PixlBit

Yea. After getting into pinball, I started noticing a lot of sounds that made it into video games. Especially the Williams tables because they made Defender and some others, and used the sounds they made for their tables. Or visa versa, I'm not sure which came first. 

i hear Doom sound effects in modern games sometimes. I assume they are like public domain stuff. Like the wilhelm sound effect in movies.

I'd love to know the origin of that stuff too. 

Ha ha. I was kind of hoping you wouldn't. I actually surprised myself with that stuff since I really haven't watched a full hockey game in many years. It's a weird favorite sport that I never watch. 

I think I'm going to bump up Horizon Zero Dawn from "really want to play" to "must play". Guerrilla Games is a favorite developer of mine, so it should enter that hallowed hall. 

Well, Space Harrier is '85, so I might get to it in July. 

Surprisingly fun considering how simple it is. I executed some sweet passes and stuffed a few pucks in the corner of the net. I even dumped and chased, although Mark yelled at me to stop that. He hates that tactic in real hockey. What else does a muck-and-grinder do?

I so want to play his game A Boy and His Blob. When I get to 1990, I'm going to find and play it. 

Freeway occupied me much longer than I initially expected. Two play is where it's at though.

Yes, the kid says that at the end. 

I've always wanted to play Defender of the Crown but could never get a hold of a copy. 

The voices in Wizard of Wor are kind of outrageous. 

Defender's alien menace jigger around so much. It's infuriating. 

I thought about that with Satan's Hollow. Even more so as there are demon heads in it that shoot fire at you. On the second screen you have to shoot down Satan who appears as a tiny red cherub. 

I got a refund from taxes this year and I contemplated getting a Switch. I just can't do it right now though. Not until I'm back at work full time again. 

I keep getting ones just a year off. At least compared to what it says in the game collection I have. I still like using wiki though because it's not full of ads and is quick to load, being mostly text. That's the kind of database I want to use.
