Retro Revival Week is now half over and there are a bunch of you guys taking part in it. Not to try to get you to pull yourselves away from your games, but maybe you can take a break, relax and watch some of GamePro TV. I remember my dad waking up at 5am just so he could tape the show for me. Sometimes, I would wake up from the light of the TV peaking through my door and I would come out and watch it with him.
There was also another video game show that I have never seen until YouTube had some episodes. Video Power was a game show that involved video game trivia and a round where kids would compete for a high score. I can't seem to find any episodes that I used to watch so I can't link them. I thought this show was kinda corny but was awesome because it was from the 90's and corny back then makes it awesome now.
I couldn't make a blog about TV shows without having Nick Arcade on there could I? This was my second favorite show about video games next to GamePro. Even though a couple of the games weren't real, it was still a great show to wake up to. All I cared about were seeing the video games. If it was still on, I would absolutely watch it.
There were also shows based on Super Mario and Zelda. I actually have the Super Mario Brothers Super Show on DVD. I think they also have the Zelda cartoon on DVD as well so I will need to pick that up sometime. I'm sure that most of us, who grew up in the late 80's and early 90's, would remember watching these shows and would appreciate them just for pure nostalgia.
Well, those were my retro tv shows that I wanted to talk about. Have a show that I didn't list here that goes along with Retro Revival Week? Show it off and say why you like it. I would like to hear from you guys who like any of these shows or any that I didn't list.
