Asking for Games

A while back I downloaded a Commodore 64 emulator to play some of the games of my youth. One of my favorites was Impossible Mission and Impossible Mission 2. One of the things that made these games distinct was the speech synthesis. When the game starts you hear a diabolical voice say, "Another visitor! Stay awhile...stay forever!"

Noah has picked up on that. He says, "Mishin...Mishin." And then he follows that with, "stay forever...tch tch tch." The "tch" is the rough phonetic of the sound the main character makes when he walks on the floor.

Also, in the sequel your character picks up short sequences of a song. All the pieces are the same tune, but they are played differently. One sounds like a harpsichord, another like an organ, etc. Noah and Lily love listening to the music and Noah even tried to hum along.

Yes, he is definitely my son.
