Title: I vote for a certain game to have it's attract sounds off, John! :P Post by: Otaku on December 16, 2014, 05:48:03 pm HEAR YE HEAR YE
I brought this up for conversation in the shoutbox / chatbox thing a few months ago and I never really did figure out which game it was as I think some people thought I was referring to Track & Field but I don't think it is. http://youtu.be/XkLottjw7Is?t=4s (4 seconds in / 0:04) The beeping for the "3, 2, 1, GO" sequence. I thought it was Outrun but that's at the other side of John's Arcade so I'm not sure. Anyways, I vote for it off. I've heard it in every video for as long as I've been watching and before that (watching older videos), and I think it's time for a switch-up in my opinion. :D I wonder what other games could have a neat affect or change on the ambiance that aren't currently set to on? This one just bugs me in particular, hehe. Thoughts? I'll obviously still enjoy the videos either way but I thought I'd start some discussion around here.

There's been a few times you hear it and he mentions that it may get annoying and talks about turning it off, but never does lol. I personally find it funny. Anytime I hear it in the background I wonder if he's going to point it out again.

Definitely seems racing-esque. :) :P Title: Re: I vote for a certain game to have it's attract sounds off, John! :P Post by: knaagi on December 17, 2014, 01:25:01 am Pole Position? Oops, yeah, something like that. Definitely seems racing-esque. :) :P Of course it´s the Pole Position signal for the start of the race. It´s iconic and an arcade ambience is incomplete without it.

I also love track and field's whistle. John has probably one of the best line ups of attracts in any collection.

I think I have tastefully turned some off, and others on, to the point where it is not too annoying. :) Title: Re: I vote for a certain game to have it's attract sounds off, John! :P Post by: iankellogg on December 17, 2014, 09:37:23 am DL's attract is too long. I never thought it would work out there anyways.

I miss the Black Knight attract the most though. Title: Re: I vote for a certain game to have it's attract sounds off, John! :P Post by: yocke on December 17, 2014, 06:17:05 pm Dragons Lair! Is my vote!!
Pole position and Tapper is a classic Johns Arcade stamp! Somehow I connect that sound with johns YouTube channel! |
