4am ❧

You will not believe the sound this 1985 Apple II educational software makes after animating the sperm uniting with the egg.

@herrprofdr so much worse than a power-on beep

@a2_4am ooh, wait... does it involve disk head movement?

@herrprofdr no, although in retrospect that would have been an amazing use of the medium

@sehugg I would have preferred that, actually

@a2_4am Electric Duet version of Let's Get It On?

@bhtooefr no but I would pay good money to hear that

@a2_4am you're going to share a video with the answer, right?

@david careful what you wish for, man

@a2_4am The voice sample from Creepy Corridors?

@a2_4am 😆 well you do not know if that *is* the actual sound, do you?! 😂

@a2_4am it *is* an arcadeic winning moment tho ;D

@a2_4am honestly that wasn't as bad as I was expecting

@bhtooefr it certainly could have been *worse*

@a2_4am I may not be a doctor, but that looks like an ectopic pregnancy to me.

@drew @a2_4am (Serious) It's normal... the fertilized egg then finishes traveling the Fallopian tube and attaches to the side of the uterus...

(Joke) ...with a crunchy 8-bit *boof* sound.

@mdhughes that is certainly one word for it!

@a2_4am so I was actually close in my guess of "Robotron circle noise"!

@a2_4am Out of what the A2 speaker is capable of (without deep magic), that's very far from the worst I can imagine!

@zellyn Okay but come on. 13-year-old, in 1985, in their sex ed class (taught by the gym teacher), booting up that disk, pressing space bar, and hearing that. Come on.

@a2_4am Is that drawn to scale and shouldn’t there be more of the little guys?

@Anoid we only draw winners here

@a2_4am I need to get this into MAME, pronto.

@a2_4am that was *EXACTLY* the sound I expected to hear from an Apple II!

@a2_4am I was thinking “weee gotcha!” from Dung Beetles

@Gmatom I should have phrased this as a "wrong answers only" poll, and you would have won.

@a2_4am Lode Runner completed level sound?
