ideas for video game sound effects or songs to use as a ringtone, alarm and message sounds. Any ideas? There have to be thousands of obscure or older games I'm completely forgetting about and I'd like to have something that stands out to me personally so I'm open to anything video game related. It's easy to just add effects from Sonic, Mario or Metal Gear Solid as everyone on the internet suggests, but I want to hear other ideas. Thanks!

Skippy B. Coyote Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If you want some really top notch and memorable video game voice clips, I ripped a selection of my favorite audio snippets from The House of the Dead 2. HotD2Sounds.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I avoided smart phones for a long time too, just didn't see it as necessary. Since most fools seem to stick to the default apple, tmobile, etc ringer, email, text sounds I won't. For texts I have the neo-geo arcade quarter insert jingle, and for email I have a small quote from my pinball machine as no one has either and likely wouldn't. It's very helpful not being in a pile of simple types all whipping their phones out at the same time to see who is a winner. The ringer I have raiders march for general call ins, specialized for a few others like I have the imperial march for some, wife gets the old school final fantasy crystal(title) theme.

FireStar Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I find the Earthbound Zero/Beginnings equip sound to be a really good notification sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepthaw Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I'm not a huge Metal Gear fan, but it never fails to put a smile on my face when somebody has the noise guards make when they notice you as an alert on their phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRTGAMER Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I'm not a huge Metal Gear fan, but it never fails to put a smile on my face when somebody has the noise guards make when they notice you as an alert on their phone. I have that for message alerts and the Metal Gear ringtone as my phone ringer for the nostalgia. Back in the day everyone had it which threw off whose phone rang; today not near as common.

Flojomojo Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Not a game, but I had this old song as my ringtone for a long time and later, this (1980s related, kinda) now, mostly muted vibrations and default noises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slab0meat Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 A friend had the Crackdown sound (when you grab an orb) as his text message notification years ago. I liked that. I had the intro of Static-X's "Cannibal" as my ring tone several phones ago.. that scared some people. That Metal Gear sound is great.

TDIRunner Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Just about every sound my phone makes is video game related. I use the SNES start up coin chime as my text notification. I use the sound from hitting the mid level check point in Super Mario World as my email notification. I use the Metal Gear Solid codec sound as my reminder notification. I use the Sega CD start up music as my ring tone for my wife. I use the Kass theme from Breath of the Wild as my ring tone for all other callers. I want to use the PlayStation startup sound as the start up sound for when I reboot my phone, but I'm pretty sure I would need to jail break it to change that sound.

Gamemoose Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Mine is Mario themed -ringtone is the "Time's running out" theme from Super Mario Bros. The Game and Watch version of the game had that as an alarm which woke me up, so I knew I wouldn't miss a call. -texts are the coin sound -personal email sound-1 up -work email sound-power up Only thing I don't have "Mario'd" is my alarm.
