Vocoder was much cooler back in the days. You had to actually sing the tunes and hit them to make a vocoder sound good. Auto Tune, which is popular now days auto corrects people that can't sing and it gives them the robot sounding voice(awful). A vocoder sounds beautiful to me when someone can play and sing it. Soundwave's voice from transformers G1 is made with a vocoder. 80s :)

Awesome! I had to look up a clip of Soundwave to hear what you meant.

I pretty much missed out on all this stuff as a kid - only saw it occasionally at friend's places - as we only had cable TV at home, when I was 12 ( in 1993 ). The same goes for consoles ( gaming ). We just had a PC. I never even owned a Game Boy.

It's almost a trauma and probably one of the reasons why I'm not into superhero movies. I love these kind of 1980s cartoons though and I find old games fascinating, I just don't know all the classics as well as most people from our generation do.
