>I don't know what a letterman's jacket is
Anyway, on topic for the thread Saturday Supercade was aimed at me when I was that age. Captain N tried but missed the mark somewhat. Needed more shades of Freakazoid..

Seems about it... But my god, look at the buck teeth.

Nick arcade was awesome when I was a kid. Lame ass fuck when I watch it on YouTube now.

Check out Ted Turner's STARCADE for a much better take on the video game show. Phil Moore was the most intolerable shoeshine nigger ever.

I remember loving having a reliable vg-based gameshow. I preferred Video Power, but it seemed like it was only on "sometimes." Never showed up in the TV Guide, either. First place I learned the value of a NeoGeo console.

>Were you excited or disappointed when you realized it was Friday, and the Super Mario Bros Super Show was going to be replaced by the Legend of Zelda cartoon?
I was kinda meh about it, but my mom always looked forward to it. She thought Mario (and most of the other shows I watched as a kid) was dumb, Zelda was the only cartoon she would sit down to watch along with me.

Any Canadians remember Video and Arcade Top 10?

>>3433307
Yeah i did.

They had some exclusive versions of games if i last recall.

>>3432475
Nick arcade was always lame as a matter of the producers picking the dumbest morherfuckers as contestants.

In Germany, Kevin is one of those stereotypical names along with Justin, Cindy, Jaqueline, Chantal, etc. that only low-class people give their soon-to-be problem childs.
Kevin isn't just a name here, it's a diagnosis.

And speaking of Germany:

Anyone here who remembers Games World?
Even as a kid I thought it was some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen, featuring the bastard offspring of Sportacus and /v/ and the worst gamers you could think of.

And I loved every minute of it.

I vaguely remember this one show that you called in to and you could control the game with your phone. I saw a few episodes, but I only remember the game Lawnmower Man. It was one of the VR sequence stages that the caller was controlling. I also remember that the show didn't last long. Anyone else remember this show?

does ANYONE remember the game review show TWITCH that was on in 1995-1996?

It was on some weird ass cable channel called Preview TV, which would show episodes from various premium cable channels (not pay channel premium, not hbo or anything) to entice people with basic cable to get a higher level tier.

They had this show called Twitch however that was a review show for video games. I fucking loved it. here is the IMDB

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1744868/

I can't find any copies on youtube.

>>3434213
Yes I remember this weird ass show. I remember it was like, new years eve 1993 or something and I was watching it. They had two people playing Mortal Kombat against each other and one kid mopped the floor with the other, he didn't even move once. It was so weird, like 5 of the numbers were for moving and 4 of them were attacks. Such a weird time where technology was before the internet .

Australians had the best vidya gaem /tv/ shows on the telly m8.

I've posted about this before and nobody else seems to remember it. I was tempted to post it ITT earlier, but decided against it because I thought none of you woulda known it.

I got to play Cool Spot on it.

We were living in the US at the time (we went back and forth a lot in the 90s) and I was lucky enough to be in America when that show was on.

>>3434463
Holy shit, you actually did it? What was it like?

It was kind of a weird parody of the Bruce Willis romance comedy show "Moonlighting"

It seemed somewhat loyal to the game series, in a stilted "we won't do much world-building beyond what's already been established" way.

Loosely related, but does anyone have a download or torrent link for the pokemon tv show?

My computer decided to nuke the folder containing seasons 1-15, the movies, OST, and pikachu OVAs.

I also just found out that Kickass Tor died along with publicbt.
Fuck.

>>3434403
>>3434463
Awesome. This is the first time I've ever mentioned this show and a few people have actually seen it.

One of the episodes that I saw showed the host throwing his hands up in exasperation at someone off camera right as they cut back to him. Apparently he noticed and it embarrassed the hell out of him, but he rolled with it and jumped right back into host mode. It's weird, but I remember the incident clearly.

Fuck, I wanna see that show again, just for nostalgia sake. I saw maybe five or six episodes and then poof, it disappeared.

>>3432451
Why does '80s to early '90s anime look so good? Even the cheap shit is nice to look at.

>>3433379
We only had public channels so all I watched was X-Base.

This hurt me way more that Megaupload going down.

I remember a show called Game Nation back in 1995. I mainly only remember them talking about the "upcoming" DKC2, and it was nice to see actual footage of a game for once compared to just reading magazines. Of the three hosts, two were just people in TV screens. I remember they even had a contest to send in the origin story of how they got in there, and the winning entry involved the girl getting teleported by a Star Trek transporter.

Only reason I remember the name was because one episode had a joke with the guy in the TV wearing a condom hat during a self-parody bit with a show called "Condom Nation".

No mention of The Power Team/Video Power? boooo

Born in 89, one night while channel surfing ~1999/2000 found an episode of the Super Mario World cartoon airing. All the mario shows had been off the air for years at that point, I never had any Mario tapes or even knew there was a show, but had played all the main Mario games and was a fan, it was a pretty big thing for me to see it on tv! Even cooler was when it ended an episode of the Mario Bros 3 cartoon aired. Both episodes were intercut with short safety tips from Inspector Gadget, like proper campfire etiquette, ect, so I wonder if whatever station (PAX I think was the abbr.) aired it that night had just found an old reel and aired it accidentally instead of their current broadcast. I remember staying up late trying to see more episodes, but I never saw any aside from that first night.

i used to watch it all the time, even though i thought it was stupid

i loved how 90% of their "tips" were "you can pause the game with the start button!!!" tier

>>3432451
Arashi showed up in a separate anime/manga by a different author/artist called Arcade Gamer Fubuki - he's the guy wearing a Pac-Man ghost mask. That series also features retro arcade games.

>>3434975
Is torrenting going to die by the end of this decade?

>>3435835
Maybe.

On the flip side this could mean a surge in physical piracy, usually done on a local scale by people who travel around to flea markets and such it's harder to pin down.

>>3436089
Aw hell no.

I torrent to much obscure shit for that.

I was barely lucky enough to get Dark Void right before the last torrent of it died.

>>3433307
This was no point in watching it after seeing Electric Playground.

Did we ever figure out what he actually got his letter in? Usually you have to be on some kind of TEAM or something and Kevin was well.. how can I put this nicely..a phenomenal pussy.

>>3432451

Dutch-kun here, I remember watching a German show way back when. Did they also show Arcade/Neo Geo games? I remember that...shit was so cool.

>>3434471
I only played for a few minutes because I kept running into that first fucking hermit crab. I think the controls weren't very responsive or something. I don't know. Overall, the experience wasn't great.

>the host
>he
Does anyone remember the name of the host? I don't remember clearly, but I think when I tried it, it was that newsanchor lady thing that did the Fox Kids news stuff which was titled "Your World." It was quite unlike today's "Your World" the one with Neil Cavuto. I think her name was Stacy/ie or Tracy/ie something. I remember her saying "I'm Stacy/ie/Tracy/ie so-and-so and this is Your World" at the beginning of each 1-2 minute Your World segment.

I don't remember it too well because I still hadn't mastered English quite yet and English-language names were weird to me at the time.

"The Big Game" aka "that episode where they completely butcher the bosses of Mega Man 2" has Wily actually bring the gym of his school and some of his classmates to Video Land. It's there that it's revealed that his school is called "North Ridge High", and he himself was on the Junior Varsity swim team.

That's nothing. Let me blow your mind.

>Captain N's crew were rarely provided adequate reference materials, and often had to design the characters and enemies based on actually playing the game in question to draw their interpretations of the blurry, pixelly sprites
>The Quest for the Potion of Power was the Zelda 2 episode
>The cast journeys through a desert where rocks fly through the air nonstop, before dispatching Horsehead in the their first dungeon
>They take a secret underground passage located in a graveyard to reach the Island Palace, where they fight an Iron Knuckle on its steed as a boss.
>finally, they learn Reflect magic, used to defeat a wizard (Ganon) by sending his own magic back at him

>yfw when you realize the people who made Captain N were better at Zelda II than most gamers

So we all agree that the Wizardry OVA is the best video game movie right?

I remember watching the Super Mario Super Show quite a lot, the live action bits were and always will be the best part of the show.

>>3440915

well, being 100 percent honest I think that had less to do with anything else and more to do with the cartoon parts being nonsensical and frankly retarded

>>3435835
Nope, just moving to smaller, dedicated private trackers.

>There's still so much we haven't been able to recover after Megaupload went down

Like what, out of curiosity?
I was generally able to find everything I wanted on KAT.

>>3440889
Did everything have an OVA back then? I figure that Japanese people are usually busy and don't have time for movies except for NEETs and hikis who weren't nearly as numerous during that time.

>>3439330
What was the point of this statement?
And relevance does it have to me? I knew all this. If you grew up back then you would have also.

>>3443565
Ninja Gaiden had an OVA, based loosely on taking place after the second game.

I say loosely because the way it treats Irene is just insulting to the character.

>>3443565
It was considered a good cross-promotion back then. Game people buy the anime, anime people get interested in the game.
During the bubble economy investors were willing to risk money for such things.
They were typically only 30 or 50 minutes in total and often had only light connections to the original.

>>3443848
It's not even consistent with the first two NES games.
