    Background noise from a video arcade?

    Hello. I couldn't work out where to put this, so I thought I'd try the Blue Room. As you may know, I am the talentless warbler behind a videogame themed musical outfit. I'm playing a gig in London on the 18th (sort of.... sounds exotic, isn't really) but I need ambient sound from a videogame arcade as backing for one of the tracks and I can't find anything online. You know the jingling, jangling noises we all remember from our misspent youths? That sort of thing.

    Anyone got any bright idea where I could find something like this - preferably a long loop? Bit of an odd request I know....

    This'll get more traffic in OT I would imagine. Want me to shift it there?

        Weird, I was looking at the Arcade Ambience Project a couple of weeks back. I didn't download anything though so can't comment on what it's like but it seems like a decent place to start.
