Whats the ultimate arcade room/games room playlist ?
Talking about music from 87 to 92 in my case. Anyone got any songs that 'bring you back' to the golden days in your seaside arcade ?
I want to compile a list of songs that coudl play in the background when playing Twin Cobra or Track & Field on my arcade cab

Some nerd in America made a compilation of 'arcade ambiance' style background noise for playing over your home sound system. Alot of the arcade machine collectors use it. It's tape recorder transfers of some guy walking around an arcade in the 80's and the various bleeps, melodies and snatches of people talking that was going on in there.
Wheres the link? I can't remember.
Now that I think about it.. I was around the arcade around 89 to 92. Trying to remember what they played. Mostly pop music. There was definitely an older kid who could recite the entire rap from Snow's Informer which impressed the rest of us. There was another arcade where the guy only had two CD's which meant you'd listen to Blackstreet and that French world music/downbeat dance type group.. were they called Exile or Enigma or something like that? They're still going now. Other than that it was whatever the radio was playing. Snap Rythm Is a Dancer.. that kind of thing. Just download Now 21 back to about Now 15 or so and you should be covered. 0 -
A lot of my retro gaming experience takes place from about 1987-1990, so the following tunes come to mind:
Games Played from that period: Wonder Boy, Outrun, Gryzor, Pacland, WWF Superstars, Street Fighter (the original), Final Blow, Hang On, Captain Silver Gauntlet II, and Rastan.
Music:
Bon Jovi - Living On A Prayer
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
Salt N Pepa - Push It
Phil Collins - Groovy Kind Of Love (usually played by the girls who were queuing to play Pacmania)
Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now
Level 42 - Heaven In My Hands
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine (and Patience)
Belinda Carlisle - Circle In The Sand
INXS - New Sensation
Paul McCartney - My Brave Face
Nenah Cherry - Buffalo Stance
And those are only the ones off the top of my head. 80s arcades were fun, even when you ran out of coins, there was always the jukebox banging out the tunes for as long as you could avoid the bouncers kicking you out for not spending any money, lol. 0 -

Don't get me wrong folks, these were songs playing in the jukebox at our local arcade at the time. Bad as those sound, they sure as hell were better than the crud that got shifted onto the jukebox in the early 90s. 2 Unlimited anyone?
That jukebox did have a fairly decent mix, between GNR, Jovi, Whitesnake, Poison etc, for 1989, that was actually damn good compared to some jukeboxes that played non stop New Kids On The Block!
By comparison, we were actually blessed.0 -
