This doesn't have to be difficult and time-consuming, and, best of all, you will no longer need to be concerned that the VHS tape will be mangled. Plus, making copies for friends and relatives will be a snap. <a href="http://www.dvdmakers.com.au/" rel="nofollow">8mm Film Transfer to DVD</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987913119037579207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-33713011191172835992009-11-15T14:19:30.418-05:002009-11-15T14:19:30.418-05:00You mean we could've had a Sgt.

The symphonic soundtrack is excellent, at least. It's too bad the team that did the YS II anime didn't work on any of Falcom's other film projects.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607925838897584523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-60816262106284511342009-11-07T21:30:32.733-05:002009-11-07T21:30:32.733-05:00I've got a copy of that Xanadu anime that some...I've got a copy of that Xanadu anime that someone uploaded over at the Ancient Land of Ys.

Mirai Ninja was definitely one of the first, as I too was perplexed whether it was based on the arcade game or vice-versa. As a side-note, the movie's director, Keita Amemiya, has made a slew of similar films featuring armored heroes, and did the designs for the SNES game Hagane. I'm with you on your project. Some of the rarer finds I ended up with were an official VCD of Falcom's Xanadu anime and an LD of the Wizardy anime (the fact that such a thing even exists is even stranger than the Maniac Mansion sitcom).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607925838897584523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-89036685355858195992009-11-07T09:40:44.687-05:002009-11-07T09:40:44.687-05:00Someone put the movie on youtube: http://www.youtu...Someone put the movie on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=4015368981ED5931&search_query=cyber+ninja<br /><br />Also, if you were interested in digitizing old anime and shows not available on current formats and will probably never been seen again, I'd be interested in helping.

It still keeps it zaniness, but a lot of humor of Sam & Max is more mature - not necessarily violent, but just occasionally esoteric, especially with its writing - that it just wouldn't make sense to an eight year old.<br /><br />Maniac Mansion used some cast members for SCTV, a Canadian sketch show, so it's regarded as something of a spiritual sequel. Only the basic concept of a mad scientist and his wacky familiar are kept, basically it's nothing like the games. I only ever saw one episode of it growing up, because it was on a channel (The Family Channel) that I didn't get at home and was only available at my grandmother's house six hours away. I remember being really disappointed.Discoalucardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206257399887664488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-28186271860727784382009-11-06T14:50:31.810-05:002009-11-06T14:50:31.810-05:00What an amazing find this is...

I'd never even heard of the Maniac Mansion episode.<br /><br />There was also a Sam and Max cartoon, which apparently ran to 24 episodes, though I've only ever seen the first.<br /><br />Hopefully this might also unearth that lost episode of Wowser, which was inspired by Ice Climber.<br /><br />Even if you don't end up putting them online, a decent data archive of what was available would be good.Sketczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333200178515493705noreply@blogger.com
