I loved this arcade machine and the crappy sounds of the dinosaurs (really awesome back in the day)

This looks and sounds amazing! How do you play this game these days?

1985s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Arcade game by Atari has some funny sounding digitized voice clips, it works in some parts and sounds like they are having a heart attack in others.

It's on emulation. There are many packs with thousands of arcade machine roms than run on any potato computer or even mobile, though I bought an old arcade machine for these.

Elf needs food - badly.

Does the intro to Blood Money count..?

 

[Sophist]

Star Ocean on super nes had dialogs during the opening scene.
Mortville manor (atari st, 1987) had audio dialogs:

SINISTAR

Immediatly thought of this, I played it in the early 1990"s and it was still cool as hell then.

And right here in my hand currently...

Gotta love it when you get good sequels.

I was going to mention that one. You only heard the speech the first time it was loaded up (maybe the game uncompressed something into the space occupied by the speech).

The first time I heard it, I was so amazed that I loaded it again to make sure I hadn't imagined it.

I often loaded and reloaded the game to marvel at it. I guess the memory was reused after the sample played hence why it only happened on first load.
I couldn't get my head around how it was done at the time.

Blades of Steel

So good. I can close my eyes and hear this as clearly as though I had just booted up the cartridge.

Blehves zov shteel!

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I'm bad!

 

[xrnzaaas]

Super Robin Hood on the Amstrad CPC 464 has some interesting very low quality speech samples

I was about to post this thing, probably the first game where I encountered speech. I still remember how cool it was instead of just hearing simple clicky sounds or music.

I still have my voice module for my Intellivision

 

[Bigfroth]

This game blew me away as a kid lol.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Many PS1 games and 90s PC games.

My first suspicion was that it was just recorded on the tape. The intro tune is permanently etched into my brain due to how many times I heard it.

The programmer is still active on the ZX Spectrum Next, somebody should ask him how he did it (not that I'm likely to understand the answer).

Never waste a chance to post some Bayou Billy

I would rescue her.

A little later than the 80's but still valid

Several Genesis games feature voices, even if the voices are hoarse.



Interestingly, this channel has made other compilations:




I always remember that bizarre game, BallZ 3D, which had a song sung in the opening.



The SNES version is completely NSFW. Imagine the mothers hearing this when they see their son playing.

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

Speech ?
Tales of Phantasia (SFC) had a complete song :

 

[MooMilk2929]

Forgot to mention Gex.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

I remember Ghostbusters II game had some snippets from the movie (which all sounded like Bane in a bathroom)

 

[Gurgeh]

The spectrum game Splat! from 1983

Reminds me of Xenon 2, which came on two discs for the Amiga. The first disc being just the sampled Bomb the Bass intro song.

This is the funniest thing I've encountered in a short while. Thank you. It's parts "Star Wars bar alien talks" and parts "Japanese influencer with Down Syndrome commentates." A treasure, regardless.
