Title of this film?
An important scientist had a bodyguard, which he outran and the end of a jog and ended in a bathroom, where he was attacked and paralyzed by an assailant with a club. The scientist's work was on making objects move from brain power alone, which he perfected, and he adapted his research into making himself a suit which allowed him to once again walk. He used the suit to hunt down and punish the people who had targeted him. This may have been a made-for-TV film from the 1970's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.164.147.119 (talk) 01:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Help need codes for Akumajō Densetsu
I require the codes for Game Genie (or FCE Ultra address code) for the Akumajō Densetsu. NOT Castlevania III, it is not compatible with the same codes. I need specifically the invulnerability code. I have already checked GameFAQs but have had no luck. Where can I find the codes? 75.170.41.8 (talk) 02:20, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well considering your game Akumajō Densetsu is also known as Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse in the USA, and that fact that Game Genie is for US games...there is no code compatible with your specific game. You can always try to find it at the gamegenie site here: Gamegenie was made for US gamers. As for your emulator, you should not have that in the first place. --n1yaN t  02:31, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Emulators are 100% legal, but the use of them is under debate. It is perfectly legal to use the emulator if you are using a homemade adaptor to connect the cartridge to the computer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.170.41.8 (talk) 02:52, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Very true, but most just download the roms without ever buying the game. n1yaN t 02:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, were there any cheat devices in Japan? 75.170.45.221 (talk) 15:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC) (same person, IP address changed)

Strange TV Show
I remember a certain show from my childhood, and I've been trying to figure out what the heck it was for about 5 years now.

It's a cartoon series about a ghost that rides a motorcycle. It has nothing at all to do with Ghost Rider, I know that for sure. It was more of a "Casper" style ghost, and I believe he may have also had a biker jacket...

I pretty much think it was just a strange dream at this point, so if it actually exists it will be a shock to me.

 * What decade was your childhood? --n1yaN t 23:30, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I grew up in the 1990s, but I think it was a 1980s show (like most of what I watched back then. Also, I know it wasn't Scooby Doo, this was an entire series if I remember correctly. Chris16447 (talk) 00:14, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, it just occurred to me. There was a ghost biker in one of the Scooby Doo episodes, I remember that. I don't have any references for that, but if a light bulb flashed when I said Scooby Doo, I hope I answered your question. --n1yaN t 23:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I know you didn't say it was GR, but he came on many shows during the ninties. * Ghost Rider made a cameo appearance in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends in "The Prison Plot" as one of the illusions shown by Mastermind.


 * Ghost Rider has appeared in the Incredible Hulk animated series on the UPN Network, and in the 1994 Fantastic Four episode "When Calls Galactus." Richard Grieco provided Ghost Rider's voice on both occasions. This Ghost Rider was the Daniel Ketch version, as he used the penance stare both times.
 * It was due to his usage on the UPN cartoons that caused a planned appearance on Spider-Man to be rejected. The episode would have pitted Ghost Rider and Spider-Man against Mysterio and Dormammu.


 * The Ghost Rider appeared briefly as a memory in Gambit's mind during the 1990s Fox Broadcasting Company X-Men animated series; he did not speak on that occasion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Niyant (talk • contribs) 01:31, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
