The Observation Dome theme is definitely the most emotional thing in Red Dwarf for me. Lovely little motif, and its use in Queeg is what really sells Holly’s goodbye. Even more considering he essentially leaves the very next episode.

The Kennedy assassination in Tikka is probably second-place, it doesn’t make me emotional but it’s very well executed and the score during that segment is superb. If only the Ace Rimmer mass-grave didn’t have that awful CG.

I’d watched this one recently so once I saw Cat’s teeth, it was a dead giveaway.

Rather than ending with the imposter Lister dissolving into the
Polymorph, Lister’s head was going to spin around while he grinned at
us, Exorcist-style.

That actually sounds rather creepy, to be honest. Polymorph never really scared me despite the disclaimer at the start so I kinda wish they had some proper scary scenes. It could definitely be a killer halloween special with the right execution.

Similarly, just difficult to narrow down which part it was. Wonder if someone’s done an actual 1 hour cut of those episodes.

I’ll be honest, I’d be interested in GMing (AIng?) Or even playing if someone else is willing to take turns? I dunno, I’m in a big RPG phase at the moment.

Hope there’s some Custer and Kit costumes on there too, you can’t just have Titan and forget about the other two, y’know.

Just thought I’d say that I really don’t think there’s anything wrong considering there is pretty much no way that Deep7 is making any money considering their license to sell the game expired at least a decade ago. These days, it wouldn’t really be piracy so much as archival, as if you were to pay money for the game, the only people it would actually go to would most likely be the people selling it considering its age.

It’s great to hear it’s scanned at least somehow! I wouldn’t want to be the sort of slimey cheapskate that begs for free scans of a licensed series of rpg books, even if the idea of paying hundreds of pounds for them make me wince. If it does make you uncomfortable, I completely understand, I’m just some loser on the internet.

Wow, surprising to hear there’s a few people that do have the books, maybe cause I was only just born when they came out, haha. Would it be rude of me to ask that someone be able to scan in and publish the books online so they can be read or even played for archival purposes? Much more recent RPGs are archived on places like The Tome so I doubt there’d really be much of a fuss for these to be posted.
