July 4

[edit]

Long lost CD

[edit]

In 1995-96, I bought an awesome cd titled somthing like "Rythym of the night." It was a compilation cd with love songs by various artists, but i can no longer find the cd or any information on the song format online. Can you help?

Is this what you are looking for [1]? It came out in 1998, and it is mostly R&B. --Joelmills 21:40, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another old computer game

[edit]

I think this game was on a demo disc for the amiga. But I LOVED it.

It had a series of levels. You controlled a little yellow balloon fellow who would pop when he died. The enemies were all fire/ice/rock/light/dark based. And there were holes at the bottom of the level labelled with these elements. If an enemy fell through one of the holes, they would change to that type of enemy, And you had to fall through holes to change your ammo (you could only kill the enemies with like-elements). There was no AI, the enemies just fell. I remember one of the powerups being a flower - that might have finished the current level. Any Idea what this game was called?213.48.15.234 07:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what's the movie called?

[edit]

I remember watching a movie once about a family living on a space ship travelling to another solar system. Except it wasn't a space-craft, only a simulator/experiment in space travel. What was ironic was that after 3 generations they thought that the habitants of the simulator would have no knowledge of earth, and yet the young children knew all along that it was simulator and merely played along with the "game". I remember the simulator was always spinning to keep up the pretence of motion, and there was a psychiatrist who acted as the link between the space-ship and the real world. A bit like the Truman show in a space simulator. But what was the movie called? 137.138.116.151 08:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In cases like these is usually just easier to email someone at the website and ask. Recury 13:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pokemon Adventures

[edit]

Where can I read Pokemon Adventures (the manga) subbed in english online? Reply here or on My Talk Page. -I PWN U ALL 22:41, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scans of manga, being of the same legality as DVD rips of a TV show, would be hard to find one there is an official English translation (based on the somewhat unspoken agreement between anime fans and the distributors whereby they promise to stop distributing the fan translation once the product is licensed for English distribution). Since Pokémon Adventures has, apparently, been released by VIZ Media (and I think I may have seen it in a store somewhere), you would be extremely unlikely to find anyone distributing scanlations. (Not to say they wouldn't be out there, but they'd be much harder than if it weren't officially licensed, and you'd have a hard time finding them by asking on a place like Wikipedia where we try to keep things just this side of legal.) Have you considered looking in a bookstore? Confusing Manifestation 05:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to read them to get some information to expand the manga sections on the Pokemon. That's all. I mean I'll go for a synopisis.-Fear teh Happy! 16:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
