roadrunner Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Same sound when you catch a clown on the teeter-totter and bounce him up to the balloons. It's odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Chalk it up to similar distortion settings for TIA on Circus and POKEY on 5200 Galaxian? 2600 Circus programmer was Mike Lorenzo. 5200 Galaxian programmer was Joseph Tung. So, not the same person. Maybe RandomTerrain has a comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ryan Witmer Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It wouldn't surprise me if there was an in-house collection of sound effects at Atari that programmers could dip into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuzaxeman Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 The only real sound they share is when your galaxian ship hits an alien ship when it's staying in its fleet and not moving. 5200 galaxian has about 10 more other sounds in there and have simultaneously sounds going on that circus doesn't.
