Sample for sound effect?

General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

Sample for sound effect?

Does the Horace vs the Robots game use a sample for the laser sound?

Do any other games use samples for sound effects?

I don't know about Horace vs the Robots. Isn't it a game still in development?

But yes, some Spectrum games use samples - speech, effects... There are however some problems with them:

- they take a lot of memory
- they practically stop the game, it's very hard to do sampled sound of decent quality and do other things like animation in the same time

I was wondering how he got that sound,(there are videos of the game on youtube)
it doesnt sound like AY or Beeper, but I could be wrong.
