Man, the difference that special effects have undergone. These days it would've been "a half dozen people sat in front of PCs for a week."

that HBO entry is associated with all kinds of good memories for me. It was a special treat to stay up late and watch something.

OMG I remember that, well I remember the music and the later part. I don't remember the town.

I think they started using a shortened version of it after a few years.

I've never seen this intro (I was also made in 1983 :biggrin, but the model town reminds me of the intro to Mr. Roger's Neighbourhood. Very sweet.

You gotta admit, that was an impressive piece of work. I remember it as a kid. Wow, how time flies.
