    I have a memory of a Spectrum game playing some sort of synthesised speech through the speaker that seemed incredibly ahead of its time. I believe the game was called iBall. And the sample said something like “Fight iBall!” Have I misremembered that? Was this a fever dream?

      You might be right! I had a copy of 'Slightly Magic' which had some speech synthesis. Great game. Never completed it though
