Having talked on MCOG, one cannot overlook another French/Japanese production from my childhood. This show, was very much like MCOG, with the quest aspect playing heavy in the plot. The basic outline of the story is that a lost civilisation that lives deep underground is dying as their sun fails. They have lost all knowledge of their powers so, they send a messanger to the surface to recruit followers to help find the lost texts that will help fix their sun. Spartakus is an escaped gladiator (copied much....) who helps Arkana, a telepathic beauty built by the children of Arkadia. Matt and Rebecca, bro and sis are humans from the surface along for the ride. There are more things, but it's very complicated to explain here. Visit people.ucsc.edu/~jeremys/spartakusmain.htmlThis show was made around 1986/87, and shown on Nickelodeon in the USA, ITV in the UK and ABC in Aust. Anyone else remember. I only just found out it's name a month ago, thank god for the WWW.

I don't think I used to watch it, I can't remember it at all, even after you brought it up and showed me pics, and I heard the theme song, LOL...

While on the subject of this fine cartoon, I would like to put the word out there that I am appealing to anyone who is able to supply me with copies of episodes from this show. I can either pay or trade and I don't mind if it's NTSC or PAL. I must however say that the programme must be in English, not any other and that the standard reflects the price (no dodgy picture for a lot of cash, if you know what I mean). So, if you can help, drop me a line. PLEASE!
