[QUOTE="Trackball, post: 251710, member: 5924"] So, to make sure my ears weren't deceiving me, I got Last Action Hero on Visual Pinball, so I could compare and contrast the music and sound without the mechanical noises getting in the way. Holy cow, you guys were right--it DOES sound really different there. The main theme is still recognizable as AC/DC's Big Gun, but the instrumentation is so different than what we hear in TPA. Is there some audio incompatibility issue with the emulators used in TPA and SPA, making both of them sound different from the real thing? I don't understand. It can't be licensing--we have the AC/DC license now...unless, maybe it was only for the 12 songs used in their machine, not Big Gun. I have my doubts there, because the high-score theme is EXACTLY the way it's heard in TPA...but not SPA, which uses a different one that doesn't sound like a chiptune. It's like it came straight from the movie soundtrack. It's hard to explain. Either way, I owe you guys an apology. It is different. You were right, I was wrong. I'm sorry. [/QUOTE]
