Q-Bert
Dungeons & Dragons (though at the time it wasn't a video game, I guess)

Heh about gameshows with video games, I remember a few years ago catching an episode of Jeopardy when it was college week. One of the guys just screamed (to me) "video game dork." When one of the "answers" came up and read something like

"This is the number 1 selling CD-ROM game of all time, where your adventures take place on a mysterious island and you use books to teleport you places."

The guy who obviously looked like a video game dork (we can smell our own) was clicking away on his answer button as if he was playing metroid or something to beat out the other contestants. He got in first, and then tried to veil his enthusiasm by attempting to be cool (he wasn't) and said, "What is Myst?" with a geeky smirk.

I had to laugh.

On another note, anyone remember Captain Power? It wasn't a video game per se... well, I guess "technically" it was. You watched videos and took your little toy space jet and fired it at the screen. It was also a decent Saturday morning live action show with computer generated (which back then was rare in a tv show) bad guys.

TeamXbox had an article saying that there will be a Dead or Alive movie.

 

Maybe there should be another htread on Videogame Movies. I also heard about the DOA movie, hope it doesn't flop.

With Darth_Kevin's I would like to start a thread about Video Game Movies. I guess I need permision from you I dont know why but I feel like I do. So?

 

There was one, really old, that involved Master Blaster, Bigfoot the Monster Truck from the video game of the same name, the Wizards and Warriors guy and some video game basketball player. All four were from games from the same company. All were NES games.

And all 4 joined forces.

 

There were 2 Sonic the Hedgehog games.

 

Anyone remembers the old catch phase:" leaping lasagne it's the Super Mario Bros. Super Show"?

I used to watch the Super Mario Bros. Super Show when I was in yr 2.

 

HALO: The Movie. It should happen. Let's make it happen!

 

What about Sam and Max and Earthworm Jim,
The latter featuring one of the most catchy theme tunes EVER.

 

son of the tears, those games were all by Acclaim. Now that you mentioned it, I seem to vaguely recall a show like that.

Is Pokemon a show based on a game, or a game based on a show?

Jomero, D&D would not count, since it is a show about an RPG. Pole Position, man it's been a while since I thought about that one....

Nice Kevin. As a note Mario had three versions. The original which was mainly based on both 1&2. Then there was SMB3. After that the final version was based on the first SNES Mario game. Speaking of Mario and Zelda.... Who remembers the NES cereal or trading cards?

 

The Pokemon game was quite good- it's the cartoon which sucks

That I've to agree, the cartoon is giving the game a bad name

Same with with Cardcaptors, Digimon, Yugi-Oh and all other inane kiddie-animés. Maybe I'm just too old for a concept that appeals more to the 5-10 year old masses. Sorry.

I understand about those kiddy animé, but you rate Pokemon by it's cartoon and not by it's game. The games are quite good you know.

There was one, really old, that involved Master Blaster, Bigfoot the Monster Truck from the video game of the same name, the Wizards and Warriors guy and some video game basketball player. All four were from games from the same company. All were NES games.

I remember that, it was the same show that showed cheats and tricks for NES games and reviews for them as well. The cartoon was quite funny.

 

stop ribbing on pokemon the series........i found it pretty funny to watch.

 

I enjoyed the first few episodes.
That Brok, how we laughed over the fact that he always had his eyes closed.
And Jessie... did she have one of the best Animè hairstyles ever or what?

 

I think I just rememberd the name of the show that someone said "Master Blaster, Bigfoot the truck, etc." was in.

Wasn't it Kid Video?
