Remember the thread below on synthesized sound vs. digitized?

I'm having a geek-off with Tommy Tallarico.  What year was Metropolis?  You're not 
talking about the Arcadia/Mastertronic game are you?  That was pretty late...1987.

Thanks,
Hugh

What year was it?


First speech *synthesis* game for PC was Metropolis; for other

I didn't find the question THAT nerdy because you had a movie reference
to check.  If I asked a question like "What was the first game to use
speech SYNTHESIS (ie. not pre-recorded sound)?", then THAT would be


nerdy.
