  1. Electric Dreams is a classic!

    • I’m glad you think so, Teacasey! So many great bits – the computer’s voice, the orchestra mimicking scene, Miles’ bow ties, Virginia Madsen’s lovely hair and voice, the earthquake animation sequence set to a Culture Club song… and then the final song. Aaaaahhhhh!

  2. OK, so I’ve upgraded Electric Dreams, at the cost of Cry Freedom.
