PENGO ROMs.
Chuck Cochems
It seems that the available archives of the PENGO ROMs are not the
much-favored "Popcorn" music variety. The Pengo emulator author can't
find them, and desperately wants them. Does any of you people witha rom
reader own a pengo that plays "Popcorn" in mid level like every home
translation I can find?
I'v tried the emulator, but have only found versions without Popcorn. I
*like* popcorn. :)
Besides, I'm sure a lot of people who DO own the Popcorn ROMs would like
a backup on tant to retreive.
Now, I'm not entirely convinced it isn't a dip switch setting to enable
popcorn, as I don't have a real arcade, but if it's a function of the
sound roms, people want the popcorn version...

PS: TO the Pengo emulator author: PLEASE ADD A VOLUME CONTROL!!! EVERY
TIME I LOAD IT IT BLASTS MY EARS OUT LIKE THIS! It does'nt matter what
the mixer volume is, when I run the Pengolator, it ALWAYS MAXES the
volume and blasts my ears out (my card has no rear volume knob, and I'm
using unpowweres speakers...)
P.P.S. To David Spicer. We would like an update on the progress of
your wonderful EmuLater. I'd love to see someone outdo the guy who's
outdoing Marat's game gear emulator.

Dear Chuck,
I have a version (pirate?) of Pengo called Penia, but what is Popcorn music??
From memory, it played the same theme as a shareware version of Dig Dug I had
for the PC that was also the same as the opening theme to a science TV program
in the UK.
Best regards,
Paul.

My Pengo upright plays Beethoven between levels... I believe it's a portion
of the 9th Symphony... I'd be curious to find out what this "Popcorn" music is...
I've never heard anything other than the 9th...

Here in Italy, I never heard anything other than "Popcorn" on all Pengo's I
have met.
Ciao,
Rick

Anyone with a "Popcorn" Pengo machine want to sample the music and
make it available? I'd really like to hear what it sounds like. I'd be glad
to do the same with my machine and make the wav files available...

I think I have the "Popcorn" single somewhere... maybe I can find it
and sample that (easier).

hmmmm,
the pengo i played at arcades used to play popcorn in the levels,
not in the interludes....
you can download "popcorn" in midi-format from
ftp://ftp.mpx.com.au/m1/moremods/incoming/midi/popcorn.mid
it`s not the best midi-file but you will remember if you
ever heard it.....
maybe it was only a hit here in europe ?!?

nope, it was popular in the states as well
it was done by either Jean Jaque Perry of Gershan Kingley in
the early 70's under the name 'Hot Butter'

The music in the GAME GEAR version of PENGO is perfect. Including
Popcorn on the lower levels, and alternating with another song the
higher the level you get. Come to think of it the GG PENGO is pretty
accurate to the arcade in most all respects !

Hello,
I have access to a board that plays the original popcorn music. I have already
read the ROMS off my original Pengo board - but this has some weird Z80 which
means it probably won't work with the emulator. Keep meaning to pop round to
my friends who had my previous ( verbatim ) copy of pengo with a 'normal' Z80.
Will try and do this very soon ( I promised this before - sorry ). Will post
them to Procyon asap.

I played Pengo quite a bit here in the US and it always played the same
music as the emulator does. The only version that I remember playing
Popcorn was the C64 version. Perhaps some are getting these confused?

And the song on the flip side was "At the Movies".
And, NO, I'm NOT making this up! Have the record somewhere.

You must have played a different GG version than I did; I've played both
and I think the Game Gear blows in comparison to the original. Yeah,
it's fun, but accurate? No way!

I am going to attempt to sample the music from my Pengo game,
as I don't believe any of it is the "Popcorn" music that is being
referred to. (I downloaded a Popcorn MIDI file and I had never
heard it before...) I will sample both the music that is played during
the level and the music that is played during the intermissions.
I will post the files when they're ready (hopefully is a day or two...)

All the UK Pengo arcade units I have seen, both recently and 10 years ago
played POPCORN and not the emulator tune.
