Parsec is a side-scrolling space shooter originally for the TI-99/4A in 1982. Speech choices include original, Cybermorph and Microsoft David.

You can find Parsec in the Coleco Ports category. To run this, look in the Internet Adapter or Headless menu on the NABU/MAME and navigate to the Coleco Ports channel category and select Parsec.

Unhuman ported the TI-99 version to Colecovision and this is a port from Colecovision to NABU PC.

NABU PC version has additional speech choices, smooth movement with an option for classic movement and all the cheats you could want.

NABU plays the "Laser overheated" phrase that was unused on TI/Coleco.
It also plays a sarcastic phrase if you fly into the ground.
