The "Special" sound ROM chip set for Star Trek: The Next Generation includes a custom game ROM chip and six sound ROM chips that contain custom quotations by the actors from the TV show and movies. These custom quotes can be turned on/off for game play, so you can use either the standard quotations, or the custom quotations, by enabling/disabling one of the adjustment menu settings.
The chip set consists of a special game ROM chip (a modified LX7 version for location U6 on the CPU board) and 6 special sound/speech ROM chips for the sound board.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
- When replacing the original sound ROM chips in your game, remove all 7 original chips (U2 through U8) and install the 6 custom sound ROM chips (U2 through U7). Note that the custom set does not use a U8 chip, and this location on the sound board should be empty when the custom sound ROM chip set is installed.
- The custom game ROM chip should replace the original chip at location U6 on the MPU board.
- After installing the chips properly, and confirming the game boots up and runs, go into the menu system and enable the custom speech feature by changing setting # 28 in the A.2 menu in game adjustments. Without doing this, the game will just play the original "factory" sounds and speech.
This custom chip set contains "custom" speech quotes, by the original Star Trek: TNG actors, and it is rumored that they were produced to go in games that were made and given to the ST:TNG actors, and/or person(s) at Paramount Pictures. Some of the quotes are the actors addressing, or "talking" to themselves. Other names referenced in the quotes are names of the actors' family members. (See below for more info.)
Regular production ST:TNG games did not have these "custom" ROMs installed.
Here is a list of quotes that are included in this ROM version. Again, these were done by the original ST:TNG actors. These quotes are played/heard during events throughout game play:
- Dr. Crusher: "Do you have medical insurance?"
- Dr. Crusher: "Do you realize most of my patients die?"
- Dr. Crusher: "Hello mama, my name is Jack."
- Dr. Crusher: "James Cleveland, James Cleveland."
- Dr. Crusher: "Hello Mama, my name is Jack" w/ piano.
- Dr. Crusher: "James Cleveland, James Cleveland" w/piano.
- Generic computer voice: "Initiate Stimulation."
- Geordi: "Sweetie, that'll be enough of this."
- Geordi: "It's great to be a black man in the 24th century."
- Picard: "Space the final frontier." (Elmer Fudd type voice)
- Picard: "Space the final frontier." (different voice)
- Picard: "Where would you like to put in now Q?"
- Picard: "Brilliant Patrick."
- Picard: "Beyond belief Patrick."
- Picard: "Fantastic Patrick."
- Picard: "Well Done Patrick."
- Picard: "We will never surrender unless you pay us enough."
- Q: "Owen, you are nothing but a big fat bum."
- Q: "Ok Keegan, you butthead, let's see you really play this game."
- Q: "Ryan, I'm gonna come out and squeeze your neck."
- Q: "If you aren't good boys I'll come out and freeze you."
- Q: "Ok kids its time to do your homework."
- Riker: "Let me ask you one quick question...is this the edge of reality?"
- Riker: "Beanie & Cecil are one."
- Troi: "Honey, surfs up dude."
- Picard: "Hello Patrick, it's so good to see you again...I'm glad the two of us are together...you mean so much to me...I hope you have fun...good luck."
- Worf: "Hello Mr. Dorn."
- Worf: "You are very handsome, Michael Dorn."
Other notes:
- "James Cleveland" is the name of the real-life son of Gates McFadden, who plays Dr. Bevery Crusher in the TV series. In one episode in the series, "Jack Crusher" is the name of her husband, who died in an unfortunate accident.
- "Keegan" is John DeLancie's ("Q") real-life son. "Owen" may be another son as well.
- Jonathan Frakes' reference to "Beanie and Cecil" may have something to do with the Thunderbirds / puppet shows in (Frakes directed Thunderbirds).
- You can hear all the speech quotes played during attract mode by holding one flipper button and
tapping the other.
