FEATURING DIGITISER’S MR BIFFO
Who is Paul Rose?
Paul is probably better known as Mr Biffo – the creator of legendary teletext games magazine Digitiser. These days, he mostly writes his videogame ramblings over at Digitiser2000.com. If you want more Biffo in your eyes, you can catch him as the host of DigitizerTheShowat www.bit.ly/biffo2000.
Pac-Man’s“Waka-waka-waka”, the Space Invaders pulsing bass drone thing, Mario’s springy jump sound or the ‘ping!’ when he grabs a coin, Sonic The Hedgehog’s final gulps as his lungs fill with water… these are among the most iconic sound effects from gaming history.
