Most Annoying Attract Mode-My Vote

[Broodwich]

Daytona USA could always be heard over every other game in the cade. hands down winner.

 

[AtariShag]

House of the Dead 4

Super Street Fighter IV

Must be something with that 4...

 

[trickman]

Heavy Barrel is at the top of my list right now. "Bap, Uh, Bap Bap, Uh... ONE... Bap, Bap, Uh." Annoying as all get-out.

Hahaha, you described the SFX perfectly.

 

[PhoenixStar]

These 2 games (which I own)

Altered Beast: (the part where they show Stage 2 Altered Dragons doing endless "zapping")

Final Fight: The point when the phone keeps ringing and then you hear the chick repeatedly yelling whaaaaa whoooo whaaaaa hoooooo waaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

 

[nocashvalue]

I'll add AREA 51 to the list. "STAY LOW!" gets really, really old.

 

[GuidoTorpedo]

"doot-do, doot-do, doot-do, doot-do, doot-do doo!"
"dayyy-tooo-na-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh! Let's go away!"

Did Any of you work in Arcades or just play the games there.
If you worked there like I did at Circus Pizza (Now Chucky Cheese) All the dam sounds ran together. But there were a few that drove me nuts. I would go home at night and these tunes would go on and on in my head.
The worst were
Daytona USA, Wheel of Furtune, Rockin Bowl, Adams Family, Safecracker and Double Cheese. Seems like most of them were redemption games but all still annoying.
Even through the noise it was still to this day the best job I ever had.
Got to love the games!

"You've got to spiiiin to wiiiiiin!" That's the only one that comes to mind from BitD.

P-47 Freedom Fighter. I don't know what the Jaleco titles of the time were like, but the attract mode consists of the title screen being machine-gunned into existence, then it switches to gameplay demo with all sound and music. Gameplay lasts about 30 seconds, then back to the title machine-gunned into existence. Blech. Some day I'll get rid of that stupid game.

Also the Konami stuff. How many times can you hear the TMNT theme without killing somebody?

 

[03spirit]

It would have to be Rally X

I still remember every arcade i went to had one. They were always turned up louder than everything else.

Mark..

 

[justbriand]

Has anyone said Robocop yet? That thing won't shut the fuck up

 

[GaryMcT]

Pooyans's attract sounds would be great if it weren't for the drum banging when the wolves are about to drop a rock on your head. Had to turn it off.

on the punchout set to free play. I wanted to get rid of the one at my house just because of it. I now leave the game unplugged at all times unless someone wants to play it.

Konami Aliens drives me nuts. And the music in attract mode for replay on Punch Out.

 

[Shawn1976]

+1 on the Aliens attract mode.
Hearing someone say aliens every minute or so is really annoying.

Konami Aliens drives me nuts. And the music in attract mode for replay on Punch Out.

 

[MasterFygar]

Blazing Star for the Neo Geo is simultaneously the best and the worst. The anime-style intro movie with the amazing main theme is great, but then it starts talking Engrish in this really obnoxious high pitched voice going "BONAH! BONAH! POWAH UP! GAYYY! BONAH!""

(for reference

)

 

[RetroInjection]

Blazing Star on the Neo Geo:

"BONUS! BONUS! POWER UP!"

Edit: Good to see I'm not alone.
