Oh wow! That intro has lived rent free in my head for 25 years, mostly thanks to his amazing narration.

[@RedCrusader-ph2vk]

It's lived rent free in my head since my Dad showed it to me as a kid 16 years ago.

[@tonnehead777]

Still my favourite intro of all time.

[@Hydelsius]

Dude. TA has been a lifelong favorite RTS of mine since it came out. The modding community has kept it alive and fresh so many years! Really neat to hear this! Thanks a lot! Maybe get Chris Taylor for an interview???

[@KIWITALKZ]

I will add Chris to the guest list!

Amazing piece of TA history

[@EmiliaClarkesEyebrows]

his TA voice sounds like a mix between Darth Vader and Francis Underwood

[@samlincoln]

Such a cool video man. Glad to see TA content

[@SiamHossain7]

The funniest thing is... TA was actually a Mac game straight from release!

[@somesassybrat305]

See? This is how I remember the lore, at least- there wasn't a human being left anymore- it was just these two robot armies waging endless war...

[@heated1333]

The narration and the music both shaped my childhood beautifully

[@MartijnHoppenbrouwer]

I usually skip ALL the narration in every game I've played in the last 35 years.
There is one exception....
...where I've listed to EACH voice line (many times) and where I've listened to EACH mission narration (that was also readable on screen btw).
John Lowries voices in Total Annihilation!!!
And they still give me goose bumps.
So, your loved ones might wanted to skip... I was one (of many) people that were drawn into the game by your voice!
Many many Thanks.
PS. Does John still do voice-acting work?
I might have a very interesting project for him.....

Reminds me of the narrator in the series Victory at Sea.
