PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 38. Creator of Zelda, Mario, & more. - Yuji Horii, age 36. Creator of Dragon Quest. QUOTE: "Miyamoto: I think sound is very important for games. Even in Super Mario World, I think the reverb and spatial quality of the sound help define a stage more than the pretty graphics. Horii: That’s very true. However, there is the problem of how much memory sampling takes up. To test it out, we sampled the sound of breaking glass, and it ate up 6kb of memory on the SFC. We could fit 5 or 6 towns into that space…! Miyamoto: Yeah, memory is still a real issue. I think you can use those sounds in a variety of interesting ways though. In a dungeon, for instance, if players hear a bell chime off to the right, it could be a nice hint."

I just paid six dollars and fifty cents for an all-natural soda. Remember when Vincent Vega was shocked that a milk shake could cost five dollars? Seems so quaint.
