    I can't see the list for whatever reason ... but I think the NBA Jam announcer definitely should've been listed.

    Some other great ones:


    Blades of Steel:

    *schwing!* Blades of steel

    Hit the pass!

    Arrgh!


    Super Metroid:

    The last metroid is in captivity...

    The galaxy...is at peace.


    Starfox:

    Scramble, Scramble, Scramble.


    and honorable mention (technically doesn't count cause if you beat the game you meet the guy...but honestly I bet less than 1/100th of the people who remember/know this game haven't beaten it

    Impossible Mission:

    Another visitor! Stay a while.....stay forever!!! Hahaha!

    Oh man! I remember Blades of Steel!

    I had a friend who had that and Double Dribble which had a similar voice.


    Good old Starfox... "EMERGENCY EMERGENCY... INCOMING ENEMY FIGHTERS - PREPARE FOR LAUNCH!" and then it's video game gibberish the rest of the way except for Andross' cackling, haha...

    They missed two others:

    GTA 1 & 2: "Gouranga!" "Elvis has left the building!"

    Steve Richie's Shao Khan voice will always be number one. The fake "deep" voice they use now that I believe is supposed to be Onaga is terrible by comparison.

    Never forget.


    With the Gauntlet guy, my favourite video game voice ever (seriously, I would kill to sound like him), the list was only missing one thing...

    "I don't feel like I fit into their core demographic (Maxim readers)"


    I have no clue why, but that made me laugh HARD. I'd love to see "Maxim readers" as a key demographic alongside "Male 18-40" or "Hispanic middle-class female".


    Yeah, I find humor where there should be little to none. It can be an awkward trait.

    I thought the MK annoucer (at least early on) was supposed to be Shao Kahn.


    Eh. Whatever. If it weren't for the final moments, I'd have said GLaDOS.

    God, I hate to be the geek to add this, but wasn't the announcer in the first MK Shang Tsung, just as Shao Kahn was the announcer in the next two games?

    @Saliu: 7 is a MASTER COMBO!! and 9 is not brutal, 9 is BLASTER!! one of computerized-Riptor's favorites.


    My personal favorite KI quote is when you humiliate someone. To this day I'm not quite sure what he says (I think its "humiliation" but who the hell knows. Sounds cool regardless).


    Also I'm wondering where the NBA Jam announcer is. "Monster Jam!" "From Downtown!" "Ugly shot!"


    And to enter the pantheon of horrible announcers, that has to include the Waverace 64 announcer. *shudder*
