The Internet Archive is currently down again and likely will have varying moments of online and offline status. This is due to the website having to be taken offline when changes are made. Rest assured, this is a sign of progress.

This is correct, the article was removed from the LMW due to the film having an official and accessible (though delayed) release.

The Internet Archive is back online. However video playback, OCR searching and logging into accounts is currently not available. These features will likely come back soon.

Correction: The game is actually in possession of Video Game History Foundation-owner Frank Cifaldi.

For fun, here's the OP from the official soundtrack CD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HofB...

The series had various international dubs made in 1995 that are similarly obscure (including an English one that aired in Ireland). Aside from 7 dubbed episodes that have appeared online, no proper release of the complete series exists. Sad fate for a cute fella.

Better late than never report: a previously unseen variant of Yes' 18 "Leave It" music videos surfaced on YouTube on 9/26. It was found on a VHS tape made available at a Yes convention in the 1990s. It's possibly the 18th version but this is unconfirmed. Rejoice! www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4-h...

Color Dreams' co-founder, Dan Lawton, said in an interview in 2001 that "The hardware was done, and the artwork was 20% done, there was no programming. It was a 45 degree down angle view, with a maze of stone and walls and pits."

The Hellraiser NES game, announced by Color Dreams in 1990 and meant to run on the new "super cartridge" hardware, never existed. Due to financial restraints and the declining market, the game never went in development beyond a title screen and an unplayable maze.

In 1982, GCC, who previously developed Crazy Otto (later known as Ms. Pac-Man) created a new game titled "Nightmare." Where the main character, Dr. Roldarr, must escape his cells in the "Realm of Nightmares." Nightmare was never released, and no public ROM dump is available.

The music to "Etcetera" was adapted by McCartney into "Thingumybob" for the Black Dyke Mills Band. Their recording was released as one of the first four singles on Apple Records. It also served as the theme to a LWT sitcom of the same name which is ironically believed to be lost as well.

During sessions for The Beatles' White Album in 1968, Paul McCartney recorded a demo of a song called "Etcetera". It had been intended for Marianne Faithfull to record but she declined. The tape of the demo is believed to have been discarded but an acetate is rumored to be in McCartney's archive.

RUMOR: According to LMW user gokaiorange, a contestant on the show "Let's Make a Deal," hosted by Wayne Brady, appeared on air cosplaying the "Foodfight!" character Daredevil Dan. This has yet to be confirmed.

Ratings soon declined after its premiere (featuring Don Knotts) before being cancelled. It never appeared in syndication or on home media. 3 episodes are available online out of the 10 aired.

Headmaster's replacement The New Andy Griffith Show, Griffith went back to his Southern roots portraying the family life of a South Carolina mayor.

Even with major support from CBS and its sponsors, it flopped and was quickly replaced. Only the opening titles are available online with a single episode held by the Paley Center.

In 1970, Andy Griffith starred in Headmaster, his first series after leaving The Andy Griffith Show. Griffith starred as a principal of a private school in California tackling the social issues of the day.

Bill Melendez Productions, the animation studio behind the early Peanuts specials, seemingly had produced a mysterious special titled "Casey and the Comics". No footage, screencaps, or credits have surfaced on the internet. The only mention of its existence is a small blurb on the studio's website.

One of the more notable things that were a part of the Disney Studio Showcase was Tim Burton's "Hansel and Gretel." It was not available outside of occasional screenings until 2014 when it was uploaded online from a home recording.

Did you know? A series of specials, part of the "Disney Studio Showcase" series, aired on the Disney Channel from 1983-1985. Out of 20 specials on a variety of topics from animation to video games, only 4 have made their way online.

You can read more about the search for Celebrity #6 here: lostmediawiki.com/Celebrity_Nu...

We are relieved to hear that another long search is finally coming to an end. It's a fact that many searches often hit dead ends or run out of steam, so we think this conclusion is a well-deserved one for the Lost Media Community.

Finally uncovering Celebrity #6 is a bright spot amid other ongoing Lost Media searches that we hope will yield positive results. That being said, we'll happily make on updates on this topic when/if they become available.

The photographer, who has been identified as Leandre Escorsell, sent the original photo upon being asked, finally confirming the identity of the mysterious person after a four-year search to be Spanish Model Leticia Sardá.
