An awesome and gripping series

I remember when this series first came to America on video tape (which was the *new* format), and staying up all night watching each chapter. Perhaps one of the best series I have ever seen in my life, and this was before Hong Kong studios were able to produce slick movies like they do today. For me this was *the* classic epic mini-series; two friends growing up growing apart, life in the mob and the changing times around them.

Would love to see this again, but I have never found this on any format. Heck, I would love to own this on DVD!!!
