- Same here. A definate classic, that one. The first time a friend of mine
- loaded it, his mum called out asking him to stop shouting!
-
- But my favourite 'quote' from the c64 these days _has_ to be from the
- intro to Turrican:
-
- Hello and welcome to Turrican.
- Be my guest.
- Another day, another try.
- But remember! SHOOT OR DIE!
- ha ha ha ha ha ha har...
-
- (and yes, I just loaded it to check 'but vs just' and count the ha's!
- Not to mention the joys of hearing it again, of course ;)
-
- The sample's about 95k nybbles long ($8xx..$c200) and lasts a tad over 10
- seconds at ~8Khz (easily high enough for the gravelly voice used)
-
- Now the next question, is how well can I compress a silly quote for the shmup
- I'll finish writing some day...
