I've always wondered whether the MAME Galaxian sound is correct compared to an original. To me, the background 'hum' just sounds way too loud - drowning out the in-game sounds. Logically, I'd have thought Namco wouldn't have wanted to detract from the in-game sounds, so mine just seems to sound 'correct'.
So I've made a (poor) video of my Galaxian game simply to indicate the sound that mine makes - whether that be correct or incorrect. Hunting around on YouTube does seem to show some variation with the sounds and things like the Namco Collection for the PS1 are clearly not correct either (the hum just gets faster and faster which I'm sure is wrong). So even Namco can't be trusted!
If anyone has access to an original and can confirm either way, that would be nice to know. Link below:
