@Dos_Box:

 

One of my earlier heroes, exceptional!!!

[pickman]

Heres a few

 

Terrahawks - Zelda always scared me

Rentaghost - I had a thing for miss popoff

The Tripods - Great Scifi

 

When I was really small ivor the engine and fingerbobs

[nit]

the whole 7 series of Knightmare on youtube!! watched it and got scared lol ohhh good old childhood but the last few 2 years of it you can see it was going down hill, first a change of helmet of justices and the cgi was really poor from 6 onwards, My personal fav was series 4.

Now that was a quality show, I have the box set DVD.

 

U often have planet rock on streaming over the net in our office, quite often get weird looks from the kids because none of them apart from a few of the musical types know any of the music on there.

 

Had one the other day thou recognise Pink Floyd so I let him stay in the office till the end of the track!

 

and does anyone remember knightmare, now that was brilliant!

 

 

Mike.

 

Where did you get that from? I've looked everywhere for it, (Granted, not for about 18 months).

 

Had to resort to watching a terrible VHS rip.

I'm now feeling very old...

[cookie_monster]

Good greif Rentaghost i'm really digging back into the mist to remember that.

It's the theme tunes that get me reminiscing properly... I'm sad enough to have collected them all on various theme compilations over the years, and there aren't many that have been mentioned here that I've not got the theme to!

 

I'm 29, and some of my favourites are:

• He-Man
  
• Thundercats
  
• Superted
  
• Dungeons & Dragons
  
• Ulyses 31
  
• Dogtanian
  
• Gummi Bears
  

 

I use the themes as ring tones for various people, and have quite a few on DVD too...

 

Not at all embarrassed either - they're all classics, they really don't make them like that any more...

 

No one's mentioned the endings of them though - there had to be a moral to the story in those days, so it was always SO cheesy at the end when they were all stood around chatting (or sat around the table in the case of Thundercats) about what had happened, then ended the episode with everyone laughing...

 

Oh the memories!

[sparkeh]

OMG how could I forget:

Around the World with Willy Fog!

[ilisle]

Green screen, Methalated Spirit handy to clean the tape heads, beautiful programming language... lol where did those days go?!

 

10 cls

20 print "I love BASIC!"

30 return to 20

 

I belive you mean "GOTO 20", or if you want it to disappear and flash up again "GOTO 10" :-)

[SpuffMonkey]

@SpuffMonkey:

 

Yes we are

In fact not much between us, you are a few months ahead.

Some of the shows I mentioned where a little "Red Herring" to put people off the scent, but you done good, give you a "Gold Star" :)

 

Cool - getting to 50 s'not so bad - now I'm getting used to the idea

though as my missus says - its better than the alternative..

[karlieb]

Yeah the theme tunes to the kids programs were always ace.

 

What about Chorlton and the Wheelies or Count Duckula.

 

I've actually got a Penfold mug on my desk at the moment too

[JJonas]

Captain Pugwash?

[mb2k01]

I belive you mean "GOTO 20", or if you want it to disappear and flash up again "GOTO 10" :-)

 

Nope, because then it would flash so fast between cls and print that you'd not really read!

My way you'd get a nice scrolling jittery list!

Play.com have it at the moment

 

Play.com (UK) : Mysterious Cities Of Gold (6 Discs) : DVD - Free Delivery

 

I think it was released about 18months ago funny enough. I know it was a VERY long time coming. I had it on pre order for months when it was announced!

 

While we're on childrens TV themes as well, one of my favourites was always

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjp7D0SW-9k]YouTube - Round the Twist[/ame]

 

And who could forget this (this is the full version and it's brilliant! the end of the cartoon had a 1 minute clip of this tune)

Will add this for The Raccoons as well (the original opening song)

Ah I remember those days of the Commodore 64 and cassette tapes.

Getting a programming book out of the library. Getting a blank cassette. Write out code till my hands bleed. Hit the record button and then find that you must of missed out a character somewhere and all those hours were wasted.

Must admit I always found The Racoons quite depressing, like "Don't get your hopes up kids, life isn't that great"

 

But then perhaps I was just a morose child

Anyone remember Ghost Writer? Didn't see it very often though.
