Way back before that I played Mattel's Intellivision's B-17 Bomber with the voice modulator that's pretty close to what I'm seeing here.

That was great, one of my favorite games on Intellivision.  I can still hear the voices, pretty great for early '80s tech.

"B-17 Boooooomber!"

Yep, I played the hell out of that game on Intellivision, second only to Dungeons and Dragons.  Remember how you had to press a button and then the number of arrows you had left had to be determined by counting the little clicks?

I do remember that. I loved that game! Stalking down corridors trying to find where that Dragon was.  :bd:

I vaguely recall playing Intellivision's B-17 game at Sears etc. We never got one, but I can't really complain: while our Atari 2600 was underpowered, we did eventually get a TI-994A as our first real computer.

TUNNELS OF DOOM HELL YEAH!  :D Took seven whole minutes by the clock to save that game on a tape cassette (and to load the save again), so we damn well played carefully. I seem to recall the cartridge was $99? -- my music teacher had bought it for her TI system, for no clear reason (she never used the computer either), and she essentially gave it to Bro and me on extended occasional loan.

Four-character tactical 2D battles from which the Gold Box series eventually cribbed heavily (the ideal party being two fighters, an archery thief, and a wizard), working our way down through procedurally generated 3D dungeon levels -- 99 of them in later Diablo style, with teleport systems to the surface every five levels. I know we beat the game once, maybe twice. But not usually!

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
