Does it have a soundtrack?
It makes a sort of clicking noise when you push the buttons down. Plastic on plastic.
A classic, too bad it didn't make it. The fatal flaw in it's OS was that It slowly Dopplered down to 145.970 MHz before going out at 1739 UTC. A full run of TLM went: -

"So a sprinkler supervisor and his apprentice are out on a lawn maintenance job, and the supervisor starts working on a McKenzie sprocket with a 7-inch Gangley wrench. The apprentice comes over and says, "Hey, you can't work on a McKenzie sprocket with a 7-inch Gangley wrench!"
So the supervisor goes and gets Volume 9 of the Kinsley Manual, and reads to the apprentice--'The 7-inch Gangley wrench CAN be used with the McKenzie sprocket!'
Just then the little apprentice leans over and says, "It says SOCKET not SPROCKET!!!"
Of course you know, Steve, this was also an innovative moment in game design for both rendered graphics and character integration. There is an unprecedented schism in styles between the naturalistic pink avatar dolphins (the "twins") and the abstracted cartoonish look of the NPC dolphin with the ball on his nose, which remains flat in appearance, and is strictly relegated to interactions of environment rather than game play.
oh wait, nevermind. I think those are swordfish.
Yeah, the text I swiped from Jim's page sounded high-tech and computer-y to me but I think it was about planes and weather.
At least it's more wholesome than a toy cash register.
Sally, I hate to correct you on your own blog but those would be pink Marlins. Not to be confused with the fish named Marlin in Disney's Little Nemo, which isn't a marlin at all (but is pinkish).
They have no dorsal fins, which means they are Narwhals; the one at left without the tooth must be a female.
