kl99 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-Prototype-Unreleased-System-1-Game-Cart-Control-Panel-Relief-Pitcher/352196826880?hash=item5200911700:g:QVQAAOSwfglZ1Xaz You can see the TMS5220 Speech Chip on the first photo. Don't know much about this Atari system but my guess is that TI speech chips were rather unusual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think Atari used the TI speech chips in many games. Reading the "Memo and Status Reports" linked to from [http://www.jmargolin.com/vmail/vmail.htm] is interesting. Covers Atari's selection and introduction of the TI speech synth solution.

Dose anyone know what that sound effect is called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
