Roger Wilco is a Voice over IP application used by multiplayer computer game players in Microsoft Windows, usually in combination with a headset. A version for the Mac is currently in development, but developers have "no idea when it will be made publically available", citing "obstacles the alpha is encountering".^[1] The software provides gamers the benefit of not having to communicate by typing, allowing them better control over their games. The software also works outside of games. It is very similar in function to programs like Teamspeak, Ventrilo, and Mumble.

It was originally created by Resounding Technology, Inc., a company that merged with HearMe, Inc., owner of MPlayer.com, in October 1999. GameSpy bought the source code in December 2000 and added an improved version of the program to their GameSpy Arcade software in early 2001.
