Keep Calm And Discuss Retro Generally!

There is definitely something wrong with me, I never liked Knightmare at all.
I was too old for them!
(queue old jokes)
I was a big fan of The Trapdoor though, the great Willie Rushton doing voices.
Great game on the Spectrum as well.
As for computers in tv, the older members here might remember the slight hullabaloo about the Channel 4 logo, when the station launched a being a sophisticated little cgi, at a time when such work was seldom seen.
Also, a show called Wired had an amazing title sequence, although I don't remember a screed about the shows content!

Blake's 7 is getting a remake, for anyone old enough to remember the original.

Now that could be interesting.
The original was for grown ups where Dr Who was aimed at a younger mindset.
If it can be assured of a good run of a few years, get through the story properly.
The Liberator was a great ship, Orac not a great use of an extensive sfx budget though, a perspex box of fibre optics.
The weapons and teleport were cool tog.

It's shocking, I start reading one wiki page about something, before you know it I'm on ebay looking at games I'd not heard of before.
Right now I'm looking at the Battle Gear series on the PS2, principally Battle Gear 3 which looks amazing tbh


and it's far cheaper predecessor, Battle Gear 2, or Tokyo Road Race, as it was imaginatively titled in it's European iteration,


I'm going to get one of them for sure, I just love these interesting racers that popped up on the PS2, the series is still going in the arcades, with Battle Gear 4 being on the Taito TypeX format.
