Nice selection of games!

To me, nothing beats the Arcadiator circuit by Parasit Studio. That thing is amazing. One of the few pedals I really miss. Will need to get a new one.

On my phone, but some favourites: Super Castlevania IV, Pocky & Rocky, LoZ:ALTTP, Pilotwings, Joe & Mac, The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Top Gear, Super Double Dragon, Street Fighter Alpha 4, Killer Instinct, F-Zero. Damn...screw the Arcadiator, I need to pick up a new SNES :lol:

My favorite is my Screeching Owl fx Hydra. It's pll based octavy synth goodness. That, the fuzzhugger Upper, and DE Bit are all great video game noise makers. But I agree, I really want an Arcadiator. And a bit crusher or sample reducer of some sort.

The Devi Ever Bit is definitely cool, but to me, nothing beats the Wolf Computer and its derivatives. Weird arpeggios, dynamic 8-bitty goodness, and it oscillates if you want it to. :!!!: Need to get my hands on a sexy bitcrusher, though.

I only play Zelda games. :idk:

Link to the Past is the best Zelda game. A few years back I could beat that game in like record time. (Windwaker is the 2nd best Zelda game, fight me.)

Only glitchy thing I have is the Fox Calculator but that thing gets 8 bit and nasty real quick.

I think you will find that Majora's Mask is the second best LoZ. :cool:

I've used the ss/bs Blargg-o-tron-o-tron on a couple of soundtracks for video game movies/documentaries. I like the Strymon Mobius for bit-crushing.

Here's a few of my faves:

Arcaderator, uglyface, sometimes the ARP delay on the in limbo II, Guitardämmerung sometimes, 88+lfo, etc are all fun for some video game sounds. I'd imagine that new penny pedals one would be too.

Sorry, I like way too many games.

I got one as my Secret Santa gift this year, and its true, it is good for that and I like it a lot, but for me, it isn't as intuitive as the ones I mentioned, takes more fiddling with.

not mine, but this is what sold me on it

And I forgot Metal Slug, KOF, Donpachi, Judgement Silversword, and of course the greatest game of all time Tetris on the gameboy...

Good to see another shooter fan out there. I 1cc'd two loops of gradius in the arcade...my proudest moment. Fully ranked too.

Battle Garregga and Gigawing should be there too...and escatos, raiden fighters jet...and probably 100 more.
