"Pinbot . . . stranded."

I stopped by the laundromat the other day for some pinball. Even though I hadn't probably even seen a Taxi pinball machine in close to twenty years, some of the game sounds were amazingly familiar. Especially the robotic voice pleading "Taxi taxi taxi! Pinbot . . . stranded."

It's the little things.

I had the same first hearing the sound of a Hang On video game made by SEGA, something about 1985, a few years ago. Very neglected, but it seems to have worked. Put a smile on my face. :-)
