What does Mr. Driller say when he picks up an oxygen tank? I think many people remember the Japanese game series, Mr. Driller. There was an arcade machine and several console games, and they were pretty popular. The idea was to drill through coloured blocks, periodically refilling your air supply with oxygen tanks. However, does anyone know what Mr. Driller says whenever he picks one up? Here's my attempt: > He always says something like > > Since "air" is {}{} and "oxygen" is {}{}, I tried searching for other things. > > made no sense, meaning "opponent" (), etc. > > means, among other things - "barrier" (). > > Other games in the series have similarly unintelligible (to me) quotes upon picking up air tanks. Here's a link to some gameplay, and the first two oxygen tanks are picked up at **0:15** and **0:25** : <

Sounds like he is saying to me.

Know nothing about the game but that is what my Japanese ear picks up.

EDIT: Just found this:

> ****

RE-EDIT: Found these, too.

Go to paragraph (about) #9, which starts with "It's a shame":

> It’s a shame, then, that the in-game voices are a bit grating. The voice actors themselves aren’t the problem, just one particular usage of them- i.e. the way Driller-san and friends say **‘Lucky!’** (or in the case of the dog, ‘Lucky-wan!’) every time you pick up an oxygen capsule.

Read the paragraph (about #5) stating with "Graphically":

> ... the repeated sound clip of **‘’lucky!’’** when you collect an air tank ...

I have nothing more to say, really.
