   Well, over the years I have noticed that the GA voice samples are   
   actually taken off of various movies.  I forget which screams come from   
   which movies (and I don't know if the movies I heard them in are the   
   first time they were used in a movie).  But I know that Conan the   
   Barbarian has about 2/3rds of the screams in the arcade Golden Axe.   
   None of the Arcade game's screams made it to the home version, if I   
   recall, and I just figured that was so they wouldn't get sued.  What   
   kind of throws my theory off though is that the boss scream from Streets   
   of Rage 1 is the death curdle of that last big barbarian that Conan   
   kills after cutting through his father's sword (that the big guy took at   
   the beginning of the movie).

   Yeah, that's where I'm at too.  I am actually getting to where I just   
   want to settle down and play what I have collected though.  We'll see   
   how that turns out.  ;)
