My Pico-8 game inspired by the 1980 Stern Electronics game and made possible by the excellent "Speako8 Speech Synthesis Library" by @bikibird - https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=116919#p

Great conversion! I think you forgot to put the funny phrase “Chicken, fight like a robot!”, when you exit a screen without killing any opponent.
thank you!
I had to be really picky about the speech phrases I used. Could get that one to sound intelligible unfortunately.
Great little game.
I pumped some serious coin into this thing back in the day...
I would like to be able to shoot when standing still.
You can. Hold X and then press a direction. Z (or [O] in pico-8) lets you run and fire at the same time.
Thanks I didn't catch that. :)
so cool...but how do you do the digital voice????
I used a library called speako8. See the link in the description above. It’s awesome!
sorry i don't pay attention to the description...thanks
