Thunderbirds for PS2

Details: Category: News; Last Updated: Monday, 05 August 2013 17:17; Written by Simon Wickes; Hits: 6687

Thunderbirds for PS2 Hot on the heels of the Captain Scarlet game for the Sony Playstation 2, we now have a Thunderbirds game for the PS2.

Again, this seems to be a budget title for £10 and is UK-specific Region 2 encoded, so if you live outside the UK (like me) then don't even think of buying this.

For those in the UK, all I have to say is: you lucky lucky bastards.

Unless of course the game is crap. Only time will tell, the game gets released on June 7 2007.

Just in time for Christmas - Captain Scarlet for the PS2!

I got a very interesting email this week. It turns out that a Playstation 2 game based on Captain Scarlet (original version) has just been released in the UK.

The game description:

Get behind the wheel of the Spectrum Patrol Car and the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle for high-speed, mission-based combat racing in exotic locales.
3 Modes of play - Pursuit, Escape And Race
Explosive weaponry - Machines Guns, Rockets, Mines and Bombs
Features the iconic Spectrum Patrol Vehicle as well as the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle
16 Adrenaline filled missions
Includes a remixed Captain Scarlet music track.

The game is available from Amazon UK for £9.97.

Sadly, I doubt this game will be available outside the UK, but for fans of the show with a PS2, this should keep things interesting during the holiday season.

Gerry Anderson Guide updated

Details: Category: Publications; Last Updated: Monday, 05 August 2013 17:17; Written by Simon Wickes; Hits: 6605

Admittedly this info may be old news to some of you, but Chris Bentley's superb "Complete Gerry Anderson episode guide" book has been revised and updated. It has been issued as a softcover version. The original book is still available and was published as a hardcover. Oddly the cover does not inform the reader of the difference. It is only on the back that this is mentioned.

The book has been updated with numerous revisions, mostly concerning "New Captain Scarlet", but is decently priced and if you don't have the earlier copy is absolutely worth picking up. Of course, I had to get it when I was over the Fanderson convention, even if just to get Chris to sign it. Chris is, of course the chairman of Fanderson. He certainly knows his stuff.

The book is available in most bookstores, and of course at Amazon UK. Price is £19.99, but at Amazon UK its a little over £13.00.

Future was FAB: Book announcement

July 2006 will see the publication of "The Future was FAB: The Art of Mike Trim". This looks to be a very interesting read, from the man who designed many of the excellent vehicles in the Century 21 shows. The following is most of the text of the press release, which makes interesting reading on its own. This can sit next to your copy of the Derek Meddings book. Full details after the jump.

New Captain Scarlet CD due this year

Although nothing official has been announced as yet, there will be a CD released "soon" containing the soundtrack to New Captain Scarlet. The music is by Crispin Merrell and all will be original soundtrack material from the TV series. Until the details are firmed up, no other details can be provided. However, it is likely that the CD will be published by Silva Screen and it should hit the shelves "some time" this year.
