Two very quick questions about two very old computer games (Silpheed and Thexder)

[Hamish]

Perusing the various video game threads, I was reminded of two questions from my game-playing childhood.

1. What is the computerized voice in Silpheed saying at the very beginning, when the metallic face appears. My Tandy 1000 HX reproduced that voice as a series of metallic rasps sounding vaguely like a hymn being hummed by a 7-pack-a-day-for-40-years smoker. I’ve heard mention of subtitles, but there certainly weren’t any on my machine.

2. How does the original Thexder end? Both in terms of what the final battle looks like, and any concluding text/scenes…?

Thank you in advance.

I had the same issue on my IBM 286.
