Ulysses 21 from Troy, Earth, 30th November, 2004

The Seat of Forgetfulness is a good episode, but it kind of lacks a bit of explanation at the end. There is also a good episode called Trapped Between Fire and Ice, that obviously borrows from Alien and Termintor. Funnily enough, the mysterious spaceship they find is said to be from the year 2001. We must have been a lot more optimistic about space travel back in the 80's.

Incidentally, I've noticed a lot of Star Wars samples in use. Particularly Nono the robot, who's stolen R2D2's bleeps. Also, Ulysses' sword sometimes sounds like a lightsabre, as do the Trident spacecraft when they fire their lasers. Obviously Mr Lucas' legal team never spotted it. Or did they?

Eighties Cartoons were the Best...

TheRTW from Wiltshire, 28th February, 2005

Relive the good old days of the early eighties when cartoons had cheesy rock guitar soundtracks, Star Wars inspired laser weaponry and annoying 'comedy sidekick' robots.

Ulysees is well animated and dark. Although this might not be the best of the three volumes, the episodes are characteristically bleak - the heroes are alone in a hostile universe where the Gods are sinister and vindictive and the planets inhabited by evil forces.
