 Voice-Overs 


Company: 

Microprose

  

Project: 

Top Gun: Fire at Will!

  

Platform/Format: 

MS-DOS/Windows

  

Description: 

This voice-over is taken from a title called Top Gun: Fire at Will!, a flight game for PC compatibles. In the span of five months, 9,000 lines of dialog for this project were delivered through a tracking database and from it were produced scripts for over 20 recording sessions.

These voice-overs are played when the player completes missions, successfully or otherwise, in one segment of the game.

  

Notes: 

Top Gun: Fire at Will! is just one of many voice-over writing projects for games. Please inquire if you would like to see additional samples.
