>dat sheet music

When I was a kid, I always liked the NES Mario sound effects better than the SNES (All-Stars) sounds, but had no idea why.

Nowadays it makes perfect sense. The NES sound effects actually have a melodic quality to them. They're like music. The All-Stars sound effects are just sounds.

>>1277110
I like the item pickup sounds in Quake 1.
