Sound Byte Archives

Hand-picked samples from some of our favorite games. WAVs are perfect for event association! Everything here is "editor's choice", and many were created right here at DP HQ. Enjoy.

Video Game MP3's! Video Game Sound Effects! Video Game Theme Songs and Anthems! SID Tunes!
Ripped for your pleasure - download and play on your favorite MP3 player. WAV files suitable for Windows, much like a really good curtain. All of these EXCLAMATION points are starting to remind me of the Odyssey2! (ack! Another one!) Commodore 64 fans can listen to the harmonies of the SID chip emulated on your PC.

Everything here is WAV or MIDI format.
