ive just ordered this:

http://gkworld.com/product/GKW00732

you cant get more relevant than that! before i got into mame i found a tune by accident called kof- ice place. at that time i had no idea it meant King Of Fighters! the song is stuck on a dead hard drive now and i miss it and cant find it on the file sharing places. now i find i can get the album, which i couldnt seem to find before. so all is well again, and who knows maybe some of the other tunes are cool too (",)

danny_galaga:


just received the cd! from montgomery, NY to brisbane australia in less than a week (",) . ahhh, it was good to hear 'ice place' again. haven't listened to the rest yet.

oh, also in the mail was a $1500 tax refund  8) . now i wonder what the third cool thing is that this day brings...

edit: well, ive listened to all 14 tracks now. about 3 or 4 goods ones. sorta trancey or acid jazzy like.  the others sound too much like 'america, f*** yeah' kinda songs, or cheesy cop chase type tunes- which isnt surprising since it IS background music for a fighting game (",)

I'm not familiar with music on computers yet,  but I going to hook up my new MAME up set next week; I' ll play around with this then.

Most if not all FE's play MP3's. 

In Mala (for example) you have the option of having the music 'pause on game start' or keep Muzac playing while you are Gaming.

I've played video games and putt=putt in Texas since the 70s and I've never heard anything like that at all.

Are you being serious or were you joiking?

I think it is this track, or is used in this track:
"Sweet Garbage Streets" by Dead Voices on Air.
Amazon sample: "http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/wma-pop-up/B00004TSBC001009/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_009/104-3047488-4450339
Sound familiar to anyone in DFW?

--- Quote ---Does it have the sound of someone slamming repeatedly on a Punch-Out!! Big Blue Button and the accompanying "ding" sound that indicates that they don't have the necessary full KO meter to use the KO punch yet?

Does it have the sound of some kid saying to the attendant, "Hey, this machine stole my quarter!"

Does it have the sound of a kid walking around from machine to machine pressing the coin return buttons and sticking his finger in the coin return slots hoping to score a free quarter?

How about the sound of a fight breaking out in the background after someone "accidentally" elbow smashed his buddy on Double Dragon one too many times?

The sounds of various expletives and kicking/punching/banging on machines?

What about the sound of an annoying kid saying stuff like "That's not the way you're supposed to do that..." or "Want me to get you past this part? I'll give it right back!" or "Hey, you missed that powerup!"?
