Lil' Flip
I know I talked about sampling recently, but I have to bring it up one more time for Lil' Flip. Today I was in the car and heard this hip hop song using samples from Pac-Man, and it made my ears very happy, so I blasted it. The song is called "Game Over," and you can watch the video here. If I remember correctly, it uses the basic sound Pac-Man makes when he eats regular pellets (not power pellets), and I believe I caught the noise of ghosts' eating Pac-Man too.

see if you can find a copy of 'mac man' by beanie sigel. it uses the wokka-wokka sample, too, and the verses all transform references to old video games into drug dealer jargon.
Game Over
I had the same reaction you did, Clancy, and bought the song a few months ago from the iTunes music store. It's absolutely awesome -- and, actually, it uses the power pellets and ghost-gobbling sounds, as well, and some Donkey Kong noises too. Unfortunately, it's in Apple's proprietary AAC format, but I can export it to a Quicktime .mov file or burn it to CD and send it to you, if you like. (Caveat: I also bought Petey Pablo's "Freek-A-Leek" and Hayseed Dixie's hillbilly cover of "Back in Black" from the iTMS at the same time, just so's you know how horrible my musical tastes are.)

Re: Game Over
Sure, bring on the music! I'd prefer a CD; do you still have my address?
Monkey Island
Not sure if you've heard the "Monkey Island (AmIEvil OCReMix)"?

I think it's beautiful, makes me wanna be a pirate, cultural or otherwise.
