"Send to Starfleet: We have engaged the Borg."

This is WRONG, right??

It should be "Send a message to Starfleet...." I thought I heard it that way the first time I started Borg Multiball, but I haven't heard it that way since. Is something wrong with my machine or did I just fill in the correct quote in my mind?

I did a search on RGP for this and (after filtering out the guy that used the quote in is signature) found a rulesheet with the "Send to Starfleet" quote in it, and references to it in a "best quotes" thread.

This can't be the correct quote, can it?

I'll check mine, but I think it's the way Picard said it on the show, so that's the way it is on the pinball.
 
Thats what mine says.
"send to starfleet, we have engaged the Borg"
Picard has no time for useless extra words.
 
Just finished playing and it does say: "Send to Starfleet: We have engaged the Borg."

Has anyone here ever installed the 'Funny' sound rom set?

It's worth installing even if you turn off the "Funny" option, as there are more quotes and sound FX than in the regular ROM. For instance, Pickard has a whole slew of things he says post-game ....if I remember correctly, he only has a quote about Q in the regular ROM.
 
"send to starfleet, we have engaged the Borg" yep yep, just checked mine. I have the 'funny' rom installed, i've never turned it off so i don't know the difference

I didn't know that you can turn off the "Funny" option. I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks.
 
Alright. I suppose in my euphoria over starting Borg multiball for the first time ever (I never got to play this game much before actually getting one), I could have mentally installed the "a message" part. Could've sworn I heard it different. I even reseated my sound ROMs.

Interested in the funny ROMs myself....

Anyone know the difference between the two sound ROMs listed on the IPDB page?

Where can this be found? What chip needs to be re-burned at what location? I'd sure like to try this out.

Last time I bought roms, I ordered them from here: http://www.thatpinballplace.com/eproms/wpc.html

Scroll down and you'll find the Funny' Sound ROM Set (8 pc set). A little pricey at $60 for the set but seems like it's worth it.

I don't have an EPROM burner so I don't know if the roms on www.ipdb.org are the same ones.
