Following on from my post on Space 1999 comics, here we have
the six page gate fold cover version of the GAF View-master Space 1999 stereo
picture slides, which could be viewed using the View- Master viewer.
I believe this packaging was only available in the UK, while
a sleeve version was sold in the USA.
Three of the pages describe what’s happening on each of the
discs. The back page is a brief synopsis.
The discs are dated 1974 and refer to the story as ‘The
Power of Fear’, although the specially taken 3D pictures are from the first
season episode ‘War Games’. The original
‘War Games ‘story title was used on the discs in the American version.
Very cool! I had this!
ReplyDeleteLoved my Viewmaster.
ReplyDeleteI had dinosaur and Apollo sets along with some astronomy and geology ones.
Got a Talking Viewmaster on Christmas. It was a big thing with scratchy sounding vocals produced from plastic "records" stuck to the slides.
Still have it somewhere in its big packaging drum!
That 'sounds' like an intriguing gadget ,Eviled .
ReplyDeleteThere was a talking Space 1999 VIew-master as well apparently. I wonder what that sounded like ?
Hi Scoop.
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was a talking Space 1999 Viewmaster set of slides. I would have so wanted them being a fan of the show...the first season, not so much the second.
