Hi & Welcome

Sounds an interesting set - can you tell us how it compares to the TR47 or Dr Gonzo sets, or perhaps post a couple of screencaps on here?

Are they anamorphic or letterbox?, NTSC or PAL? Does your set have a title screen, menus, or chapter stops?

Sorry for all the questions - just interested in some info

Same here, m8.

I loved the Hoth level on Rogue Sqadron the most - even better than the RL2 and Rebel Strike, always seem to have more time to go around shooting stuff in your own time

That's a very cool cover m8 - like the way you used the original poster art on the front, and the style of linking the trilogy stories on the blurb at the back.

Very nice

I don't think I phrased my post above too well...

'At what point does another country decide that you can or cannot have nuclear weapons?' - below that are reasons as why, for me, one or two countries should NOT be allowed to take control and implement military action - and not a dig on the situation with Iraq.

I know it parallels recent events, though I was trying to keep it hypothetical - but I suppose it's all in our subsconciouses at some point. What happens next time if intelligence suggests that a country may be developing a WMD program - at what point do you give trust to a country that has got it wrong before - let alone give military aid to it?

Should there come a time when the US are the country left with a nuclear arsenal - would they make steps to rid themselves of it? Would they rely on convential armed forces to defend itself?

If they refused to 'get rid' does that not send out a hypocritical message to the rest of the world - and ultimately the rearming of other countries would start all over again?

(sorry - too many questions :confused

Hmmnn...

I can see why a nation would want to defend itself - or have the capabiltiy or deterrent of a nuclear weapon to do so.

Obviously it's quite worrying that a potential enemy may have WMDs aimed at a country you live in - though there probably reasons as to why they are aiming at one country and not another.

At what point does another country decide that you can or cannot have nuclear weapons? Is it because you are their military allies which has provided personnel or bases to use in the past? Or have strong business and commercial links etc?

What if another country is so worried that another may be developing WMDs that they discredit that country with false and exaggerated information as a prelude to invasion and then install their values upon that nation?

Or that false infromation if given about WMDs in that country as a reason to interfere - what would happen after? - an apology with immediate withdrawl? Being shunned by the international community' or an emargo against the perpetrators?

^ what would you judge to be fair and reasonable?

Cool work RR

Like the way you could have either the Dark Side or 'Light' Side as the front - most impressive.

Cool www.originaltrilogy.com at the bottom of the side too

A suggestion - are you going to use the phrase 'Original Trilogy' under the Star Wars logo on the side? or just 'Trilogy'?

Hi & Welcome

Your set sounds intriguing m8. Good luck with it.

If you need some hi-res poster art then Rikter may be able to help you. It may be worth tracking down his bit-torrent of collected covers, inserts and discart - a link to it is probably in the 'torrents thread', as well as checking out a couple of the dvd cover threads in this very forum.

Hi Georg,

If I'm not mistaken I believe that artwork is 'Cerbero's' - a poster on here.

Just sent the ebay seller an email asking him where he got his artwork from...

Looks like I better work out where is best for the cable company to start drilling holes in my wall and whereabouts I want the laptop based

Hopefully the benefit of this torrents lark will soon pay off

Description: ‘VHS rip of the little-known cult classic. I’m not entirely sure which release this is. The box says it was released in 1984 but the tape might be from a bit earlier. Either way, it’s Star Wars before all the weird computer generated shit was vomited all over it.’

Description: ‘The 1984 release of the 2nd Star Wars film. Though this printing has a promo at the end with 1986 copyrights. This rip didn’t come out as crisp as the Star Wars rip. I don’t know how much of that I can blame on the official video transfer or the degradation of the tape itself (this was definitely a well-loved copy). But it’s not too bad, maybe I’ll seek out another copy and see if I can do a better capture at a later date.’
