Captin N The Game Master

[Nin-Nin69]

This is one of my favorite old school cartoons. This show had to be one of the greatest inspirations for americans to be geared towards video games. It was about your average gamer (nerd who lives in his house 24/7) named Kevin and his dog who were sucked into Kevin's TV and sent to a world called Video Land where he met the ruler Princess Lana. She needed Kevin to be her guardian and help her defeat the evil Mother Brain from Metroid. He was also aided by fellow video game characters like Kid Icarus "Pit" from Kid Icarus, Simon Belmont from Castlevania, Mega Man from Mega Man, Samus from Metroid, Little Mac from Punch Out, Bayou Billy from The Adventures of Bayou Billy, Link and Zelda from The Legend of Zelda, Mario and Luigi from Mario Bros/ Super Mario Bros, and a Game Boy. They travel to different lands like Tetris Land where everyone is shaped like blocks, Mega Land where Mega Man lives, Castlevania where Dracula and Alucard live, and Jungle Land where Donkey Kong lives. The weardest thing about the show was their impression on how each character looked. For example Mega Man was very small and green, Simon dressed like a mountain climber and a backpack full of all sorts of junk and he had a fruity attitude, Count Dracula looked more like the Joker because of the cover from the first Castlevana, and Bayou Billy looked more like Crocodile Dundee on drugs. I don't know why this show hasn't been put onto DVD or back on Saturday Mornings yet, but once you see it you'll first go "Man those were some gay one liners" but then you'll say "that was a weird and entertaining comparison to the real game."

Also for the video gamers out there, there are many other great show that were video games turned into shows.
Bigfoot (Bigfoot was with a guy from Arch Riavles, the guy from NARC, a Tomato with sunglasses from a Game Boy game while battling the boss from NARC and the boss from that Tomato game)
Pole Position (It was more like Spy Hunter with kids)
Double Dragon
Earthworm Jim
Super Mario Bros Super Show (also had a SMB3 cartoon)

I liked the spin-off show, Mario All-Stars, better. Instead of taking "chances," you get both a cartoon with Toad AND one with Yoshi. Yee-haw!

Actually I thought Super Mario All Stars was the Super Show episodes and the Mario 3 episodes PLUS the Mario World episodes, just without the Captain Lou segments in the Super Show...


....



did that make ANY sense?

I'm glad you mentioned this show (which is certainly not called Bigfoot) because I remember it being on before school when I was in high school. I just can't remember the name Team Power, Max Force, Power Force? It was something like that. There was a live action part with a red haired guy giving out gaming tips and codes. It was truly one of the worst peices of junk I've seen, but I think I'd get a kick out of it today. What kind of shows do they have on the new gaming chanel?

BTW there is a Super Mario Bros Super Show with 6 episodes when they made fun of movies like Mad Max or Godzilla including 2 Legend of Zelda cartoons on DVD and a Sonic the Hedgehog DVD with 4 episodes <they were supose to be the best episodes, but they were the worst episodes from what I remember>.

God I wish I had that channel! Crappy premium plan! I deserve better! :mad:
