Referring back to the original discussion from 2013: I know who the speech guy is! It's RENE (whoever that may be)
Check this screenshot from the Oh Shit! .cas image from the msxcas archive:
;)
(Not sure from which version/release of the game this .cas dump originates?)
Please John, upload it to YouTube !
Use the fade-out to finish the song !
Love to hear it.
Who was the "voice actor" of MSX game "Oh Shit!" ... and was it the same one who did the other games by ByteBusters/Aackosoft (Snake It, etc.)?
Just being curious here since I have a few names but I'm not sure they did the voices. I guess it was a Dutch guy?
It is me
I knew "Oh, no!" long before "Oh, shit!".
Another memory: The penguin scream was phenomenal. It put me in the same state when I was losing a game.
I looking for the game that says "Game Over, plus d'énergie!" when a game is over (yes, half in French). I only remember this voice from the game so I can't give more details.
@rvanderputten who is RENE then?
@ TheNoiseCollector: I'm sorry, must have missed your post back then. I could have a look.
@ gdx: Maybe it could be this:

Or by the same developer?
No, I didn't know Docteur Galaxie.
Would be fun though to know exactly how they recorded and played the digitized speech since they were kind of the only ones doing it back then.
I remember North Sea Helicopter as the first time I encountered their speech feature. I was amazed.
Not only by the ambition of making a working helicopter simulator but also having space left in the RAM to store the samples.
My guess is they used the MSX Tape port as a sampler, just like we did in The Yellow Alert Demo.
@rvanderputten who is RENE then?
I'm guessing René Neuteboom, who also is credited voicing Jet Bomber.
Though in the comments or https://www.msx.org/news/media/en/interview-with-mr-martin-d... Ronald van der Putten says it was all him? :RNFF:
