I love
the `multiple sprat' when you collect more than one
item at once, so I have a lot of `multi-items' in my
games! :-)
Perhaps I'll hack the MM game engine
to go `sprat' when you pick up an item.
I
also like the `tarps' (`sprat' backwards) to warn of
an arrow, and I love `multiple tarps' (you wait
until you hear "SELENTEN PILGRIM FRIGATE" in Goodnite
Luddite!).
I love the sounds of jumping and falling, the
recurring patterns that you get - especially when they
annoy my family! ;-) There's an Abba song, "Gimme Gimme
Gimme (A Man After Midnight)" that sounds just like
when you jump up and bang your head against a wall two
characters above your head! :-)
My favourite, though,
has always been the `glint' when you lose a
life.
I also like the sounds of jumping and falling in
JSW II, which vary in pitch with your height in the
screen.
In JSW128, on the Game Over screen, is it just me or
does the last note played of the in-game tune hold as
the foot comes down? (If you listen ever so
carefully, I think you can still hear the note behind the
louder 48K sound of the foot).
