Arcade game sounds that you love and hate

You mean Mozart? Like a lot of arcade games, the makers just used a well known public domain classical song.
Oh absolutely!

Satan's Hollow used Ride of the Valkyries

Phoenix used Fur Elise and one other that everyone recognizes (but they can't name it)

Tetris used some great Russian classics including some Tchaikovsky and some folk hymns

Somebody used Toccata and Fugue in D Minor but which game? It was a space game IIRC.

Was Guantlet theme original to the game or is that another preexisting classical piece?
 
I hate the elephant sound on street fighter 2. Having a really small arcade space i hate all attract sounds.. Have all mine shut off..lol
Someone else said the fire fire fire from afterburner, man I love that game but that doesn't drive me nuts.

I love the sound a quarter moving through the coin mech and dropping into the bucket. I am in process of switching all mine back to take quarters..
Dropping quarters is part of the experience. I leave mine coin op

Toccata: Gyruss
Gauntlet: I believe both I and II games had original theme music
 
X-Men (1992) Colossus Mutant Power
NBA Jam coin insert
WWF Wrestlemania coin insert
 
Love the crackle of a crt tube charging up followed by a crisp game screen. A joy to behold.

Hate the buzz....zap....arcing sound of a chassis followed by dead silence. Theres going to be some work needed.
 
Agree with all of the Williams love.

Love: Crystal Castles and Gyruss soundtracks in particular so maybe music vs sounds?

Don't love: Death sound in Millipede (although I really like the game)
