What did you guys use for a sound library? I am hearing a lot of old game audio and ambiance and would really like to know what library that is from.

Several came from The Original General Series 6000 sound effect library. Some of the sounds are open source now and some aren't but they were used in lots of games in the 90s, like Everquest, Daggerfall, Arena, Warcraft games, even Super Mario 3D Land used the same ding sound as Everquest. You can still purchase a license to the library today, or find the ones that are publicly available.

I suspected it might be the General 6000!

A lot of the Daggerfall / Arena / EQ sounds were a huge nostalgia blast. If you know which ones those came from or what public library i'd love to be directed towards it as I really would like to get my hands on a copy of them.

I'm trying to remember what game the "emote get" trumpet fanfare is from but I'm blanking. It's something I played as a kid. If anyone remembers I'd be very grateful if you could tell me which game it was. I feel like it was a game where you just clicked around on stuff.
