TI Speech Synthesizer Module
Release Date: 1/1/1979

In the early 1980s, TI was known as a pioneer in speech synthesis, and a highly popular plug-in speech synthesizer module was available for the TI-99/4 and 4A. Speech synthesizers were offered free with the purchase of a number of cartridges and were used by many TI-written video games (notable titles offered with speech during this promotion were Alpiner and Parsec). The synthesizer used a variant of linear predictive coding and had a small in-built vocabulary. The original intent was to release small cartridges that plugged directly into the synthesizer unit, which would increase the device’s built in vocabulary. However, the success of software text-to-speech in the Terminal Emulator II cartridge canceled that plan. (Most speech synthesizers were still shipped with the intriguing door that opened on the top, although very few had the connector inside. There are no known speech modules in existence for those few units with the connector.) In many games (mostly those produced by TI), the speech synthesizer had relatively realistic voices. As an example, Alpiner’s speech included male and female voices and could be quite sarcastic when the player made a bad move.

The 2nd part of our 2nd episode (we did two-parters at first!), blow up toys in this drug-enduced fantasty world of mirth and mayhem.

You are some coked up kid with a creative imagination. And by imagination we mean completely insane.

The Sega Dreamcast was way ahead of it’s time and Dave even said it was Time Magazine’s game system of the year or something. Whatever. This game is pretty neat to revisit after a decade though.

Classic Game Room was the 1st Classic Video Game review show on the Internet back in 1999 and 2000. They reviews Atari, Sega Genesis, Dremcast, NES, Playstation 1 and Atari Jaguar games. Their story is now on DVD at places like Amazon.com

The game incorporates “origins” for each race and some classes. For example, a Dwarf Noble begins the game as part of the royal family in one of the dwarven cities, whereas the Dwarf Commoner origin story begins on the streets of the city. Origin stories determine the background of the player’s character prior to the main events of the game’s story, forming an introduction to the world while also comprising hours of play. Characters that the player meets during the origin story may reappear throughout the game, some of whom may be adversaries.

There is no tracking of alignment as in previous BioWare games,but the moral choices of the player will still affect the story throughout the game. The player will save the world regardless of choosing to be good or evil, but the decisions that the player makes in the process will change the game world accordingly deciding who will become King, for example, and affecting nations and races and their places in the world. These decisions will also influence the companion NPCs, possibly causing an NPC to leave the party or even attack the player if they disagree strongly with your actions.

As with the Baldur’s Gate series, players are able to issue orders to NPCs in real time, but pause the game to queue up actions such as spells and special attacks.

There are three base classes to choose from: the rogue, the warrior, and the mage.These classes can be upgraded later into a specialized class, such as the Berserker or Templar for the warrior class,and Shapeshifter or Blood Mage for the mage.The game uses a party system similar to that of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, in that it features the main character with up to three active party members, chosen from a large pool of NPCs in the game. The camera is in an over-the-shoulder third person view when zoomed in, and an isometric-style view when zoomed out, though the console versions cannot zoom out to the extent of the PC version. The spells in the game interact with the effects of others, such as a blizzard spell putting out the flames caused by hitting something with a grease spell and then a fire spell.
