And once again, a query for Josh Kirby... Time Warrior!
The only place I have ever seen this was at a local video rental place. The plot is that one night a young man(maybe a teenager) sees a fight between two scientists. One is an old man who has a small spaceship that can travel through different dimensions. The other is a man in a robotic exoskeleton that can also travel through different dimensions. They are bother fighting over a crystal and after the man in the exoskeleton disappears the scientist explains that the another man was his ex-partner who is now evil and plans to use these crystals to do something evil. The scientist requires the young man you help him travel through dimensions in a race to collect all of the crystals.
So I think there were 7 VHS videos and each video they went to a different world. The only two I can remember is one where they are in a giant alien babies room and they have to get a crystal away from the baby. The other is one where everyone is a toy and it is revealed that the man in the exoskeleton is actually the good guy and the young man has been helping the bad guy the entire time!
I have been trying to find this for years. Any help would be appreciated! ~Cheers
