(...) 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 (...)

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 (...)
