The main menu screen theme is enough to make you realize this game is something special. What an incredible tune to set the mood

Sapphire and Steel was one of the most terrifying children's dramas ever made. Developed by writer Peter J. Hammond, it first aired on ATV in 1979 at a later time slot that could handle more mature themes.

The premise of Sapphire and Steel was ambiguous: 'elements’ were assigned by a higher power to prevent time from exploiting anomalies in the fabric of the universe. Sometimes beings from the past or future were the threat; sometimes it was time itself.

David McCallum and Joanna Lumley were recruited to play the lead roles: two inter-dimensional operatives called Sapphire and Steel, who took human form in their mission to stop time itself wreaking havoc on the present.

Sapphire was the more empathetic agent: she could rewind time in small ways to see what has happened, and could tell the age and history of objects or people by touch. Often her eyes changed colour when this happened.

Steel was a more cold, calculating character. He had enormous strength and could freeze himself to near absolute zero, allowing him to destroy paranormal entities. He had little sympathy for humans.

Other 'elements' occasionally helped Sapphire and Steel: Lead had immense strength, whilst Silver was a mischievous Technician who could manipulate technology and create holograms.

Sapphire and Steel wasn't a straightforward time-travel drama. Time itself - and various other dark forces - were the ‘villain’ constantly trying to break into the present to disrupt it. The 'elements' didn't care much for humans caught up in this, only in keeping time in check.

The thing that's gripping about Sapphire and Steel is its claustrophobic sense of terror: the sets are sparse and confined; the plot proceeds slowly like a good horror novel, building up the tension. It's available on DVD and is well worth watching if you like tales of slowly building psychological fear...

@JennyENicholson When Rey first shows up his eyes pop out and he hits himself over the head with a mallet. When she takes action a kettle sounds and steam comes out of his ears.

Remember the game Kiss: Psycho Circus? That FPS featuring the Kiss band

I've made a repack of the full game with fixes to run it on modern PCs, just install and it ready to play, no extra tinkering required. The link is on the post bellow:

Ulysses 31 (1981). A manga retelling of Greek mythology, loosely based on the Odyssey.

26 episodes in all, and yes they do find the Kingdom of Hades and return home in the end!

The Japanese original has a different theme tune to the European release; Denny Crockett and Ike Egan composed the version in this video.

What do you mean you don't remember Cleopatra 2525? It was only made a quarter of a century ago...

Morons From Outer Space (1985)

Not quite the British 'Spaceballs', this satire of first contact movies was directed by Mike Hodge and written by comedy duo Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones for Thorn EMI Films (chaired by Verity Lambert no less!)

The reviews were pretty awful. The film was a big misfire and didn't do a lot for the reputation of Smith & Jones. If you watched it on release at least you have the bragging rights...

@OfficialPogo Still my favorite artist. He samples such rhymic sounds in all his works and beautifully integrates them into a complex beat. As a song develops it always carries with it such a strong feeling. I’ll cherish the tracks we got and hope we are lucky enough to hear more in the future

[How Things Are Manufactured @fastworkers6]

Wow! Instructions included👏

[PaddyBs @PaddyBees]

@JennyENicholson A very similar thing happened to a boy and his velveteen rabbit. I think at the end of this you’re going to end up with a real, living Chao

@slowbeef In the remake i don’t feel any particular emotion coming from him. (2/2)

[PaddyBs @PaddyBees]

@slowbeef I think some people act like it’s a sin for mere mortals to try and remake SH2. With that said i don’t like the voice direction. In the original meeting with Angela, James feels despondent. When he said he doesn’t care if it’s dangerous there’s a numbness. (1/2)
