What are some of your favorite sound FX from PCE games? CD or hucard, doesn't matter. I find that, when done right/good, I tend to like PCE sound FX best for games in that era. Yeah, they tend to lack some nice explosions, but I mean the general utility sound FX.

 List some of your favorites from games.

One of my absolute favorites is the sound made by swinging Keith Courage's lazer sword. 8) (while in the robot suit, of course!)

I love the noise that occurs when you punch people in Vigilante

also, the noise you make when you flip in Bonk.

Do samples count? I love the enemy laser and explosion sounds from macross 2036, and the boss explosion sounds in Gate of Thunder.

Any of the sounds from Dungeon Explorer / Legendary Axe II.  They have a great metallic "presence" to them.

The helicopter take-off from Kyukyoku Tiger is the best sound effect ever.

There's a reason I love you guys:

The helicopter take-off from Kyukyoku Tiger is the best sound effect ever.

Any of the sounds from Dungeon Explorer / Legendary Axe II.  They have a great metallic "presence" to them.

A 100% axe smashing into a formidable enemy/boss is one of the most visceral moments in Video Game History. This, I declare :)


Also, here are some TOP SFX:

(1) The wonderfully bass-laden "bluuuubluuuubluuuu" when you shoot the spacefalling brains in BLAZING LAZERS.

(2) The extremely satisfying, BASS-LADEN explosion sound when you blow up certain enemies in BLAZING LAZERS (if I remembered the sound test in the game, I'd find the goddamned number of that sound). A lot of the sound effects are variations, but this one, this one adds a distinctive bassy BOOOM underneath everything else. Quite satisfying.

(3) The screeching tires in Victory Run and screeching shoes in JJ & Jeff. Whoops! Those are two of the most annoying sound effects. Victory Run, in particular, is marred by the horrible screeching tire sfx. INEXCUSABLE.

(4) Wonderboy III: Monster Lair sound effects, taken as a whole, I like, because they actually become a very important soundscape unto themselves, in tandem with the FANTASTIC Red Book. Honestly, playing Wonderboy III: Monster Lair, for me, is a GRATUITIOUS, NON-STOP fruit-bursting, fruit-snatching, power-up grabbing FIASCO. It wouldn't be nearly as fun if the sound effects fell flat. DON'T PLAY WITH TURBO SWITCHES, because that ruins the SFX soundscape.

sword swing and muted explosions in ninja spirit
"shubibeeeeeam!"
the sound of the hearts showing up in splatterhouse at the beginning of a stage
the "hurt" sound in valis III

that's all I can think of off the top of my head at the moment.

and NOT the shots in Rayxanber.

Cybercore--when you get hit and POWERDOWN... it's such a depressingly appropriate sound effect. It is MOURNFUL.


The wobbly sound as the dragon spits fire in Space Harrier.

HELL YES!

Love that.



the "hurt" sound in valis III

I can't recall this, I'll have to investigate further.

Oddly, it's also the same sound effect as when you shoot potions in Dungeon Explorer.

Shaft, as he calls out the three different attacks...Lightning, fire and spinning orbs, the last boss in Kaze Kiri has a really cool sounding(and looking) attack in which he shoots a large beam from his hands, i also agree about Legendary Axe 2.
