China Miner

Speech

The game initially featured speech, from a routine contributed by a Dutch coder whose name is not currently known. However, two months later a US company claimed rights to the algorithm and ordered the game to be pulled from sale. Curiously, all known downloads in circulation are of the speechless second version, despite the previous one having been on sale for several weeks.
