Best sounding games or sfx in games
mimic:
Seems like it's always about visuals in video games or gameplay I don't think I've seen a thread about games with most memorable tunes and sound effects.
I hear the following sounds in my head (that's right! coo-coo!) since I first stepped into the arcades:
grobda - sfx and hi score jingle
commando - first level music (I usually can't get past that so I don't know if there is anything else memorable)
mikie - music
Tokio (Scramble Formation) - tune before level starts
Green Beret (rush'n'attack) - death/hi score tune
P.s. let's just limit to ARCADE video games no pc/console, etc.

Just off the top of my head:
The "Insert Coin" sound in many Atari games always gives me goosebumps.
The announcer in Gauntlet
Level 2 of Marble Madness
And of course, the opening themes to Pacman, Galaga, Time Pilot and Donkey Kong.

Defender "Coin Up" sound.

The williams games always had great sound fx to me (like Defender, Stargate, Robotron, etc).
One that always gets me for music is Ribbit, but you have to be a classical fan.
