BlackPhantom Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 So as I exited the automatic doors of a shopping center today, the doors made a sound that reminded me of a sound effect from the original Starfox. There was also a time a while back when I went into a convenience store and the cash register made a sound just like the sound effect for Sonic grabbing a ring. So I was just curious: has anyone else heard things that reminded you of video game sound effects? Either these things are just a coincidence, or a sign that I've spent too much of my life playing video games. Probably both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brycepops Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 There was also a time a while back when I went into a convenience store and the cash register made a sound just like the sound effect for Sonic grabbing a ring. When my friend used to work at a gas station by his house, he told me that's what the register sounded like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 once i was walking into a safeway with my cousin. On the way through the parking lot, he was fiddling with his phone. when we got to the automatic doors, he pressed a button and all the sudden i heard that zelda chime that happens when you find a secret. I was lolling all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gas station just down the street from where I live does this too; it's an entire chain apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m68030 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Not exactly SFX.. but there is apparently a truck that drive around town here selling various southern foods like boiled peanuts. they play music like an icecream truck. I was unaware of it at the time and exited my grandmothers house a year or so ago only to hear the Super Mario Bros. underworld theme echoing through the trees, complete with in-game sound effects. I was bewildered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjSammyG Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 So I got in a fight the other day, and after I handed this dude's ass to him, I heard a disembodied, booming voice say "FINISH HIM". I proceeded to laser the guy with my eyes, causing him to burst into flames. The same voice proclaimed "SammyG WINS. FATALITY". Then a second disembodied voice squeaked "Toasty!"
