Arcade Ambience 1986

Hofle, you're great!  ;D

What a year 86 was. I had NO life. No friends that mattered. But I spent every dime and all my time at the video arcades. Pathetic but true. Why this ambience soundtrack brings pleasure I don't know. I'm sure I could spend hours on some doc's couch exploring that one!

heh.  ;)


My golden years of arcading ended in about '89. What about you guys?


PS: How come there's no sounds of some jerk swearing at and hitting the machine?

Yeah, you do need that in there.

Now the only things missing are the stale cigarette smoke smell and the creepy fat guy that never actually plays anything but stares at you while you play.

The scary thing about that part is there was a scary fat guy who "managed" the arcade i cut my teeth in. He used to have me go grab him coffee and sandwiches in exchange for quarters. I feel so dirty now....

You Didn't happen to play at Gameroom 1 in the south hills of Pittsburgh did you?

Back on topic.

These files are simply fantastic.

Nope, I grew up in Minnesota, so I went to completely different arcades.  I think it's just that arcades in the eighties had a standard complement of one creepy fat guy per location.
