History MostWonderfulSound / VideoGames

* The clickity-clack sounds of the UsefulNotes/NeoGeoPocketColor's joystick.
* ''CHOOOMMM!'' the Apple start up sound. And from the UsefulNotes/AppleII: BEEP! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-GRUNUNUNUNK!

* The UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvqY2tmJ0H8 click]]'' sound. It's strangely fascinating.

* The sound of the [[UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 PC Engine]]'s CD drive spinning. For many games the drive is at rest most of the time, and only spins when data is being pulled from the CD. So when you hear that noise, you know that you're about to hear or see something spectacular.

*** "'''''ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"''''' (if you pull off more than 50 hits in the UsefulNotes/XboxOne reboot.)

** Ganon's Warlock Punch has the most badass battle roar of all time, even though the move is so slow that its only use is to taunt your opponent. GGRRRRAAAAAAGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

* ''VideoGame/NamuAmidaButsuUtena'': The sound effect that accompanies a glorious circle of light targeting an enemy when an attack-type spell or combined attack is performed.

* ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'': The ''shakubyōshi'' clack that announces the triggering of Shinken Hissatsu.
** The parrying noise from kiwame wakizashi's BlockingStopsAllDamage.

** Each game's death scream from their respective BonusBoss. [[spoiler:The Demi-fiend]] screams (AAAAAAHHHHHH! - though, given who it is, this is the only time it's a good sound) and [[spoiler:Satan]] screams (OOOOOOHHHHHH!) before a very, very long explosion animation (BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANGBANGBANGBANGBANG WHOOOOOOOOSH!).

"I'm detecting a [[ParanoiaFuel very dangerous]] [[BonusBoss demon]] nearby. You should consider getting out of here." (Unless you aren't trying to trigger it, in which case it's NightmareFuel.)

** In Segment 2 Lead: [[AC:[[PrepareToDie You will]] [[BonusBoss die here!]]]], followed by the [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic sped up]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxjAlzN8pOU Segment 1-2 boss theme]].

* The [[BonusBoss extra stage]] alarm in ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'', as well as "Wow! It's a new record!"

*** And, ironically, BonusBoss BGM [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf0baIAa8xM starting up in place of "Funky Dude"]]...if you're deliberately seeking out the Bonus Boss. If you unlocked it by accident and aren't prepared, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck on the other hand...]]
** When you fulfill the condition for a BonusBoss, the announcer signals it. "Cool!" "Excellent!" "Wonderful!"

** "*BOOM* "RIVAL CAR DESTROYED!"

** The [[EveryTenThousandPoints extend]] jingle.

* ''VideoGame/TorusTrooper'': The sound of a [[EveryTenThousandPoints point-based]] [[StalkedByTheBell time]] extension.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'' probably has only one, but it's probably the most remembered sound in the game- [[HealingPotion BUUUUUUUUG JUUUUUUUUUUUICE]]!!! (To explain, Bug Juice recovers all of Bug's five hitpoints)

** The *Vrmm-KRSSK* of picking up an Energy Sword. And the *Wha-BOOM* of the Gravity hammer being swung.

** The *Vrmm-KRSSK* of picking up an Energy Sword.

** The split second charging up sound heard just before a plasma grenade explodes.
** The uplifting VRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sound of your shields recharging, especially when contrasted with the less than wonderful BOOP-BOOP-BOOP-BOOP sound of your shields being down.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. Playing as Terra, hitting Trance, hearing the wonderfully simple sound: "[[SuperMode Shiiing!]]", and knowing that ''everything is going to die''.
** To say nothing of the sound of a perfectly-executed Bum-Rush: "BYOO-BYOO-BYOO-BYOO-BYOO-BYOO-BYOO-BYOO!"

** The "BWANG" sound of the springs.
** The 1-up noise, which is more of an epic five-second orchestra than a sound effect.
** ''Sonic & Knuckles'' featured a very cool sound effect for charging lasers and teleporters. The developers must have liked it too, considering that it gets used at least once in every zone after the first.

---->'''Frederick:''' Pick a god and pray!

* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'': Every time [[MusicalAssassin Yōkinshi]] performs any kind of skill.

* ''VideoGame/GundamEvolution'' whenever your team scored a [[TotalPartyKill "Team Kill"]] as "The Entire Enemy Squad is Annihilated!", "That's a total team kill! Well done." and "All enemy squad members destroyed!"

* ''VideoGame/GundamEvolution'' whenever your team scored a [[TotalPartyKill "Team Kill"]] as "The Entire Enemy Squad is Annihilated!" or "That's a total team kill! Well done.".

** In the PS1-era games, the clicky, heavy, ratchety sound a key makes when you use it in a keyhole. It's so satisfying, like scratching an itch.

** Any sound related to a [[SavePoint bonfire]] is this, especially if you're far from your last one and have racked up a bunch of souls to cash in for a LevelUp.

** Zero Suit Samus's voice in general. Sexy, snarky, and full of confidence. [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish Being voiced by an actual American helps.]]
