The games that come to mind in regards to sound effects are Joust & Defender. Some of the coolest sounds in gaming history!
funny you should say that since those are two of the retrocade games.
I'll give you a listen to what kinda stuff ive got so far.
well, everyone will get a listen. CCAG video after the CCAG
only thing I CANT do, is make the sfx blaringly loud like the arcade. but samples wont help me there.
The trick to that is, theres no game music in the arcade, and a knob inside the cab messes with speakervolume. I cranked TRON at home so loud it shakes the room, lol
