Hey

For anyone that wants the series on DVD. You can e-mail me and I'll tell you what site you can look on. I found one that is selling the whole set of 5 DVDs for 40 dollars. I loved this series and they never did show past the 7th rule. It might have been 6 but I know Bloth had one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite good in truth..., September 4, 2000

This review is from: Pirates of Dark Water:Saga Begins [VHS] (VHS Tape)

On the ocean-covered planet of Mer, the once glorious Kingdom of Octopon is under siege by a vile pirate-giant named Bloth and his crew of inhuman marauders. Ren, who has spent his own 17 years in a lighthouse, discovers that he is the son of King Prymus, ruler of Octopon, who journeyed for the 6 treasures of rule, since he had the first 7. Prymus was capture by Bloth but not before telling his companions to hide the first 7 treasures and their compass. When Prymus escapes he manages to reach Ren, but only to be claimed by the sea, forever.

It is now Ren's destiny to find all Thirteen treasures of rule, with the magic compass. He is not alone however. At his side is the exotic and ingenious Tula , the thief Ioz and Niddler, a monkey-bird who is always hungry for a bit of food.

But the quest for the treasures is not a smooth sea trip. Bloth is on his trail and the unexplored seas and fraught with sea monsters, dangerous `dark waters' and new lands and peoples.

Enjoyable adventure and action, with a lot of wit and jokes. Even after 5 years of having it in my possession, I still find it exciting to watch. It'll make a good gift for kids, especially boys.
