I was just thinking about that cartoon with Wayne Gretzky, Bo Jackson, (and was it Micheal Jordan?) where they were like a crime fighting force or something. I can't remember what it was called, it has been bugging me all day.

And also wasn't there like a Video game inspired cartoon with Big Foot(the monster truck) and like a barbarian?

Damn, my mind just remembers odd stuff randomly.

First one was called Pro Stars. Awful, awful cartoon. The second one... well, I can't recall it at all. Hmm.

And that's...Video Power.

It had Bigfoot, Max (from NARC), Quirk, Tyrone (from Arch Rivals) and Kuros (from Wizards and Warriors).

Thanks you two, those were some odd memories. I only remember a very little bit of Video Power, its wasn't as cool as Captain N though.

Now, wait, was that before or after Johnny Arcade hosted the Video Power game show? I don't remember much about that game show other than it's name, it's host and that it was so incredibly bad that I couldn't help but watch it.

During. Video Power (5 min) > Power Team (15 min) > Video Power (5 min) was the flow of the show

Yes, and in the end you could watch a screen shot of Double Dragon with "80's rock music (for kids only)", Wasn't that the ULTIMATE????!!!! (plus the experience was complete with the add of the awful spanish dubbing).

edit: hungry.

The show itself showed crappy gaming tips + some lazy reviews (I bet my right eye that all that was taken from video power magazine, since it was from the NES age).

I remember I watched that crap A LOT; as far as I recall it had only 1 season.

Shows like that...

Wow that reminds me, I still remember the damn video game cartoons from before Captain N, back in the Atari days. Frogger, Space Ace, Dragon's Lair, Pac Man, Donkey Kong... I think they were all part of some show but I can't remember the name.

I guess we've come a long way. Or not.

Space Ace, Frogger, Dragon's Lair and Pac Man where all their own shows...

Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Kangaroo, Pitfall Harry and Q-Bert made up what was called 'The CBS Saturday Supercade'. An hour or 2 long programming block, I believe...
Which was followed by Pole Position and Dungeons and Dragons...

I used to watch Video Power in the morning. That was the cartoon where the mobster like dudes tried to capture some video game characters in Game Boy carts, right? I remember the live action part, too. I liked that show.

Old in-joke about Video Power:

Power Team: "Oh no! Malkil zapped all the food in Sindarin! Mmm... Kwirk...."

P.S. Kwirk was the tomato.

I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.
I will rule the world

and find that truly good cup of coffee.
