Quoted from Crash:I'll comb through a couple Data East ROMs and rip the 8kHz 8-bit speech, we will see what it can do. Thanks.
I’m dying to know the results of this test. Think of how we might be able upgrade the original callouts of older games to have 16-bit or greater sounding audio!
Well... you COULD say it's 'enhanced'. But I think what we're really listening to is that Tim Kitzrow, with all due respect, does not sound all that much like Rod Serling:

Quoted from Aurich:I wonder if they exist. That would be a hell of a selling point for a TZ remake, if they had clean but original audio.
Unfortunately those are long, long gone; went on a hunting expedition a while back for the tapes. Since they switched from DCS back to the older audio bus, there wasn’t a lot of time to screw around and nothing was catalogued
Quoted from Crash:Wait, Williams abandoned DCS? For what games?
They didn’t abandon DCS, it just wasn’t quite ready for the first game that was planned to use it, Twilight Zone. Chris Granner had done almost all the music and programmed it on the DCS chip when it was decided to go back to the previous audio chip (same as in TAF) which is 8-bit. So there’s an entirely different set of music out there for the game
there used to be a phenomenal article that went through all the differences in the prototype TZs, but it looks like they’ve put it behind a paywall! That sucks, I’ve been referring to that since 2014
Quoted from Crash:What is the link to the article page?

This one is written by check_switch_26 so it is REALLY accurate, and goes over his other upgrades, and the 9.3h ROM
This article is the one that goes over every excruciating detail:

I believe there’s also a Pinside thread with roughly the same content
DCS-specific notes and recording in first post, from the original Granner DAT tape release. This more or less inspired the PinSound project:
