The History of Gaming Cartoons

1up.com has a feature up delving into the History of Video Game Cartoons, from the quirky Q-Bert to the much maligned Captain N. From the article: "Memories, however, can be problematic. Even when they're good, they can still suck pretty bad. Take, for example, your first ride on a two-wheeler bike. You experienced a short thrill of speed and independence, and then took a nasty spill, tore the seat of your pants to reveal your underwear to your childhood crush, and then likely started crying like a little girl." So true, so true.

Just one letter

"You experienced a short thrill of speed and independence, and then took a nasty pill, tore the seat of your pants to reveal your underwear to your childhood crush, and then likely started crying like a little girl."

It's amazing how much one letter can make a difference.

Not me!!!!

Bah, when I was 6 I fell off my bike and immediately started crying like a grown man.

You young whippersnappers

Try going back and watching Star Trek: The Animated Series. I had fond memories of seeing that in my jammies on Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal. Life just didn't get any better.

Then I watched a few episodes recently. Oooh boy. There are actually some decent stories but the production values are just...blech...

(On a side note, anyone seen the Flash Gordon animation series by Filmation floating around on the net? I've been wanting to see that again, but I can't turn it up anywhere)

Now Space Academy... THERE was s show...
