Dire FFE Intercom videos

I'd heard rumours about actors in the 'live action' intercom messages in Frontier: First Encounters being at best 'wooden' and at worst, downright awful and I wondered if there was any truth to the rumours. Well, after a lengthy, well quite lengthy, well okay a couple of minutes, search on YouTube I unearthed these:

Part 1
Part 2

Barf buckets at the ready....

Nice find!

I watched the first one, but I need to take a break. My intelligence circuits appear to have melted.

Yeah, I had to drag Stepan away from the monitor. He thought that they really nailed the characterisations....

....but this is from a navigator who took three hours to find his way from his quarters on 'B' deck to the bridge on 'A' deck.

Oh God. This is awesome. These videos are priceless for their comedy value alone.

I remember the gaming press was very excited at the time as it was pretty much the first game to have any FMV (Full Motion Video - hmmm... can you get part motion video then??)

I remember being distinctly underwhelmed...

To be honest, I think the denizens of this board could do better than that.

Yes. They produce a lot of it in Japan. :-)
