I have played this game on the Atari ST. Otherwise, I agree with the above
description. The voice often has nothing to do with what is happening - it
has been known to say "Good shooting!" and no-one has fired a shot! I liked
what it wrote on the screen - "If it moves, shoot it - if it doesn't, blast
it!"

One of my favourite sayings from a game came from the old arcade game, "Gorf".
This was one of the things it would say when the game was over - 
 "Try again - I devour coins!"
