UK video releasestwo tapes have been released (though they've been re-issued twice with different artwork). They are extremely badly cut - basically being 2 movies hacked together, each trying to tell a different story... "The Thalian Space Wars"
click on the images to see more detailed scans... "Space Quest For F-01"
click on the images to see more detailed scans... this tape was also released - it's extremely rare and features episodes 04 & 05 combined into a mini movie...
US video releasesThese each contain 3 episodes, unfortunately they are edited. All opening and closing credits between episodes have been removed, plus there are several other (in some cases VERY bad) cuts - presumably to bring each tape to just under an hour in length... This tape was also released, I think it contains episodes 01 - 04 but I'm not certain! I won it on Ebay - only to have the seller contact me to say it had broken when he rewound it...
Canadian video releasesThese each contain 2 uncut episodes - unfortunately they are not Stereo recordings and it seems only four tapes were released, so there are still 16 episodes which have never been released uncut... I also don't have the tape with episodes 5 & 6 - the third tape below is a re-issue of episodes 3 & 4 in different packaging (stickers with the episode informaton have been put on the box so I'm not sure if this artwork was supposed to be for a different tape or not...) Japanese laser disc releasesA box set of 7 discs containing all 26 episodes was released in 1993. Also, the english "Space Quest For F-01" was released separately...
