   I've been playing Vanguard, which features quite a bit of it. "Bon Voyage", "Commence Attack", "Danger Zone" and a couple others.

   Berzerk featured the famous "Intruder Alert!", Sinistar had a lot of stuff, Gauntlet had "Elf needs food" or somesuch when the health was low.

   A lot of smaller games replicate the gameplay of older games, but almost all of them are as quiet as a morgue. (The exception, A Space Shooter for Two Bucks and Apache Overkill.)

   But I think a few lines of speech, synthesized or not, adds a lot to the game.

   I had Spike for the Vectrex and that was the main selling point for the game, that it had speech in it.

   Now I sometimes wish some games would shut up.

   I much prefer games to have a story to provide background and context, so I definitely appreciate it when a game has characters that interact with the player (either textually or verbally).

   ASS42B was hilarious! :-)

   Games like that scare me, because I often find myself talking back! Whenever I played R: Racing Evolution for the PS2 I would frequently argue with the team manager when he would call out my mistakes during a race. He is such a freaking backseat driver.

   P.S.
   DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGER ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

   Sinistar had a lot of stuff

   Hehe, there are two reasons you don't forget your first encounter with Sinistar:

   1. You were traumatized by the Sinistar suddenly appearing out of nowhere and chomping down on your ship.

   2. You were traumatized by the Sinistar mocking, threatening, and finally outright screaming at you.

   Either way, it probably made you leave a puddle on the floor.

   Nexus, you had a Vectrex? Sweet! Quite a unique system.

   I never had an Intellivision, but did anyone here have the Intellivoice module? I've played some of the games that supported it, in a PC collection. "B-17 Baaaahmberrrr."
