Hey all, me again. I was just wondering as I had just put up a post in the Epoch emulator, what is your least favourite alarm sound on a fruit machine? Mine's got to be either Empire's almost burglar alarm like sound or barcrest's classic "Hey! check it out!" Also bell fruit's strange alarm has an eary feel to it. I am not fussed about many of Maygay's M1A/B alarm sounds as they almost are the same sound about 6 times. My least favourite sound of the epoch tech is Duff Beer Guide. Does anyone else agree or have any others they dislike? I think the number 1 will be "hey! check it out!" PS on a Maygay machine, what does the attached sample mean? I have been getting this when playing trivial pursuit £5 for a long time and whenever I win on Calypso classic layout by Spa. That sound also freeks me out! Regards, Tom.

"uh ho - error" 

"uh ho - error"

"uh ho - error"

 

...I could go on, like the error does - it used to do my tits in when I played the machines many moons ago - I think it is a Bell Fruit error warning, I can't remember now lol :p


All The Best

Line Up reset alarm - the countdown from 70 to 0.  On the emulator the speed gets notched up so it counts it down it about 2 seconds.  In real life it used to last about 40 - nightmare....

My best alarm is bar-x sounds spooky worst has to be a partytime alarm machine light turns red. Had it once at gala some old bint was on top board alarm went off so the rest of us couldn't play until the top board span off. And waiting for someone to come and have a look in there, is like waiting for the second coming of christ, at least we got to hear the partytime music for about 15mins non stop.
The more I do today, The less I do tomorrow.
Fme is alive and screaming into the 21st century!
Enjoy FME and Happy Gaming!!!!

Bell-Fruit Scorp4 general alarm I find a bit annoying, but not 1/2 as as annoying as me having it on my phone, and running it to piss off Arcade Staff :D

Hey Stanmarsh, got the MP3 today. That's a great alarm sound, I'll put it on my iPhone to annoy me to get me to get up in the morning. I hate the bog-standard alarm sounds. That one will get me up in the end as it keeps going, and going, and going ... well, you get the picture m8! That's great news on the Epoch emu, isn't it? Do you know what that sound meant that I attached to this thread? It happens on a lot of Maygays and it's like a low pitched buzz when I have used the machine for an elongated time.

This astra alarm is one of the most annoying sounds I've heard.

Not exactly an alarm, but it's the 'Attract Mode' sound of the 'Penny Pushers', They are usually situated at the front of the arcade, sound cranked up to max and sound like an out of tune Mr Softie ice cream van on steroids!!!

OOoooh they make me mad.....mad!!!!

Mad I tell you!!!

That Astra alarm does my head in, so I haven't saved it! Question is, where the hell did you get that sound from and the bell fruit scorp 4 alarm? Are they free to download? It seems that no-one can help me on the first attachment I posted about the Maygay machines. Is it because no-one's sure or not?
