It’s easy to choose a new category, fast to mix on the fly to achieve something new and exciting, and the tunes/sounds are not as repetitive as initially expected.

I love myNoise, and this is probably the best background creator you’ll find for playing a solo gamebook. The ‘Gregorian Chant’ is perfect for an epic fantasy adventure, ‘Japanese Garden’ is a must for your samurai- or ninja-themed game, and ‘Twin Black Lodges’ will make any horror game an unforgettable nightmare!

This is also a listen-in-the-browser service, but with a pretty nifty mixer, some truly interesting categories and features some high quality sounds. MyNoise is one of the more interesting – and in my opinion, the best – ambient background creators out there. MyNoise – high quality ambiance for any game genre There’s too few arcade- and pinball-themed gamebooks available (I know, I wrote one!), so this style of background atmosphere may not be suitable for your experience – but there are other services out there that will do the trick. You’ll find arcade games, pinballs, some additional voices and atmosphere – enough to get some really interesting gaming going! Here you can choose ambient background sound from 1981, 1983, 19 arcade halls. The Arcade Ambiance Project is one of these sites. Beer, chicken wings and popcorn only go so far, but with some cool audio sending you back into that ’80s arcade of endless noise, colour and excitement – that’s when you’re really starting to have fun!Ī while back I noticed that more and more websites were popping up with different types of atmospheric sounds. Sure it’s fun to play some games with your friends, but it’s even better when you have the right atmosphere. The reason why I stumbled upon adding background noise is because I own an arcade game and a pinball machine (1979’s Totem by Gottlieb). Today, however, there are numerous websites to do all that for you! Back when I was Game Mastering the Swedish contemporary horror RPG Kult, I would enhance the player experience by triggering audio samples on an Amiga 1200, use special mix CDs, and queue specific film scenes to add flavour and mood to the game. Atmosphere is everything when it comes to gaming, especially in gamebooks and role-playing games where you are an active participant within an imaginative game world.
