Today marks the first iPhone / iPod Touch application - AllYourBase - from Think Bulbs to go on sale. It's a simple app that gives you hours of fun in parties, at home, at work, at school, or even your geeky professor's group meeting! For those who are not familiar with All Your Base, the sensation started on the Internet around eight years ago, when a third-party robotic soundtrack came out for the horrible English translations of Sega's Zero Wing. Our app lets you play the funniest lines from the game in a number of ways - click-to-play, timed and movement-sensitive playback. It's a great way to surprise your friends with "Hahah!" or keep your kids from your precious iPhone / iPod Touch with a robotic "You have no chance to survive make your time!"
We also figured there will be people who feel that we have ruined the AYB legacy by introducing an alternative voice, which, unlikely the original voice, is not synthesized. It's almost like an innocent person telling you something hopeless like "You are on your way to destruction, HAHAHA". We understand that people will still want the original (synthesized) version, but even if it is reproduced, it will still be a violation of copyright of the original track. On the other hand, we spent a lot of time on different tools such as Audacity and various filtering techniques like ring filters, comb filters, simple distortions, etc. The recording we have is one of the best we could come up with. Unfortunately, we are well aware that it is far from perfect, and, without a real sound engineer on our team, we can only humbly learn from our users and reviewers about how to improve the voice. So, please keep the reviews and comments coming! We look forward to improving AllYourBase to make it a good escape from reality by injecting loads of laughter in virtually any place.
