Wow!  That's some pretty heavy comments.  It's merely a soundtrack... lighten up a little bit.   

I think I was pretty light last night, and possibly drunk with exhaustion when I wrote those passionate comments. Maybe you're right, this is no place for ones ideas, it is just a pinball hobby forum.

In my case, I have to be careful when the first comment in a thread says, "What are your thoughts?" I tend to give them out.

Keep it simple is the motto here, say it's cool or awesome or it's no good.

The thing that I love about that modification is it is all very doable. Like Pascal Janin's PI-1 X4 board for GTB sys1 that has an attract mode, skill shot etc. There are a lot of people capable of designing these systems. After all it is obsolete (not cutting edge) electronics. A bit more processing power, 2 channel DACs for stereo sound, new sound samples, etc.

Hi W. Bradley,

Could you possibly forward me information on who could potentially do sound work on my Gorgar.  I like my Gorgar but when you can breathe new life into something old and make it interesting for the newer generation, why not.

Sky, I don't know anyone personally who can do the job as a one off. There is a guy on the forum who has changed the voice calls on his WWF Wrestling machine. I guess he has software to produce compatible files of his own sound samples and burn them on a ROM. That would be pretty limited to the manufacturer and specific code their ROMs contain.
Incidently, the CPU controlled lighting has also been changed on this Gorgar demo.

There was a board coming to market that was supposed to be plug and play that allowa you to reprogram sound files but I don't think it ever went past the prototype stage. I would buy it for some of my early 80's SS machines if the price was reasonable.
