personally given the genre of the game a brittish female with only a slight accent might do better than allison. Of course if you are clever (set(language) or whatever) and have the user select the voice that reads might be interesting. That way you can get a sean connery sound-a-like or a patrick stewart sound-alike or whatever for some callers and females for others ... Then if you get into translations so its in native languages to different callers ... Could really turn into something. But of course you would want to add more than just zork (and infocomm games for that matter). A MMRPG game played over the phone where people can go into a 'tavern' (voice bridge) and other stuff might do well too. That way you arent all alone in the virtual world. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast IE +44 28 9099 6461 DE +49 801 777 555 3402 Utrecht NL +31 306 553058 US WA +1 360 207 0479 US NY +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.trxtel.com we pay you to terminate calls with us!
