This is kind of a reboot of something I posted before:
Hey, I'm kind of new here so I have no idea if anyone ever brought this up before, someone only mentioned it once in the comment section of the Yeah Yeah Beebiss I page and it hit me like a bullet. So forgive me if this is already known.
So another poster in the YYBI comment section, mentioned that they believed the game was actually an unreleased game called Uforia. Now I have no idea if this is the truth or speculation, but he also brought up a good point: on of the other games on the flyer, Zeta Gundam, was never released--or more so it is released under a different title, Mobile Suit Gundam Z: Hot Scramble if memory serves. That got me to thinking about what on Earth that game was, or if it was the same game with a different title or if it also never released for some reason. That thought stayed with me and then, while I was looking at this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaYOBQdiHlg "The Mystery of Yeah Yeah Beebiss I) the presenter, who also hangs out here from what he says, made an interesting point. This ad is for TRADING IN games, not directly buying them, so one must assume the games were released at some point right? Right?
Yeah but then it hit me: google some of the other games.
A page on the website Unseen 64, which catalogues unreleased or canceled video games. This goes over the fact that Titan Warrior was cancelled in 1988, a year prior to the YYBI flyer being released unless I'm mistaken. I was shocked to see this so I actually at random chose another game, Zombie Master, and googled it too and came up with ANOTHER page from Lost Levels, detailing how Zombie Master was an unreleased game too. That would mean at least two, possibly three other games (depending on how you interpret the Zeta Gundam thing) may or may not exist on this list. And that also is not going into other small flaws and typos with the Play It Again flyer. Bionic Commando is pluralized for example.
I don't know if anyone has ever noticed this before or if this is the first time anyone has even mentioned it, but I believe that this list may include the names of several games either unreleased or canceled, possibly including YYBI. I have yet to explore the Funco flyer to see if similar things pop up but it strikes me as very strange. Maybe someone else has noticed it too? Is it possible these games are lost too? I believe Zombie Master received perhaps a kind of release, but I could find little information on the game on my own. The original, anonymous poster in the YYBI comment section was the first one to even notice this from what I can discern, and he suggested YYBI was actually Uforia, so maybe this person has some knowledge about this too?
Anyway, just something that struck me as bizarre, hope this is useful to anyone searching for YYBI.

Rapsittie Street Kids...and not because it was BAD but because, it really wasn't. The voice acting was actually good, the plot itself, while whimsical and silly, was no more stupid or nonsensical than any other children's special, and the music frankly was great! Especially the end theme. The worse I could genuinely say about it is that the animation was...wow, just wow. BAD!
But...I had heard so much about how terrifyingly bad it was, I expected it would give me cancer or something. At worse it was a poorly animated Christmas special for children which was otherwise fine or even above average (see music). I expected LESS and oddly it turned out to be more, and somehow that kind of let me down. Same with Dinosaur Island.
Now I wish that Wolf Studios or whatever they were called had made more movies, and used more conventional animation. Because if the had, first of all they'd still be in business, and secondly they'd probably be remembered better.
There was a specific episode of this show which has been digging at the back of my mind for twenty-five years. I literally can recount the plot of the episode, but I don't know the title nor do I know if it's possible to find it online. So here we go...
The episode took into account the old legend of the Hammerman, that the character Gramps, an old black dude in a toupee who is kind of a James Brown ripoff, was once Hammerman back in the 1960s. Then he grew too old to be the Hammerman and had to give up the shoes. The intro explains this. However this episode adds something to it.
Apparently there was this evil other musician, apparently a ripoff of Mick Jagger, who dressed in a purple vest and jeans and a bandanna (I believe red) and had a red guitar if I recall. His thing was his music could kill people, "destroy" they said if I recall. In fact he could summon a big red FACE THING, I have no other way to describe it. It was red, with fangs and yellow eyes and he could summon it and it would fly at the screen chomping.
(Oh yeah, the Face Thing may have also been on the back of his vest, like a symbol I distinctly recall that for some reason so I suspect it may have come from his vest somehow)
SOMEHOW, don't ask me how, Gramps said he used his evil music against him to "destroy" him with this Face Thing. Then, decades later, he returns somehow, again I have no idea. And he threatens to destroy the city. Apparently he proves too powerful for either Gramps or Stanley to defeat.
Stanley and Gramps have to work together to stop him, passing the shoes back and forth to overpower him and eventually he is killed ("destroyed") by the Face Thing again. If memory serves it may have had some cockamamie moral, I have no idea what after all these years but if asked to take a guess, for some reason, the theme of discrimination and bigotry was heavy. It is possible that the Face Thing and his "evil music" was the result of him being a bigot or something. For some reason that has stood out to me as a theory for so long.
And that's all I got, thanks in advance to literally help, this has been beating at the back of my mind for over twenty years! Any help would be massively appreciated!

No, but the guy who made RSK did make a version of the Lost World called like Dinosaur Island or something. As far as I know maybe he did throw together a Treasure Island version too.
Did you watch the urban music myth special when it aired over a decade ago? Do you have any evidence of its existence?
I watched an urban music myth special, yes. I have no physical evidence of it. Was there more than one, like one you're aware of?
I posted this on TOMT about it:
"This is something that has stuck with me for years. If I'm right this was either slightly before 2000 or literally at that era, I have a feeling 1998 to 2002 is the basic time frame.
I'm pulling my memories back now but one I distinctly recall on VH1 was a special about mysteries and bizarre occurrences in the music industry, things like the Tupac/Biggie conspiracies and such. The whole thing was shot in weird filters and had this woman wearing a trench coat and walking in a GRAVE YARD and like a forest, and she would 'disappear' or something with bad special effects.
They discussed things like I believe a rumor that Curt Cobain was somehow at a concert after he killed himself, and I believe mention was made of a band whose identities were never known who preformed at some big venue then disappeared, the band-equivalent of Ready N' Steady basically. Hell maybe that was on the list! I think they went into various strange deaths or suicides too.
I know this sounds like the Crackmaster of VH1 but I would bet my life on it being real. If not VH1, MTV then. One or the other, but I have a feeling it was the former for some reason. It was basically a whole special about unsolved murders and bizarre ghostly concerts. Wish I could find it now."

I agree that adding things like lost text and lost speeches sounds like a great idea, really I was unaware that wasn't there to some degree already (I already saw stuff like the Q Gospel, which is fascinating by the way, and I figured it was taken as read stuff like that would go here).
I guess I just want things to not get to "serious", I'm just kind of worried it may have a negative effect on the atmosphere, but I have no actual power so that's just an opinion--and more over I have no issue whatsoever with adding lost political items or other lost texts or books to the stuff here; like I'd love to see maybe some semi-mythical elements added to the "Existence Unconfirmed" category.
Well...I thought it was great, even if the ending kinda came out of nowhere, but then I like gory Saw-type movies. If you're a fan too, yeah I recommend

Well I vote yes, both because I see no harm in it, no one is forcing anyone to search if they don't want to...
But also, please PLEASE let us not start this "purge" nonsense like TV Tropes. I remember TV Tropes early on when there were literally thousands of fun and weird and funny (and yes, not necessarily great or useful but still entertaining) articles and then one day BANG someone decides to "purge" everything they didn't "need" (by someone's estimation) and create this plethora of rules and regulations...let's just slow down the category purging please?
I know I'm not remotely useful, I'm not someone who founded anything I'm just some random nobody. But as someone who really does love this site and the mysteries and weirdness around this stuff I'm asking, let us pull back at the purge movement for a while? Cause I can tell you it's getting rid of stuff you think you don't need now, next month someone is affronted by a picture on a page and every page referencing it is gone, and rules are being made to stop them from ever coming back--it was like that at TV Tropes, it starts small it grows fast.

Thanks dudes. I eventually did figure out a way to get it posted on TOMT like you said, boy was that stupid with the auto-correct but whatever. The movie was "Bane: An Experiment In Human Suffering", I found out literally on New Years Eve. Thanks everyone.

I disagree, I think that cancelled media counts as lost media, but then my definition of "lost" includes "doesn't exist anymore" so I would include never existed in the first place too. If the idea got far enough along as a concept people go looking for it, like ADWSS for example, then it's lost. So yes I think cancelled stuff counts as "lost" inasmuch as it has some grounding in conceptual existence. Also let's be honest, a lot of the stuff people are looking for doesn't even exist now as it's been destroyed or thrown away, erasing all mention of it would be kinda counterproductive, you know? Like most Doctor Who episodes past a certain date are gone forever, period, so keeping SOME kind of record of them is a good idea, as any kind of physical record is now destroyed for good; by that same token I think items which existed conceptually but were never fully realized should be kept too since no physical example of them remains and I don't want to see them just cast out into the wastelands.
That's one of the reasons I got into this stuff in the first place, preserving things or finding things that were lost or considered lost, like protecting endangered species of ideas--and yes I realize how preposterous and cheesy that sounds, go with it. Anyway, stuff like Blood Circus may never show up again...no matter how badly I want to finally see it...so by logical standards it "doesn't exist". But I believe we still need to keep info up on this stuff, so some future generation (by that I mean like 2019) will be able to learn about it or even find it again. That's just my opinion, no importance.

The whole "they seemed uncomfortable it existed" thing I interpreted, and maybe this is me under-thinking it, as more like this person didn't ever really care about it and was kinda creeped out someone else did. Like, again, some mercenary who does animation for like Golden Films and Dingo Pictures, gives shit zero about about it, and barely remembers it...then he hears hundreds of people on the internet are "looking" for him to "talk about" a cartoon he barely if at all remembers that he made decades ago.
He's scared, he's weirded out, for all he knows Crackmaster pissed off some Muslim terror group because the girl wasn't wearing a burqa and if he comes out in public he may he blown to bits. Now obviously that's not what was going on, but some schmuck from, like, Seoul or something who did cartoons for money thirty years ago doesn't know or understand that.
I know that sounds implausible but at this point anything is plausible.
