If you have Sci-Fi, they have a show about Jules Verne - it's not very good
story-wise, but there's some decent special effects; it features things like
giant airships, an underground drilling vehicle, a hover tank, a robot, etc.
Also, Disney is coming out with "Atlantis", which looks like it has all
kinds of Vernesque stuff.
There was another RPG, Space 1889 (?) I'm not sure how relevant it might be,
but I'm fairly certain that it was Victorian-era space travel.
Some of H.G. Wells stuff is probably applicable.

| (...) Space: 1889 was indeed a victorian space-travel game. It's fairly applicable, although I don't think it was widely played and info about it might be hard to find- especially since West End Games, the company that produced it, hasn't been doing (...)
