Talk:Bosconian

message: The name "Bosconian" is probably a reference to the enemies from E.E. 'Doc' Smith's Lensman series.

This page uses a bunch of other names from the series to describe the ships:

message: Stop vandalizing this entry, the speech in Bosconian is definitely as follows (100% certain):
* Blast Off
* Alert Alert
* Battle Stations
* Spy Ship Sighted
* Condition Red (repeats)
The speech data is encoded as 4-bit monoaural PCM in ROM.
STOP CHANGING IT.
I have the Bosconian ROMs for MAME and when enemies approach, the game clearly says "Alive! Alive!" And when a spy ship is sighted, it says "Space Invading!" Gingerfield sucks 10:27, 12 January 2006
No it does not, I have played the real game in the arcade and various emulators and the speech is exactly as I have listed. It says "Alert Alert" to alert you that enemies are approaching, the stupid thing you keep putting in doesn't even make sense. Stop vandalizing this and other Namco games entries with your inaccurate garbage.
I hav a version that says nothing but the background music changes wen red alter comes or theres an enemy ect. but this is a 5 game pack box with a joystick and a button so it differs from the original arcade version you can also only move in four directions instead of eight eliminating the diagnol options.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.224.237.75 (talk) 04:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I could believe both "Alarm" and "Alert."  To my ears, it sounds like "Alart," an obvious mispronounciation that isn't surprising in a Japanese game.  There is no planet anywhere in the universe on which it sounds like "Alive."  Which doesn't even make sense. Nandesuka 21:58, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Correction: The third one is right. After listening carefully, it did say "Battle stations." The second one is still wrong. I listened carefully and it indeed says "Alive! Alive!" 75.62.141.83 (talk) 21:12, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I played Bosconian before and there is no speech! I think there is a revised version that was made. This article is dumb because it says that every version of Bosconian has the speech when the game does not. In Correct (talk) 04:09, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You are completely incorrect. The game has always featured speech in both the arcade version and the majority of the ports. No idea what you are talking about.Namcokid47 (talk) 18:39, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
