    Huh?  Since when did One-Armed Bandit and Milestones support the speech
toolkit?  I think you're getting speech synthesis ('talking' to the user)
mixed up with sound sampling.  Ken just made very good use of his HyperStudio
digitizer when he wrote OAB and Milestones (as well as Plunder, his other
Reliefware game).  It's not really talking to you, the speech is just a sound
effect in the game.
