This is a joke right? The odds of getting a demo like Legoland III running under *any* emulator at full capacity are pretty close to nill. Hell, the C64S can't even handle my 1993 release Lethargy correctly and that is simple compared to L3.

If Madman Software truly had a geniune : fear of piracy, they could have burned it onto a ROM cartridge similar : to Action Replay, but with better file management utilities. Sorry, but its not impossible to hack a cartridge. All you need is an Action Replay, a modified motherboard, a C64 you don't mind risking (just in case something goes wrong) and 6510 knowledge. Personally I just give any game I finish away.

The Hearsay 1000 is a rather neat little hardware speech synth/recog box. I believe you can toggle on/off the text-to-speech mode from the "menu." This only works for OS-"friendly= " programs (usually BASIC only). If you stiull have the disk that accompanies the hardware, you should be able to modify the phenomes a bit so it actually sounds like a human voice....
