A Compendium of Sounds
from Road Rovers
Steward's RR Bytes page had many sound bites from the show, arranged
by who said this and that. When it went down, I decided to put the bytes
I downloaded on my page, arranging them by episode. Later I found out that
Steward's page was still alive at http://roadrovers.cjb.net
which linked to a page at Crosswinds.
So I linked some of his files from here. But then, Crosswinds has always been
dodgy, so I've had to download some files originally linked from here,
via use of the Wayback Machine.
Caveats:
-
Since these files are encoded in the same way as MP3's, you might have to
get some files to be able to play them. If you're using Win 95 minus MS
Netshow, click here to get them. Win 3.1 users
(if there are still any around) will have to download
the whole Netshow package.
Win 98 users upwards should be fine...
-
Some files could not be obtained from the archive, so they're still linked
to Crosswinds. I'll indicate with italics.
So here is my compendium:
Let's Hit the Road
Exile and Blitz in the plane just before it
takes off.
Colleen's karate sequence.
Colleen's
way of telling that Hunter's driving sucks.

likes Colleen calling Blitz names.
Exile gets the Cloud Rover fixed.
Shag screws
up a bazooka shot.
The "Fly Faster" scene.
Exile
and Colleen talk about Hunter burning up the road.
A Hair of the Dog That Bit You
Exile heats things up. Literally
"Queen
Colleen? No Way!"
Hunter goes Bandicoot.
Where Rovers Dare
The Byrds and Janis Joplin ref.
"Tanks"
sequence.
"They'll be singing soprano into their 80s."
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Why Hunter flies the Sonic Rover, and
practically all of the Rovers' other planes.

reads "Go, Dog, Go!". Cries
at the end.

Colleen shows off her spinning ability.
Blitz calls Sport "a wimpy baby". Like he should know.
The Rovers
in Miami.
Hunter
drives into the ocean.
Hunter's Heroes
What dogs do: Dig.
Colleen's odds of getting
away from the baddies and getting
through the fence. An apparent Star Wars tribute.
Dawn of the Groomer
It's a
hell of a time with Colleen at the wheel. In fact Hunter
has to look for his donor card.
Blitz
tries to explain to Groomer he's not a Rover. Surprisingly without success.
Still a Few Bugs in the System
"These boots were made for stomping!"

a black hole.
Blitz seems
a bit sad after Parvo goes down the hole.
"There
goes our G rating..."

the bad guy's vessel.
What the aliens
want.
A Day in the Life
Colleen kicks Blitz.

life story.

life story.
Miscellaneous, because I don't know what sounds come
from what eps

Hunter
has a bad landing again.
This is
exactly why Blitz doesn't see much action on the show.
Exile
has a hard time saying "The Groomer spilled her marbles".
