Eight and a Half Bit 
I remember the sound this week from King’s Quest 5. May have also appeared in other games in the series. The voice actor of King Graham was Sierra’s Josh Mandel. He also did a voice for a Free game recently released on Steam called Serena. It’s a creepy one room adventure type game that will take less than an hour to play. You guys should check it out. http://store.steampowered.com/app/272060/
Yep – you got it 🙂 We had the pleasure of chatting with Al Lowe and Josh Mandel a while back (https://eightandahalfbit.com/2013/01/05/interview-al-lowe-and-josh-mandel/). Those guys are awesome. Josh especially doesn’t get the props he deserves, he’s done so very much stuff.
I didn’t know he’d voiced something recently, thanks 🙂 I’ll check it out.
