   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?

      Robocop was another game with sampled speach, not yet mentioned:

      There were a few games (in later years) with speach&#x2F;audio. But Robocop was one that stands in my memory for the good music.
