Amiga games with German voice over?
So I am practicing German for work and I decided to download German versions of some classic games like Civilization and Historyline. To my utter delight, I realized that Mega lo Mania has German voice overs in the DE version. Were there other games like this?

Inherit The Earth and Sixth Sense Investigations were written and narrated in German first and foremost.

Not before Day of the Tentacle, though you can always read German text while listening to an English voiceover. There's some linguistic learnification to be had there.
A few other PnC adventures that support German voiceovers include Flight of the Amazon Queen and Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2. |

Jesus Christ, with that one he maybe learn to speak like a ROBOT
I mean, those "voices" are synthesized and are at times so bad in pronunciation and rythm, that is even had for me as a native german speaker to understand them. ( i am not from germany tho ) You will be better off with Defender of the Crown II CDTV/CD32 !! [ Show youtube player ] Its an English Dude; i think; that speaks german, but with a neat "english" accent and he is doing a really good job and i can clearly understand every Word he says. (and in contrary to the "voice" in the game Mortville Manorhe he is not a freaking robot) I really enjoy his voice overs. The Best Choice would be Inherit the Earth (Erben der Erde). That is propper German with no Slang or accent what so ever. (Not that i mind Slang or any Accents, i really enjoy them actually) Especially if they come from a sexy woman....

Ha Ha,
he just ask which games has german voice, not how it was. It is bad of course. But your idea of Defender of the Crown 2 CD32 is good. This one I forgot. |

Sure; but he did mention that he "wanted to practice German for Work" ...!!
Can you imagine practicing the "german" in Mortville Manorhe for Work Sure, that would be freaking hilarious, but...people at this working place would stare at each other and say "What the hell is wrong with this guy ??? " |

Hah, that is a very fair point. To be clear, I am just using this to add a bit of fun diversion.
My needs for work are entirely for reading German and not speaking, but it is difficult to find resources aimed specifically at teaching reading. |

Please don't learn German from Civilization. All Microprose games from that era are notorious for their awful, borderline incomprehensible German translation
