| Damnation Alley, circa 1977 and replayed endlessly on the telly while I was growing up.
“Tanner this is Denton! This whole town is infested with killer cockroaches. I repeat: KILLER COCKROACHES!”
I distinctly remember the vehicle used (a customized rv/tank) called the Landmaster. Also the giant insects and scorpions and the fact that the were trying to reach Albany, because it’s the only place they’d ever gotten a signal from.
Apocalyptic nightmare travel had never seemed so fun! Shortly after seeing this about 30 times on one of my local stations I also picked up (courtesy of Cavtroop) two books that have stuck with me. Warday and Emergence. |
