Quoted from CrazyLevi:

The sound was terrible on all of those games compared to other manufacturers during the entire digital era, the layouts may have been "unique" but they sucked, and the titles didn't seem particularly cool to me. But I'm glad someone is enjoying these games.

Yep, for the most part the sounds and music on these games were pretty bad, with a few exceptions.. TX sector sounds pretty cool with its 8-bit tunes, and Class of 1812's chickens doing the 1812 Overture is something very unique. Otherwise the sounds and tunes are bad and repetitive.

Quoted from Whysnow:

they used particle or compressed board or whatever you call it, it some games (not sure of the actual date/split). They are heavy and solid but susceptible to moisture causing swelling.

yea those are the cabs where you start to leave pieces of the game at every show you drag it to. I think there's bits of Matt's Monaco scattered all over Ohio and KY...

Quoted from Whysnow:

I think you guys missed it that this thread was asking for people that liked them... lol
Gottlieb invested in sound quality and it shows. It was also part of the reason they failed... you cant hear pins on location in a loud arcade so it was a silly investment for the BOM. The quality of audio quality and uniqueness in gottliebs is better for every era acrossed the board.

I liked playing them, just get tired of them quickly. Will always play 1812 when I can. PAPA HQ is an awesome place to get your fill of these games. As for the sound, music is art and art is divisive I'll give the Sys3 games props for sounding like a Sega Genesis.. reminds me of shmups. You have to agree the default sounds on some games gets highly irritating.. "Shoot the pyramid!" "You shore need that ramp shot!" etc

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

This is something you dreamed and doesn't actually happen in real life.

No, he's right, many people never see these games except at shows, so people line up to play them when they can.

I'll give the whole library a run through when I can, always fun to play Rock or SNS or (gawd) Cactus Jacks (yeeeEEE HAW!) Unlimited room, I'd own em all.

Quoted from pacmanretro:

Because my opinion was that he should not make decisions solely based on only one other person's opinion....and that your opinion may be slightly biased away from it regardless if it is good or not since you clearly don't like these machines...

My God, what the hell.. telling someone their opinion is invalid because they don't like a game? WTF is wrong with you? NOT LIKING A GAME is a valid opinion! And it's just as valid as yours.
