Post by: Sho Nuff on September 20, 2013, 01:54:28 PM: I never saw the original show with the cartoon. I would, however, wake up at 6:30 to turn on my Apple IIgs, use my MODEM to dial into the local BBS's before school, and watch the second series of Video Power where it was the most distinguished mentally-challenged game show of all time

Remember the POWER MALL
