Great insight into why fire alarm voice evacuation systems are a thing. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with the notion that voice evac is more effective than just an alarm, though I'm a bit disappointed he didn't go into the whole "Loud alarms cause panic" thing.

Y'know, it's incredible how many random games I have that... *just work* in #ScummVM. Barbie and her Magical House no longer has the weird looping audio, the KidStory Series is playable, Franklin's Activity Center no longer crashes (albeit it's missing the music and Franklin drumming his fingers)...
