What is your arcade cab's theme tune?

(1/8) > >>

Richy:
I was just wondering if any of your mame cabs have a theme tune. Meaning a song from the 80's which reminds you of playing arcade games and goes hand in hand with playing it.

HeadRusch:
Do you mean a song that plays when your cab boots up, or just "a song that takes you back" in general?

There are no songs specifically that remind me of my arcade days.......any songs from the period qualify.
The early 80's was a freakin boomtime to be a kid.  You had arcades, you had the birth of MTV (that really changed things), you had the debut of HUGE toy lines with 1/2 hour commercials (cartoons) to get you to buy them, and you had the birth of the "electronic 80's".....walkmans....home computers.....etc.

If you mean in your cabinet, well, my PC boots up with a commodore 64 startup screen and fires of a custom wav I hacked together from BERZERK......That pretty much gets me in the right place ;)

HMMM..question...Do any of the front-ends allow you to play an MP3 file during menu selection that not only fades out when you start your game, but fades IN when you end it?

I'm still working on my cabinet and FE but so far I'm launching the smaller 80's arcade movie (forgot who put that together) in a flash with first 30 sec or so of Empire by Queen's Riche.... Way Cool....

Then the shutdown is a mix of the old GAME OVER in Missle Command and the Bezzerk sound of "Stop the Humanoid" and then a Cylon (remember Battle Star Gallatica) reply with "By Your Command"...... I feel 13 again.... WOW ! ;D

Still working on that... I have like a mega80's remix/medley that plays.

Accidently have Twisted Sister's "We're not gonna take it" in a loop under glauncher menu.  *shrug*

i Just mean a song that takes you back to the arcade. I'm trying to come up with a good song for my menu.

Not pacman fever by buckner and garcia, though.
