Osmeroid Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 I guess this one is directed more at the musically inclined but has anyone considered adding the arcade soundtrack (a Jean-Michelle Jarre track as I recall) to Pengo? Admittedly I know very little about sound generation, so the complexities of doing this would be lost on me! Just wondered if this was a possibility on the 2600.

NE146 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Which tune are you thinking of? ..Since there's 2 soundtracks to Pengo depending on where you lived Personally I liked the "popcorn" music which I also think is the original version from the Japanese machine (which also had the "ice-clearing" before each stage which the U.S. version did not). Since you mentioned a Jean-Michell Jare track.. I assume you're talking about the U.S version music which is the same music that made it to the Atari 5200/400/800 version. But yeah that would be great to add in the music to the 2600 version. But also I think it would be just as awesome to CHANGE the 5200 version to have the Popcorn music as well (or is it just me that thinks that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 He is thinking of what you call popcorn, Jarre did a song that sounds just like that on the album Oxygen I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the bugger! I was thinking that to create Pengo with fx & soundtrack closer to the arcade, would it be necessary to do a Pitfall II, i.e. dedicated soundchip?
