    Fun fact. The original sound file for “SEGA” that played right before you started some of the original Genesis titles was larger than the games themselves.

    Looks like we’re returning to tradition.

      For me, that is a very fun fact. I can hear that “SEGA” in my head. Now it seems obvious, but little kid me didn’t understand why we had such amazing graphics and sound, but so few spoken words.

      The video game goddesses “sega” and the dude gods “rise from the grave” are probably the earliest I remember.

      “Finish Him” from Mortal Kombat was also genesis no? “Round 1, FIGHT!” I think was street fighter, but for me at least sf2 on SNES was my intro to that series…

      Anywhoots I’m less mad now about balders gate 3 asking me to pick a voice for my character that it (so far, for me) uses for literally none of the dialog options.

          First one that I heard that comes to my mind is Super Smash TV on the SNES.

          “BIG MONEY. BIG PRIZES. I LOVE IT.”

          “I’D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR.”

          “GOOD LUCK. YOU’LL NEED IT.”
