Le Anime et stuff.

 Got two things this week, first up is an update of stuff and the second is a video, both are French, or rather in the first case, French Canadian.

Videotron Update.

Not sure if I ever wrote about this before, but for a time our cable box was supplied by Videotron rather than Cable and Wireless. This meant we had some primitive games to play on our TV as a service along with cable television to our notoriously bad reception area.

There's an update of sorts on HG101, where one of the games (an ambitious adventure title is being reworked as a Coleco / NES game.  We still have our old remote in the cupboard at home along with a found manual, I picked up from the rubbish years ago. 

And if any of the games should get a rework, then its the break out game where you got an extra life for hitting a goldfish or the Qix clone, both were pretty good. 

The booklet I will have to dig out and scan if I haven't done already done so. Maybe add to Archive.org as well, but see below.

Jeane et Serge.

We picked up a tape called Jeane et Serge (Attacker You) along with a south bank show on electronic music that may have been overwritten by Power Rangers, along with something that just says X ray Documentary 1996.

Jeane et Serge is part of the Dans La Meme collection which has dubbed versions of Kickers, Ai Shite Knight, Story of the Alps: My Annette, Hiatari Ryoko!  Swiss Family Robinson: Flone Of The Mysterious Island and Pollyanna.

 I've romanized some of the titles here to their Japanese originals, and will kind of add a scan when I'm not busy. I have decorating to do, as my bedroom is being overhauled for the first time in years. We have a lot of stuff to shift.

From what I can tell, its a volleyball anime with some romantic overtones. The UK missed out on some stuff can only really remember Robotech or Voltron, being the parallel series back in the day, and that was strictly cable only. 

 Edit 

South bank tape is entirely overwritten by Power Rangers. On the upside have recorded some Mr Motivator bits and pieces and some ads along with some CITV from a Saturday. Still no sign of the Videotron manual though.
