Title: VIDEO POWER! Let's go back in time!
Post by: originalz on March 25, 2010, 12:12:32 AM
Heh, anyone remember this show?  I just found some episodes on Youtube.  Used to watch it as a kid, wanted to be on it so badly, bloody hell it's hardly watchable now!

Bah, no parts of the first Ninja Gaiden take place in Japan!

MLG ain't got nothing on this!  There was also Nick Arcade, which was possibly even worse of a show.  Gaming was mad mainstream, yo.

Never heard of this.  What network(s) did it used to be on and when?  All I remember is Gamepro TV and then much later, Steve N' Dave's Video Game EXPLOSION, which was awesome.

I droooooled over the game run section at the end as a kid.  Did they really get to keep all the games they got?

This ran on WPMT Fox 43 in Lancaster, PA at 6am in the morning. I'd wake up and have this playing in the background as I'd call the local BBS's. :rock

Weekdays or weekends?  If it's the former, that explains it.  I was living on Long Island at the time (so I guess Fox 23[?] there too) and rarely watched TV on school mornings.

I don't remember the channel, but I think it used to be on after school where I lived.

I always thought that the kids who weren't nabbing Neo-Geos on the last segment were fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

I THINK that it was on weekdays but that's really a lot of episodes. Still, it didn't have the special-ness of GAMEPRO TV which ran on Saturday mornings.

is this the show that used to have the "Power Team" cartoon with it? That cartoon was hilarious. I remember there was one fat tomato man character called Quark or something. In one episode he become a popular performance artist, he put on leather jacket and dark shades and did some bizarre spoken word piece with no music or something. Its was some of the most revolutionary poetry ever! "Quark, is my name...... and, I'm in a, video game." Then his bros started accusing him of selling out because he put the hos before them or something. I saw that when I was 9 but it is still BURNED INTO MY MIND
