Here's the Story of RoboCop, the video game, based in the 1987 blockbuster movie. It went on becoming the most successful title from Ocean Software.

Good post! Many thanks

'You only get one life' - this must be the most realistic version then. :)
I remember the Ariston advert AND music...I had no idea the music was from a computer game.
The same C64 loading music was used in other ocean games too.

Thanks for your feedback, guys! Appreciate it! :)

Nice video thanks. We had the Spectrum version here too and when I saw the Ariston advert I immediately recognised the music and was shocked that they were using computer game music in a TV advert.

Awesome SID thanks Modizer!

Portuguese?

thanks for sharing. enjoyed it!

I thank you all for watching! :) And, yes! I'm Portuguese ;)
Cheers!

Two Portuguese in one thread. Brilliant, can you clear this up for me guys? Why does spoken Portuguese sound Slavic in its pronunciation compared to other Latin languages?
My wife is Argentinan and the way they pronounce Spanish has a similar sound compared to other Spanish speakers too.

Not sure why... but is it hard to understand?
Thanks for watching and for your comment! ;)

No not hard to understand at all. I just find it interesting how Portuguese is pronounced.
Good video, thanks.

I find it odd that after having heard catalan I find it more closer to how we sound then actual Castilian, regarding Slavic I didn't even knew... got to check it out! :)

I see, you're talking regarding Portuguese English pronunciation. I've found an interesting link on the subject (https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/in-english-why-does-a-portuguese-accent-sound-slavic.2835910/).
It's the general sound structure of the language... In both Portuguese and Russian there is a strong tonic accent with stressed vowel sounds having open and closed quality and the vowels in other syllables are quite reduced into different types of schwas, /%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!601;/ and /%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!592;/, or else even clipped off. In addition there are many soft consonants that are the same in both languages: for example, %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!643; %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!679; %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!658; %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!597; z v. Palatalized consonants are noticeably quite frequent. Actually the two languages are remarkably similar in sound. It's not surprising that speakers might have similar accents in English.
The sounds of Spanish are quite different: 5 mid-closed vowels with the same quality in each syllable. It's a syllable timed language with no syllable reduction giving it a staccato rhythm. Palatalized consonants are completely absent but weakened approximants like %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!946; ð %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!611; abound. Spanish actually mirrors modern Greek quite well, but sounds totally different than Portuguese.

Very interesting! :) Thanks for sharing, pixie!

I would have thought hearing your accent that you would be eastern European.
Portugal? Never.

cool video

Thanks again, guys! Truly appreciate it!

@PixelTHING (http://www.amiga.org/forums/member.php?u=19445)
Thanks that was great! Brings back memories of the Hollywood Collection for the Atari ST back when I thought it was comparable to the Amiga! Robocop though was fairly identical on both formats. The digitised Robocop voice at the start was a highlight was was the shooting range mini games ;-) Great licensed game second only to Batman The Movie!

Not just when a Portuguese speaks English but even the Portuguese language itself sounds Slavic. One side of our family is Bosnian and I swear I couldn't tell the difference between both languages being spoken lol

It's fascinating to me how languages develop alongside one another in close proximity yet can sound so different despite looking pretty much identical in written form.
My wife's family make fun of the way Spaniards speak Castillian with an effeminate lisp (Thilly Thauthages vs Silly Sausages) and claim that Rio Platense Spanish is "correct Spanish" despite it being mostly Italian. Similar to how some USAians say the same about their corrupted form of English.
Crazy colonists! Lol

Awesome work PixelTHING :D
really enjoyed the backstory behind Ocean and impressed at the amount of coverage of the different ports to different systems :)

Your feedback is really important! Thank you so much, guys! Appreciate it! :)
