Okay, so here's the story.
I was sitting around one weekend feeling completely lousy. The kind of illness where you don't want to do anything but hang around the computer, eat and sleep all day. As a result, I played a few games on Visual Pinball and began messing around with a new audio software program I picked up.
After an hour and a few cold-pills I thought to myself, "Hmm, I wonder if I can grab the music off this game (which was, at the time, Riverboat Gambler) into my software".
I started the game diagnostics, ran the music and hit record. To my surprise, it captured. It captured rather "hot" (due to the fact that my settings were whacked). But, it recorded into the computer none-the-less.
So me, being the sick f(#**r that I am thought to myself, "Hmm......I wonder what it would sound like to record the beginning after pressing start with shooter theme, mix it with the main theme, and cut it with the ending that plays when you lose a ball".
And, here was the result (cut down in quality for purposes of this example, the final versions are very good quality):

To make a long story short, I captured and edited some tunes from all 32 games that use the Williams System-11 Sound Board (including early Bally Atlantis and Truck Stop). Some cuts are fade-in/fade-out. Some cuts are mixtures of various tunes all strung together. And some cuts are edited completely like the example above.
Well gang, I'm offering these to anyone who is interested. If you're as sick as me, and like listening to System-11 music..........then you can't go wrong here!
This set includes two CDs. Random cuts from each game are used ranging from one track to five tracks (and from :45 - 2:00 each). Like I said, some are mixed as well. The first CD is about 30 minutes. The second CD is about an hour. There are almost 100 tracks between the two. I listed the games and what CD they appear at the bottom of this page.
I'm offering it for my "cost" to produce, materials, dub and ship. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.
$5.00 (includes shipping to the USA)!!!!!!
Canada please add .50 to the order for shipping. If you're interested in a set, you can PAYPAL me right away at my e-mail: spida1@verizon.net
If you're interested in multiple copies, are outside the USA or want to pay a different way other than PayPal, then send me an e-mail to the same address and we'll work something out.
If you're still not sold, here are a couple more examples. Again, please note, these are all cutdown in quality for purposes of load times. They are 1/8 their original file size and one channel. The ones on the CD are crisp and clear:
Diner (example of one with an edited beginning & ending):

Mousin' Around (a favorite of mine with a fade in/out):

Whirlwind (an example of one not in the "music" test and grabbed from the game itself):

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy this small labor-of-love that came about from feeling sick. Although, if you were "into" these games.......this CD set is memories galore! It was fun! ;)

Chris Bucci
