From: djlerda@juno4tag.com Subject: Space1999: Laser rifles Date: Mon, 09 Mar 1998 02:20:04 EST I was looking at a picture from "Alpha Child" of an astronaut on the lunar surface with one of the laser rifles when a thought struck me: was this style of laser rifle ever seen in any other episode? To the best of my recollection it wasn't. All of the other laser rifles we saw had stocks which looped around the shoulder. Just wondering........... David J Lerda, djlerda@juno.com

Here's the current web site URL: http://space.tin.it/giochi/mmajelli/index.htm Maurizio has done a very cool job on updating the web site, so if you haven't seen it in awhile, have a look. I've played Quake: HDR and it's amazing. (Then I accidentally deleted the files somehow. I miss it.)

It is very difficult to get the game in Germany, because it was put on the index. But I can't play HDR without QUAKE. Who can help to get the full version of the game? Ekmar
From: David Acheson (dkach@hot-mail.com) Subject: Space1999: Calendar Date: Thu, 19 Mar 1998 19:58:01 EST Somehow the topic of calendars came up at the office today and it just hit me that it would be a neat idea to have a SPACE: 1999 calendar for the year 1999. Now, if only someone makes it.

What about it John, do you have enough advance warning to take this on? I'll put in an order for 3 right now!

I was thinking of putting together a promotional calendar for my graphic design business anyway. It would be fun to do an S99 one, too. Does anyone have access to good-quality photos from the show (8x10 glossy prints, for example--not photos from books or magazines)? Would we "get in trouble" from the powers that be if we were to use them in such a project? Maybe we could include fan artwork--paintings, technical illustrations, etc. As far as the format is concerned, while the traditional calendar format we're used to purchasing is very good, I believe that the cost of producing and printing it would be prohibitive. It might be better to go for more of an all-year "poster" format (I get lots of promotional pieces in this format, it's pretty common). Are any list members printers that could print it at cost, or at a reduced cost? Here are a few ideas: Highlight the S99 events in September Include a graphic representation of the S99 timeline--maybe as a center spread Include birthdays of cast members and some of the main production people Include info on the newsgroup and main S99 Websites Does anyone have any other ideas/suggestions? James
[EDITOR'S UPDATE (10/10/98): One has ended up being produced by Slow Dazzle. At this point, several list members have just ordered it.]
