With this post I revisit a feature I left off way back when (May 2007 for those keeping track). Yes, it’s time for another arcade sound quiz! <\/p>\n

All of these games share a common theme.<\/p>\n

In each game, you pilot some kind of flying craft (airship\/spaceship\/etc.).<\/p>\n

I’ll give you the year the game came out, to make it very slightly easier. Even if you’re not really into arcade games, I find the sounds themselves quite pleasing, in an experimental kinda way.<\/p>\n

Ship 1<\/a> (1979)
A classic vector graphics game, and still a lot of fun after all these years.<\/p>\n

Ship 2<\/a> (1981)
A game for all you cool “weekend warrior” arcade game players. For many casual gamers, it would be a choice between this game or Ms. Pacman — in most bars you could probably find both.<\/p>\n

Ship 3<\/a> (1982)
Wow, do I suck at this game. It was one of the first to introduce a 3D-like perspective. Oh, and I sucked and continue to suck at it.<\/p>\n

Ship 4<\/a> (1983)
This game is a little reminiscent of Tempest in that your ship rotates in a circle shooting at oncoming ships. The game’s background music actually uses some snippets from a Bach piece, to excellent effect.<\/p>\n

Ship 5<\/a> (1982)
I wasn’t so good at this game, but it was quite a bit of fun. Plus, you got to fight all sorts of interesting aircraft, from biplanes to UFOs.<\/p>\n
