Robot Wars - The First Great War [VHS]

This VHS Video Tape was most certainly weath buying. It was still celled in celliphane. When I put it into my Video player and preesed play I injoyed every second of it, from beging to end. It is great for the simple reason of nostalger of the very first Robot Wars Series highlights way back in 1997. Ihaving been a fan of robot wars since I was a teenager. It was brliant to relive it again.

Barcode: 0044005864236I was totally addicted to Robot Wars when it was first showing on BBC 2. The presenting was good, the effects and production was amazing for the time but surely the star of the show was the fights. The concept was just incredible with some cool looking robots with great weapons busting each other apart.Everyone knew about how successful robots with flippers could be but you couldn't get past the raw satisfaction of something which literally tore its opponnent apart with a hammer or circular saw.And of course, each weak, the superior house robots remained an ever popular attraction as were the various traps in the arena. Of course, as time went by, the series went through many changes, sadly getting rid of the assault course games and only featuring fights which took away from some of the appeal and variety of the original series. Thankfully, it's that first series you get on this video (all packaged in a cool metal presentation case) although i'll warn you, it is quite heavily cut down from what you would have seen on the TV.
