Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors Track List Revealed

"Go, Jayce, conqueror from afar, look for your father ..."

And with these words Jayce and the lightning league battled the Monster Minds and Saw Boss for 65 episodes. Produced by the hilariously named (at least I thought at the time) DIC studios and overseen by Jean Chalopin (of Mysterious Cities of Gold, Ulysses 31, Inspector Gadget and tonnes of other formative cartoons from the 80s) the show was grand and cheesy operatic drama and a big part of this was due to the epic music, created by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban.

The soundtrack for the series has never been released… until now. Tele 80 has crowdfunded the OST for a September release on CD and Vinyl. There is a delay due to Covid but the soundtrack should be released in October now. However, Tele 80 has released a track list and it looks pretty good- not as comprehensive as the 35th anniversary Ulysses 31 release but it’s a good start.

Official Moomins YouTube Channel Showing Classic 90s Show

I have a deep love for the Moomins as many of you may know. I've discussed the Moomins multiple times before, either when talking about the 80s stop motion animation, the exhibition at the Southbank Centre or even when reviewing the new Moominvalley series.

The Moomins are beloved characters created by the Finnish artist and storyteller, Tove Jansson. I am a huge fan of the creatures and with the recent release of the Moominvalley series, the Official Moomin YouTube page has launched with behind the scenes interviews with casts, creatives and other people involved in the production of the wonderful series.

However, the real jewel in the crown for this channel is that it is slowly releasing episodes of the wildly popular Adventures From Moominvalley animation from the 90s. It was this series, more than any previous one, that brought the Moomins worldwide fame. Check it out as at the time of writing the first 3 episodes are available to watch in high quality.

I never really watched the show in the 90s as I was going through my Edge Lord manga and anime phase… but watching it many years after the fact, it is quite lovely and gentle!

The New ZX Spectrum

Production is set to start on a remodelled version of the ZX Spectrum, which will come pre-installed with 1,000 classic game titles. The computer will be released in April and has the blessing of the original Sinclair computer Sir Clive Sinclair. The Sinclair Spectrum Vega will be made in the UK by SMS Electronics, which successfully achieved its backing through a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.

My friend had a ZX Spectrum and I loved it, it was the first place I saw such amazing games like Head Over Heels and Super Robin Hood, both stone cold classics. I look forward to seeing the machine succeed but am probably not going to get one myself due to limited space and financial constraints. So, are you excited and what game would you like to see included in the 1000 pre-installed games?

Twin Peaks Coming Back in 2016!

I am pleased to announce that Twin Peaks will return in 2016. The announcement was made by Showtime over the weekend, following hints in tweets sent by David Lynch and Mark Frost, the creators of the show. I for one am excited as this series is my favourite television series of all time (after 'Mysterious Cities of Gold' that is)

To quote Showtime:

The groundbreaking television phenomenon, Golden Globe® and Peabody Award-winner TWIN PEAKS will return as a new limited series on SHOWTIME in 2016. Series creators and executive producers David Lynch and Mark Frost will write and produce all nine episodes of the limited series, and Lynch will direct every episode. Set in the present day, TWIN PEAKS will continue the lore of the original series, providing long-awaited answers and a satisfying conclusion for the series’ passionate fan base.

For viewers hoping to reminisce or for those discovering the series for the first time, SHOWTIME will re-air the first two seasons of TWIN PEAKS, in advance of the new episodes going on air in 2016.

Widely considered one of the most groundbreaking and influential broadcast series of all time, TWIN PEAKS followed the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town who were stunned after their homecoming queen Laura Palmer is shockingly murdered. The town's sheriff welcomed the help of FBI agent Dale Cooper, who came to town to investigate the case. As Cooper conducted his search for Laura's killer, the town's secrets were gradually exposed. The mystery that ensued set off an eerie chain of events that plunged the inhabitants of Twin Peaks into a darker examination of their very existence. Twenty-five years later, the story continues...

Old School Vs New School

We choose this video because we both liked the mash up between the old and new generation of games. Can you name all of the different games that appear in the video?
