Playboy magazine used to be fat. No, I’m not talking about the women (and, yes, this post is entirely suitable for work).

The magazines were hundreds of pages thick containing a lot more advertisements and longer articles than you’ll find in today’s comparatively anemic issues. Thanks to a collector Gamertell writer, we have some especially groovy retro video game and tech scans to share with you…

Title: Quark: The Complete SeriesPrice: $19.95Release Date: September 2, 2008Studio: Sony PicturesRating: Not Rated.Pros: A relatively unknown sci fi parody TV series resurrected for home video for the first time. Hokey humor, cheesy Star Trek homages, blatant stereotyping and over-the-top acting make this so bad it’s funny.Cons: Complete lack of extra features.Overall Score: One thumb up, one thumb sideways; 80/100; B-; * * * out of five.

Yes, the name might be a bit confusing to some. This is not a desktop publishing application. This is not about subatomic particles. It is not even about a big-eared bartender from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Quark is, simply put, a disco parody of mid-’70s sci fi that’s so bad, it’s good…
