Gorgar is a 1979 pinball machine designed by Barry Oursler and released by Williams Electronics. It was the first speech-synthesized (“talking”) pinball machine, containing a vocabulary of seven words (“Gorgar”, “speaks”, “beat”, “you”, “me”, “hurt”, “got”) that were combined to form varying broken-English phrases, such as “Gorgar speaks” and “Me got you”. The pinball machine also has a heartbeat sound effect that increases in speed during longer gameplay.
