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?

  I remember the "Codemasters Jet Bike Simulator". I always found it impressive
  (And there was a "Get ready!" which I didn't remember)
