The Rumpus Room / Re: What grinds my gears!

The focus on sisterhood and rejection of Prince Charming are also firsts in a Disney movie, I believe.

Okay, possibly being a tad unfair with earlier comments - as mentioned I did enjoy the movie, just didn't think about it too hard maybe!

The feisty heroine bit had certainly been done before in Mulan, but I guess she in a way had a "Prince Charming".  I haven't seen all of them.  Nothing beats The Jungle Book for me!

I don't think Frozen really did anything drastically new, it just appealed to the prevailing mood of a lot of people when it came out, and this coupled with a lot of publicity blew the hype well out of proportion.  But I agree, there was little / nothing genuinely "new" in it.

Speaking of Zootopia - which I also enjoyed - did anyone feel it seemed more about sexism than racism, despite there being many obvious opportunities to deal with racism?

I thought Frozen was good, not necessarily outstanding.  It was phenomenally popular because it hit all the right social consciousness buttons at the right time.

Still haven't seen Wreck It Ralph (it's on my To Do list though!).

Yup, RoboKnight!  For some reason I've never forgotten this game. ;-D

Your turn!

Hmm... not really sure if posting more screenshots is going to help really - the screens look very similar.

Clues:

It only came out for the C16 / C16+4
It was released in 1986

Haha no, but an inventive guess :grin:

You're close to having the right system though.

Funny, first time I saw it I almost wondered if it was a CGA version of Operation Stealth!

Now, I wonder how easy / difficult this one will be?...

Is Your Honeymoon Really Necessary?

Is she wearing a corset, you figure?

We have a winner!

Corset?  Wasn't Diana Dors always that shape? :-D

@CW - The handsome chap on the left was Bonar Colleano btw.  No I hadn't really heard of him either before watching this film.

The Silent Enemy?

Nope - half a decade before that one.

I now feel honour-bound to suggest Police Quest 2! (roll)

Well, that's Sid James on the right. I don't recognise the other two. It might be a Carry on film, but I don't think so...

It is Sid James, but it isn't a Carry On film.

Slight clue - the woman in the middle has an alliterative name (or at least, her stage name is alliterative, not her birth name).

I do not have a very big knowledge of movies that old, but the left man reminds me of Gregory Peck.

Not Gregory Peck, the actor in question has got a bit of a funny name really.  The other two in the scene are more recognisable, both British stars of the time.

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra?

(If it is, is that the "You can't make aliens dance - you don't know what you're dealing with!" scene?)

When a game you looked forward to for a long time ends up

... not getting released.

I hate it when I'm really close to the completion of a big project, really REALLY REALLY close, almost there, close enough to touch it, and then somehow... I'm not quite as nearly there as I thought I was. >:( 8-0

Hmm, it's not broken for me.
Could anyone else here tell me if it's broken? ???

First image looks fine to me too.
