"Arcade Ambience" -- Constructed by Jim Leonard (trixter@hornet.org) 

ArcadeAmbience.wav is a 30-second sound loop of a traditional videogame
arcade circa 1982.  It was written with Vector Dream specifically in
mind, but is suitable as background noise for any simulated arcade
experience.

The spatial "viewpoint" is the game player positioned in the middle of
the arcade, with pinball tables behind him, Defender and Robotron in
front of him on the other side (remember the rows of games, back to
back?), and Journey playing on the overhead sound system.  Close your
eyes...  Feel it?

Arcade Ambience is completely synthetic--I do not have the ability to
travel back in time, so I assembled it out of several different sources
(mostly clips from assorted movies from the early 80's).

You, the consumer, are allowed to use this sound file practically any
way you want as long as 1. You don't sell it, and 2. You credit me.

Tools used:

	Sound Forge 4.0 (Best $350 I ever spent!)
	My memory
	An emulator here and there

Assorted arcade sounds used in the making of this (see if you can spot
them all, boys and girls!):

	People:

		Boyfriend, excited: "Let's go!"  Girlfriend: "Don't pull me!"

		One guy lauging at the other guy who just got killed

		"Hey, looks like he's got 300,000..."

		"Use the paws button, you idiot!" (figure out THAT rare one ;-)

	Video game sounds:

		Robotron

		Defender

		Phoenix

		Galaga

	Misc:

		Pinball flippers and plunger

		The sound of inexperienced people mashing buttons
		instead of timed, careful attacks

		And, last but not least: Journey playing on the sound
		system :-)
