Around 15 years ago or so, I remember there being a few videogame related tv shows. Gamepro had their own show where they did reviews, previews, and I think even had a mailbag. I vaguely remember a cartoon being a segment on the show too with a bunch of characters from Acclaim games (the knight from Wizards and Warriors, the Bigfoot monster truck(!), Tyrone from Arch Rivals, and some sort of tomatoe looking thing from a gameboy game I can't remember). Anybody have more info on that cartoon?
Then there was a sort of gameshow for kids, I think it was called Video Power. I rmember there being small teams (2-4 people) and you would have to buzz in and answer questions about games, identify what game a song was from, compete to get a high score, etc. The highlight was at the end, where the winner got to run through this huge obstacle course and grab all the games he could velcro to his body and reach the finish line. If he made it to the end before time ran out, he got to keep all the loot. I think they also hid a super prize in there, something like a Neo*Geo system I guess. I could have sworn I stumbled across a piece written by a contestant a few years ago detailing his experience on the show, but I can't for the life of me remember where I saw that.
These both would have been on in the late 80s/early 90s, but oddly enough I seem to recall GamePro TV airing in the mid-late 90s again.
Anybody come up with some other videogame shows?
