![]() Exactly. Access software was well known for realsound which was digitised sound over the computer speaker. For it's time, this game had amazing sounds!

![]() I think they indeed did something like that. They managed to tweak the PC speaker. I didn't notice this as my PC-speaker gets played through my regular speakers, but if anyone has a first hand experience with this! There was something about this om Mobygames...
But the 'real sound' doesn't improve the gameplay or lack of soundtrack, imho. |

![]() Well, the *sound* did improve my gameplay back then in 1991 or 1992. Not sure I will feel the same way now if I am to play it again, but back then it was awesome for me. Maybe I was just amazed at that time, since I had almost no prior gaming experience, so it was sort of a first time gaming thrill for me.

![]() At the time, normal sound coming from the pc speakers were just beeps and such. These guys managed to get digitised speach and sound to come out of it and I think that was a huge feat on their side. Nothing special these days, but a fantastic job then.

![]() This is one game i CAN NOT get to work! I'm run a Mac OS X system, and am trying to run it in both DosBOX and Virtual PC6, with no luck.
Any ideas/tips?? I actually used to really enjoy playing this game. While the reviewer doesn't enjoy the game, not only did I like the exciting sound effects (for the time), I enjoyed the cinematic plot that unfolded between levels... and in usual Access style, the guy gets the cute girl he saves. |

![]() Just wanted to mention that NARC was ported to NES, granted the graphics are pretty terrible on NES as well as the controls, but it was ported there.

![]() I believe I mays till have floppies somewhere that have this game on it. I played it in monochrome VGA and yes the sound was revolutionary in 1991. As stated , before this it was just different bleep tones, this was digitised explosions. I remember the higher frequency bits being very noticeable. I still had a lot of fun playing this game then. That was 15yrs ago! We have come a long way since!

![]() This game is depressingly bad, bad controls, bad graphics (even for 1990 they suck), and most importantly a horrendous story (I mean who though setting the game 5 years in the future was a brilliant idea :notrust

![]() Hey it's still an awesome game regardless, it's co-op was just as fun. Pretty surprising to see limbs flying in a nintendo licensed game.
