Hi, Yeah, spiders do sound strange. They were effects James North made. I have ben on the lookout for something better, but haven't found anythingthat sounds, well, spiderish. As I was saying on the USA Games list Kate is good, but the new Scansoft voices that ship with Jaws would also be cool.

Hi Raul, Chucckle. Yeah, some of the ATT voices down right are terrible. I was thinking if some of us still want a Brittish accent for the game and avoid Audrey we could use Scansoft Karin which is a very clear and high quality sounding U.K. voice. It would have the flare of the original game,
