15 Coolest Commodore 64 Sound Effects

[BaldingEagle51]

River Raid was so nice and tranquil and enjoyable, simple and synthy. Uridium, man, very polished sound effects indeed, and the music by Steve was awesome. Giana was excellent of course. The rest I dunno... :)

[ugurakgoz]

great effort!

[WanderlustZero]

I'd have gone for the 'FIZZZOB!' sound in Bruce Lee when you get electrified/vaporised by energy beams :)

[electrictroy2010]

Pitfall 2's jump is actually an invention of the Atari VCS/2600 game system (where the game originated)

.

[gabrielirlanda]

you forgot Friday the 13th, the skulls and scream part, that was really frightening too!

[umerpasha]

Good collection but far from the 15 coolest! Without Impossible Mission, Turbo Outrun, Wizball, Myth etc. being in there!

[hippocrates72]

0:44 Chimera !

[thedarkdragon735]

Ha. I love ghosts and goblins I still have it on diskette and I still can't complete it, it looks easy but it isnt

[orensist]

awww - no Suicide Express?

[andersbiro]

I would say that less than half would actually qualify as 'cool'

[panterasux22]

@andersbiro You are using the wrong punctuation mark. ' is an apostrophe " are inverted commas or quotation marks used to infer a quote or often by people trying to look smart. Learning is "cool"

[andersbiro]

@panterasux22 How very informative, you are indeed one helluva cool dude.

[panterasux22]

@andersbiro Thank you kind sir,

[Rheinmetall1]

Very clever list! Well done. I don't know if you have played Friday the 13th, but there was a scream sound effect in that game. It wasn't "cool", but it was scary as hell. :-)

[BOdelaRUT]

Some great memories... but you've forgot two great sound effects:

Impossible Mission: Welcome visitor, stay a while stay forever! (LEGENDARY);

and in my opinion one of the best laughs: Ghostbusters (intro) Ghostbusters, mwahahahahahaha!

[jayodoom]

The explosions on Spy Hunter were quality

[esathegreat]

Raid overMoscow

engine sound

[myorke99]

man i never see people referencing pit stop 2, i played a TON of it when i was a kid.

[zakopako82]

chimera! chimera!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!­!! LOL

[vent25kn]

You forgot Maniac Mansion. This game has very good sound effects.

[sakemaki]

Was waiting for the death scream of Mission Impossible ^^

[NihilQuest]

Pretty nice choice. I would pu the feet sound from Montezumas Revenge somewhere there.

[WatchRyder]

I've just seen it and remembered that witch out of cauldron II !

Annoying game that was.

[MonoCabron123]

CHIMEEEERAAAAA!!!

[KaslarProductions]

Where the ring modulator sounds? that is by far the coolest aspect to the SID. Lookip the "Deceptor" ring mod sound

[rpdigital17]

Wow! 2:32 I just saw the very 1st videogame I have played. I didn't know it was called "River Raid". We played it on the Arcade system.

[mirabilis]

i like the in-between-levels sound effects of Commando Lybia. :)

[Koopsas]

0:48 AAaaaaaH, *Hides behind sofa*

[almo2001]

Rampage had incredible sounds by Russel Lieblich.

[OnlyGoodCommie]

Anybody interested in some new Commodore samples?

[cicalone70]

The punch's sound of IK+ is UNFORGETTABLE

[mvtjets96]

Dude, most of these sounds suck ass :P

[blumtop]

CHIMERA! CHIMERAAAA!!! so frightening!!!

[mirabilis]

commando libya has awesome sound effects. :D

[erfer666]

Thing on a Spring "BOING!". Wizard of Wor had some pretty funky noises too.

[Arcane5150]

How could you skip Mission Impossible? That had the best sound effects in C64 as far as I can remember. "Another visitor, stay awile, saty forever... hahaha" and the nice footsteps running through the hallways.

[szydlak]

True :]

[Teankun]

@Arcane5150 Yes!! One of the greatest video game quotes ever!!!

[i7fan]

@Arcane5150 Yeah!!! Was just thinking of seeing (hearing) that here.

[s1ider]

@Arcane5150 i agree. . . .however, it was called "impossible mission" if I remember correcctly

[TeamRocketReviews]

@Arcane5150 It's not really a sound effect. That would be #1 in a list of C64 speech samples

[DeathofRats42]

Guess I should point out that's actually Impossible Mission. Those Tom Cruise films make it easy to mix up though. :)

[freejaytea]

@Arcane5150 And Beach Head

[securitysystem]

I agree with many of them, but personally I would add the "exploding bat sound" and the "shoot the aliens sound" from arkanoid, the "two robots collide" sound from paradroid and the "shuttle comes down" sound from alleykat!

[boo5ta]

OMG Microprose Soccer was such an awesome game :D

[OngBakPlayer]

Chimera omfg!!! ^^

[szydlak]

Hehe - a pretty shitty gameplay with some cool sfx :)

[OngBakPlayer]

yeah i never was play any of this games,but chimera sfx is just imba^^

[shahidkamal]

I'm glad to be in a top 10 of anything, even if you didn't like the game. :-)

[szydlak]

It's not actually that I didn't like it. My last encounter with the title was like 15 or more years ago:) As a kid I found it quite difficult. Maybe I should give it another chance (by emulating as my C64 tapes are lost forever, I'm affraid :)) anyway, thanks for a wonderful sound effect, that many gamers will remember forever :)

[shahidkamal]

You're very welcome and thanks again!

It was very difficult, you're right! I'm working on a simple re-make to mark the 25th anniversary.

[szydlak]

I'd be glad to try it out. Keep us - C64 fans - informed and good luck:)

[Abrimaal]

Dobry pomysł, może ja kiedyś nagram najciekawsze sfx ze Spectrum.

[szydlak]

Dawaj - świetny pomysł, którego rezultat chętnie obejrzę. Swoją drogą, to myślałem, żeś Pan innej narodowości...a swoją drogą 3x Kiss me też lubię nadmiernie :)

[Abrimaal]

Nagrałem na razie sfx z kilku gier które pamiętam, ale na pewno jest ich więcej.

[TheMojo88]

grabbed by the ghoolis frezze sound

[pocoko]

i think the witch's laughter in wizard of wor would deserve at least third place in this compilation

[emperorpoto]

The Chimera one is frightening! I'm glad I never played it when I was little. It's nightmare inducing.

[Sebizzar]

LOL! I know THAT was annoying, the witch's laugh was actually funny & so was #9 lmao xD

[Simon0]

ik+ sound is brilliant!

[Keijz74]

Barbarian "BONK HaHaHaHaHa!" was nice, but they're all nice :o)#

[baramor83]

nice vid! some of these sound´s i will never forget

[TheCommodore64Player]

No samples from Impossible Mission? I just thought they would be #1.... Another visitor, stay a while, stay forever muahahahahaha xD
