sega saturn live-action FMV double feature GO

"Extremely impressive my ass... teroids."



"THE APES ARE WATCHING ME"

 
It makes me wonder if FMV games were popular enough for people to really feel "nostalgic" over them at any point down the line.
 
I'm surprised nobody has said this yet, I absolutely love the Super Mario Bros. show and not only the cartoon aspects but the live segment aspects as well. Not sure if this goes here or animation although I guess it could as both but seeing Captain Lou Albano as Mario was the highlight of this show and seeing him with other weird characters such as Piper and even Count Dracula made it all the more memorable.

Gundam 0079: The War For Earth is a FMV game based on the original Gundam anime, whih was curiously outsourced to Texan developer Presto Studios (best known for their cult FMV/point and clcik adventure The Journeyman Project). It is notable for being one of the first Gundam media to be exported in the west (I think it might actually be the literal second, after Frederik L. Schodt's translation of the novels), being the first "feature-length" gundam thing to be in live-action and for being an hilarious and lamentable effort in every way.

Although not TV I think what I'm about to bring up fits in well with the theme of this thread. I'm a big fan of kaiju tokusatsu (Japanese monster movies) and loathe as I am to admit it the majority of them can be considered quite cheesy. That being said I really enjoy the amount of detail in special effects of such films.

Again not quite TV but I feel like this could go here.

Here are some sequences from some of my favorite tokusatsu(Japanese special effects) movies. While the special effects of yesteryear or no match for today's, there's just something about them that I like more. They seem more...ambitious, inventive, imaginative. With CGI being the standard, none of today's special effects really blow me away in a "wow, how did they do that?" sort of way. I'm not necessarily advocating to go back to these old ways since that'd just be archaic. Just something from another era to appreciate as a product of its time.

Praise be the squatting mecha / tank thing.
 
I still stand by that old 80's and early 90s OVA dubs have the best and cheesiest lines ever. Here are some dubs of devilman OVA as well as Violence Jack OVA both of which were created by Go Nagai, p much a guy who has constant rape scenes everywhere.
