    I remember reading somewhere that the AY chip could produce better quality digitised speech than the 48k sampling methods, is there any truth to this and is there any software to utilise such a function?

    "Yippee!" shouted the little spider-thing in Splat! There was also "Punchy" which had "That's the way to do it" among others. They were both released late '83. Were there any that came before that with speech in it?

    Starglider 128k had a host of additions; digitised speech, extra missions, extra enemy, different fonts, title music, and slight changes to gameplay (no rear view until you pick up the scanner - in the 48k you had rear view all the time).

  • Quotes from Speccy GamesTry to find this one: "No Sax please, We are Egyptians!"

    Here's a digitised speech quote:

    "Gotta play!"

    Although it sometimes sounded to me like "corn flakes!"

    In fact the speech was so scuzzy it could have been anything. It was as soon as you loaded the game.

    ETX by Abbex worked in 16K, but on a 48K machine it also loaded that godawful digitised speech which in my opinion wasn't worth the extra loading time.

  • I love the 48k tune from...full throttle 2. Those arpegiated chords with vibrato

    It's sort of naff and beepy but I'm pretty fond of the karaoke style opening tune on Ghostbusters (not forgetting the advanced digitised speech of course).
