Which sound hit your nostalgia the hardest?
- Thread starter GameOver
- Start date
I didn't even have to click to know the answer, and there it is. Neo-Geo all the way!
WoolieVs is partly responsible for that, to be fair.

I don't remember that Q sound at all. Was that just from the Arcade version?
For me I remember this:

Never heard either but the Q jingle sounds like the musical equivalent of listening to the voices in your head.
Q Sound reminded me of playing the Mega Man Power Battle games on the Anniversary Collection
That's some good nostalgia

Fun Fact, each Capcom Arcade Game had a different variation on the Q-Sound startup.

The one I'm most familiar with is the X-Men VS Street Fighter one.

I use one of them (think it's the one from D&D TOD) as my ringtone. It's obscure & doesn't especially sound "video gamey."
But then I remove all doubt by having the Neo Geo "insert coin" jingle for incoming texts.
So many people here have never heard the NEO GEO sound...that's kinda criminal tbh. Some great games missed out on.
The PlayStation BIOS sound. It kinda represents my gaming life during the entire second half of the '90s.
I think Resetera is majority millennials tbh. Never heard the sound of these two devices before this thread.
I use the Neo Geo insert coin for texts as well funnily enough, though my ringtone is the UNIEL character select screen instead (The piano just works really well for it).
TBH I'm not even sure I'd know the Q sound if I heard it and didn't see it . Neo-Geo tho , instant
Why would you use the QSound jingle and not the Capcom jingle?

I'd say Neo-Geo but only because how popular that theme is around gaming circles. I never personally been too familiar with either jingles.
This is the one I have nostalgia for, had a bunch of SNES and Genesis Capcom games growing up.

This is immediately what popped into my head before I'd even clicked into the thread.
I should note that it was more the more subdued, second half of the PlayStation BIOS sound (with the iconic PS-logo), which always felt like kind of a "relief", of "almost being there". Good times.
yeah wtf. That Qsound stuff just sounds procedurally generated, it's grating. The Capcom jingle is a thing of beauty.
Q-Sound for me. Since a surprising amount of people are unfamiliar, these are the games that used the Q-Sound intro....

There were a few other games like Strider 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3 but they used a different jingle. Basically if you were playing CPS2 games between 1993 and 2000 then you should be familiar with the Q Sound tune.

Yeah, it's the jingle. First Magical Adventure starring Mickey Mouse, then Mega Man 7 and X.
So memorative for me because of the original Resident Evil. Not sure why I associate it with that more than other Capcom games, of which I've played a ton, but that's immediately what I thought of.
Why would they? If you're older, the point of diving into MAME and FinalBurn is to see more of these arcade games you might half remember from days long past.
But if you're young you don't have that context, and for your entire life arcades have only been Dave & Busters/Gameworks style fake ticket gambling parlors.
Out of the 2 you posted the Neo Geo one more for me, I played ALOT of Mame in the late 90's early 00's. I think my most though overall are the PS1 bios and like Capcom/Konami SNES logos.

I don't think some of these are right. I've never heard that dimahoo one ever and I've played the game quite a bit.
I always associate the one that progear and a few other games near the end of that video have with qsound.
This sound followed by SF2 theme is the soundtrack of my childhood.

I'm surprised of the amount of people that have never heard the Qsound jingle or neither.
I guess Era skews younger than I thought?
If you were around Aracdes in the mid to late 90s there is no way you missed the Qsound jingle. Specially if you played any of the VS Capcom games.
