That actually looks really good. Did it run its course or was it cancelled too few episodes in?

I saw a mention of WCA (with a cartoon "roster" of pilots) on a WC fansite but I thought it was just something about the WC Academy game which I had played and known about, although I didn't remember it having any cartoon graphics.

I'm not afraid to say I enjoyed Saturday Supercade and AoSTH in the day. Captain N was ok too until I realized how absurd the character designs were. Come at me bro!

That would be mine. I used to pick up Mario and Zelda comics too. I have found memories of Lou Albano hosting that show with the Mario and Zelda cartoons.

I can't think of many other video game cartoon I've enjoyed, but I did like this live action Mortal Kombat series

Sonic the Hedgehog is definitely my favorite.
I love the "good" Sonic cartoon enough to casually refer to it as SatAM. The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (the goofy one) is kind of fun too, but in a very different way. The Sonic anime OVA (aka "Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie") is fun too.

Earthworm Jim was great too. I would buy it on DVD in a heartbeat.

As much as I like the Sam & Max cartoon, I don't think of it as a video game-based cartoon. Sam & Max started out as comics back in the 80s. It's definitely a great series though!

That's all I can really think of as shows I would definitely list as favorites. I loved Mega Man when I was a kid, but I'm not sure if it would hold up to my embittered grown-up self. I should track that down on DVD.

Oh yeah! I used to get up early to watch that Mega Man cartoon. I enjoyed watching it on weekends. Unfortunately, in retrospect I'm pretty sure that it sucked.

It's not very long but it runs a full season and the final episode ends things in a satisfactory way.

I started watching the whole series of Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM and am enjoying it so far. I saw a few episodes of the show on VHS when I was small. Those tapes got a lot of play so I'm looking forward to seeing the other episodes.

From what I remember of Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie it was pretty good. It had good animation, good voice acting, and had Metal Sonic. :D I saw a few episodes of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog on TV, but I don't remember shit about it. I've heard that it's pretty insane so I think I might like it. Sonic X, pleh!

When Fox Kids became the FoxBox, I watched the whole lineup and that's when I saw Kirby: Right Back At Ya! I have some pretty good memories of this show. I might pick it up on DVD. As an added note: it's weird to see Meta Knight helping Kirby.

I saw Sam & Max on Fox Kids and loved it. For years I had no idea there were games and comics to go along with this show.
