[Vexorg]

Favorite pinball sound effect: Probably the suipercharger on The Getaway. That table just has excellent sound design all around.
Others that come to mind:
- Multiball start on Twilight Zone, and the subsequent jackpot collect
- All the corny one-liners in Attack from Mars and Medieval Madness
- The replay knocker (of course)

[Op Intensify]

For games: Chrono Trigger - Lavos scream.
King of Fighters '97 - Orochi's full screen DM.
Rastan - Inserting a coin.
Star Fox 64 - Gorgon's rainbow laser and the low health warning.
Radiant Silvergun - Hyper Sword.
Killer7 - "Collateral Shot!" and killing a Smile.


For pinball: The "BANZAI!" when you reach the top of the vertical table in Banzai Run.
Hitting the trapped ball in Fish Tales (which also makes the mechanical fish on the top slap its tail).

[szycag]

VG:
Hundreds to choose from in Earthbound, but the Battle start sound is pretty iconic, and "OKdesuka"
DoDoDoDo DoDonPachi for me too...
"Welcome to Violent City!" Batrider
The sound of Crono's Luminaire in Chrono Trigger
Galactic Pinball's intro "Welcome to Space World! Let's Go"
"GRAND UPPER!" SoR2, which I always thought was "random punch!"

Pinball:
The weird note sequence when the ball comes out of the hole on the right in Funhouse, and "Get yourself a hot daug!" in that eastern US accent from Rudy
The sitar when your bonuses count up in Tales of the Arabian Nights
Of course, the solenoid CLACK!

[BIL]

Pretty much every single sound effect in the first three Silent Hill games. Especially the item pickup sound.

[Zeether]

Every sound effect from a Williams game/pinball machine from the 80's.

[Hagane]

"RAIZING!!!" when the company logo appears.
"BOMBAAAA!!!" - Gain's bomb cry
"Welcome to Violent City!" - of course
"NOOOOOOO!!!" - When you miss a 10k medal in Batrider
"TIGER, TIGER, TIGER, TIGER, TIGER UPPERCUT!!!"
Katana's charge shot FXs in Sengoku Blade.

The extra ball sound in pinballs is a classic
So are the Elephants in Dhalsim's stage in World Warrior that could be heard anywhere in the arcade

[Ruldra]

I absolutely LOVE the sound effects of the Firepower pinball table. They're probably the first sounds you could hear when entering this arcade I grew up in as a kid. It's pure nostalgia for me.

[kamiboy]

PlayStation startup sound.

I missed it so much after selling my original when I bought a PS2 that I bought an original again just for the pleasure of hearing that powerful booming bootup again.

Silent Hill series menu select sounds are up there as well, as is that moaning sound played when Silent Hill 3 is booted up with the two pairs of feet poking out from under the red curtains.

Gives me chills it does.

[blackoak]

Since I've been playing it a lot lately, the sound effects in Black Knight 2000. Really love those. I also love the FX in Pinbot... how I need that table in my life!

[trap15]

Most of the sound effects in Bakraid are pretty top notch. Their quality isn't immediately obvious, but after playing it so much, I've realized how fantastic they really are.

[DJ Incompetent]

The Replay thwack
Lite Martian Attack jingle on Attack From Mars
BOOM! BOOM! JACKPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!! on Attack From Mars

Pretty much anything said by the Duke of Bourbon.

The sound of a vault token being issued in Safe Cracker.

SFA2 Dan Super Level 3 (ROW ROW ROW..)
MK3 Nightwolf death scream as in nightwolf is the one dying... recycled by ninjas in umk3, best in bell tower pit fatality

I am so at a loss for words. I could not tell you how many times i have booted up a game, quality or shite, just to hear one goddamn sound effect. Shit will make me laugh for hours and days all for a .5 second clip.

Don't get me wrong, I love visuals, but sound gets me EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!

[MX7]

The EX-tend! vocal sample in Cyvern
All the female voices in Alien Soldier
The bit where Michael Jackson goes C'MON! in Sonic 3.
WEAPON LEVEL UP in battle garrega.
Every vocal sample in Pink Sweets.
The horrible roar of the final boss in Alien Soldier

LISE FWOM YOUR GWAVE

Know there's 1000000 more I'm missing out on.

[BIL]

Silent Hill 1 Mumbler attack ("HO HA HA") http://youtube/RS7UcEU4MGE ~0:52

Shame the European and Japanese versions had the demon children cut out. Unlike Trix KCET's work is not for kids, assholes!

Favourite environmental sound effect in the first game for me is the otherworldly, distinctly uncomforting noise made by the hospital's generator when it's switched on. Says a lot about KCET's commitment that even convenience-granting machines tend to have utterly malevolent personalities in their games.

The horrible roar of the final boss in Alien Soldier

Was my ringtone for a bit!

[Leandro]

the lead pipe hit sound in Streets of Rage 2.

The Parry sound in 3s

[spoot]

Pinball:
The Bride of Pinbot - "I can speak........Oh no"

Arcade:
Sinistar - "Beware moral I live!"

[stryc9]

the lead pipe hit sound in Streets of Rage 2

Damn straight. Also:

* Hit/ yell effects in Mortal Kombat 1 & 2 (arcade)
* Hit/ yell effects in Killer Instinct (arcade)
* Hit FX from Double Dragon 1 & 2
* The voices from Hokuto no Ken PS2 by Arcsys, for obvious reasons
* Robo Army
* Mutation Nation

That's off the top of my head, but no pinball as I don't have enough experience to comment - most of them I've played have awesome sound. Theatre of Magic is cool.

[undamned]

"NOOOOOOO!!!" - When you miss a 10k medal in Batrider

Haha, I can't read that without hearing the Dangun Feveron announcer

HOLY TOLEDO!!! Rock 'n Roll Racing

Great memories

every single word said by the DonPachi announcer

I like it when he calls me "rookie" regardless of how well I'm doing.

Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter has a crap-ton of great samples. The ones that comes to mind immediately are:
"Welcome to the Adventure!" (during the intro)
"SUPER STARS AND STRIIIIIPES!!!" (and any other super finish, for that matter!)
-ud

[ZacharyB]

"Showtime" multiball in The Addams Family.

[Obiwanshinobi]

Explosions and brick-breaking in Super Mario Land (stereo in that game, too).
Monkeys' voices in Super Monkey Ball.
Gitaroo Man title screen sounds.

"Heaven is here inside my soul!" [Dangun Feveron] and everything by that announcer.

every single word said by the DonPachi announcer

Ketsui lady's got the mojo as well.

[Leader Bee]

Gotta love it

Loads of sound effects from C&C tiberian dawn
- Soldiers going squish
- Infantrymen dying "Arrrrgghhh!"
- Stealth tanks stealthing
- The sound of flame throwers
and Obelisks charging and then zapping the shit out of something.

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

Robotron
Defender
Yars' Revenge
Neo Geo Startup
C-C-C-Combo Breaker!
Neo Geo Pocket Startup Sound
Game Over Yeah!

[Obiwanshinobi]

Didn't Treasue "invent" battle & pain cries in run & gun? Work a treat in Gunstar Heroes and S&P2. Did any shooting game used human voice samples this way prior to 1993?

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

Star Fox

[BIL]

*Hwaaa* Coulda swore I posted about Technos SFX here. Hm. Will get on that later.

Dogosoken/Ikari II deflecting sword. Listen to it sing!

Didn't Treasue "invent" battle & pain cries in run & gun? Work a treat in Gunstar Heroes and S&P2. Did any shooting game used human voice samples this way prior to 1993?

Good question. Offhand I'd think DECO have something to say here. For now, there's the Venusian Olympic Gymnast Team in Contra Spirits' fourth stage - Spirits of course famously featuring future Treasure personnel! Always felt kinda sorry for those enemies, haha. AND THEM ALONE. Real pathos!

[brokenhalo]

The typewritery chitta-chitta-chitta of an old EM pinball resetting the playfield and scoreboard when you hit the start button.
