or maybe we're on a similar weird-ass wavelength....

Hehe, I love this film. It's so stupid but always makes me laugh.

Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little suprises.
El Guapo: Many pinatas?
Jefe: Oh yes, many!
El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A *plethora*.
Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

Anyway, here's a new image:

Frodo's got it - or at least most of it. This was Dan Dare III on the ST.

Buck Rogers started off as a book (well two stories that were eventually compiled into a book), then got popularised as a comic. Long before becoming a TV show.

You live and learn! It's all about Gil Gerard and Erin Grey to me, I've never seen Buck Rogers in book or comic form.

Incidentally, the name of the eponymous character in this game rhymes with your user name! (Depending on exactly how you pronounce the second part...)

I think Mandle may be reading too much into the "Tries" thing (unless I'm not reading enough into it?!?)

This should give it away - at least the character (it's not the first in the series):

Nope - think comics rather than TV.

Nope, though there's a definite similarity in graphical style. I was most surprised to find they that were released in the same year, I thought this one would be much older!

This one featured a character who was famous outside the world of video games...

Hehe well I did think it looked like a console version tbh. I only ever played it - very briefly - on a mate's Amiga A1200.

Okay here's another one:

Mandle could you clarify something please?

Billions of us are thrown away,
By everybody, every day.
Yet noone ever finds us lacking,
Until Death comes a rapping.

What are we?

Now the way I read it is that each person throws away billions of whatever it is every day. Is that accurate, or is the sum of what everyone together throws away what the "billions" refer to?
