The Fish

[Malefact]

It wasn't as bad as that! Coming off the back of a premature end to Km, I'm sure we all felt resentful! As I say, the technology wasn't ready for it.

It wasn't as bad as that!

Are you sure? I remember it being pretty bad.

[Malefact]

Well, ok, I'll grant you that going from Treguard to a fish is a bit of a step down!

[Purgatory]

LOL a fish.

Doom metal is Dark heavy gutair/rock music with strong vocals, its like an evlolved Death metal, u dont come across it as much as u did during the early 90s.
Now thats the end of the lession, anymore questions?

Power metal's not a lot like doom metal. But anyway, I don't want to continue this argument - I like it, you don't, end of story, as long as we both like Knightmare (hatred of Virtually Impossible being a bonus).

lesson or lesion?

Talking of Broadsword productions, has anyone ever seen the Satellite Game - is it any good?

[Fidjit]

Does anyone remember that program. Okay, this is a Knightmare site I know, but I can't find anymore about it?

Vaguely, I think that I must have been the only person who watched I think every episode. I think that I must be the only one who didn't think that the programme was too bad.

[Fan]

I never watched it at all.  I thought Knightmare was more than 3 times as great.

I saw it when it was shown. The problem with Virtually Impossible was that the technology wasn't ready for it and the format didn't quite work. Only now is VR technology good enough to present something that (a) the audience can really get into, and (b) can be played seamlessly (as I recall, several teams appeared to have problems controlling their play).

More than that, though, the sort of games on that show demanded player control through handsets and such; and the game was dictated solely by that. This made it difficult to get into because all the audience would see was the reaction of the game to some unseen action by the player(s).

The new Km will not, I predict, have this problem. This is because the said action by the player(s) will be choosing clue objects, answering riddles/questions and acting on clues - a far cry from pushing buttons, which no-one would have been able to connect with.

Knowing the cause of an effect (especially if the effect is negative - the result of a bad decision) will involve the audience to infinitely greater degree and will build tension (particularly when predicting a negative effect such as a messy death!)

If you've read right through up to this point, you win a prize!  :)

I watched it for a few episodes, but got bored with it because the puzzles were the same all the time. There wasn't enough variety  IMO.  It was a poor replacement for Knightmare and made me miss it all the more!  :(

I must have been pretty sad. I watched every episode. It used to remind me of "Cyberzone" presented by the very annoying Craig Charles. Does anyone remember that programme?

[Pooka]

Right, well, I was a big fan of Virtually Impossible, I even applied to go on that show!

No, it wasn't as good as Knightmare, mainly because of the lack of plots, characters, and so on. Also it was based around points rather than a real adventure - you couldn't even die (well, you could, but then you had to buy another life - I always wanted the teams to refuse!).

Thinking back, it wasn't a very good show, but I enjoyed it - not knowing that Knightmare would be cancelled at that time, I just saw it as a show to tide me over until KM series 9, which didn't happen...

...still, meh. I liked it. Kinda. At least it tried.

Oh, and Cod-P looked like a pooka, which helped.

I remember CyberZone, with the people wearing those VR helmets!

Woah thats going back ages ago!
