Two memorable things - "Your sound card works perfectly!" [VIDEO] - "I am a medieval man" [LINK] ( [LINK] ) It was great to play this game when it came out. And it has aged well too. Good gameplay, OST, graphics... never experienced a glitch or performance issue. The only worry was keeping the CD unscratched.

To me the most excellent British accent is the "your soundcard works perfectly" clip from Warcraft 2 audio configuration. [1] [1] [VIDEO]

For those wanting to experience those days again (or for the first time?): [VIDEO] Another one that springs to mind is from Constructor; "Hello this is constructor are you receiving?" with that very distinct British accent.
