Wow nice collection. I'm glad they aren't skimping on quanity or

quality of games. I've skipped many collections like this because they

just weren't good value. Hopefully a PC version will eventually come

out as I recently decided to get rid of my PS2...

Yeah, but where the hell is Wizard of Wor? Have not seen that game on a system in about 20 years.

 

Give us Worriors a break, Midway!

Maybe it has something to do with this:
Add the voice to Wizard of Wor? Not unless you can emulate a chip that's been out of production for 20 years, for which the only known documentation is an old, threadbare data sheet written in Japanese and cribbed from a former Sanyo employee.
That's from the MAME FAQ. They could probably get away with using the samples, I would think, but if the Wizards of MAME can't do it, I wonder if anyone can.

If Digital Eclipse was the developer, they'd find a way. The samples work pretty well on MAME.
