As your guide to the game, he'll talk you through each one of the introduction sequences and offer you consolation or congratulation after each mission. The entire game is narrated by an old timer that makes me think of Uncle Jessie from the Dukes of Hazzard every time I hear his voice. Railroad Tycoon II also boasts some amazing sound effects.
