I thought Dartanion had him there for a while!
The 8-bit monitor is epic.
I always loved the music that played during speed chess
@MALONEYCAMFIELD Talons = EPIC
@2TheDeath
thats pretty good. In speed chess anything can happen after all.
“This is Atari 400/800 Chess. I used to have it back in the day. That cart cost $40, believe it or not.”
That must have cost the entire SFX budget of this episode
Gotta love The Klute
enna koppa ithu?
In this episode Blake is doing something really important while Avon and Vila sneak down to break the bank
i thought charles 1st was beheaded.
If I remember correctly, I think Orac gets a draw with him
I loved Deep Roy in Neverending Story, I grew up on that movie and I think he was involved with Dark Crystal too, another fave of mine.
love the music
Friltz made a real mess of that. He should have won that easily !!!
I wonder if this was a real game they used or a composition
Deep Roy has had a nice line in evil little bastards. He played an evil doll in Doctor Who – The Talons of Weng-Chiang – where he also used his wicked laugh.
70s.
Anyone remember Deep Roy as the blowpipe midget villain in The New Avengers?.That guy is just awesome!.
I suspect so, now that I think about it.
Deep Roy did a few Blakes 7 Episodes as i recall, apart from The Klute in Gambit, he was a Decima in The Web and provided the voice of Moloch.
Bound to be a BBC Micro !
The machine is called “Tolinka”, which is a diminutive of Anatoly – meaning Anatoly Karpov. It was named by Viktor Korchnoi at the World Championship in Manila in 1978.
