Has anyone else written into them to tell them it wasn’t called Saturady Starcade, but Saturday Supercade?
THEME SONG:
Hey, it’s Saturday Supercade, come around,
we got your video friends together
Perhaps the writer was also fondly remembering Starcade.
I remember Saturday Supercade most vividly for an episode of the Donkey Kong cartoon in which Mario, chasing Kong, somehow gets a giant kettle dropped on his head. The resulting 15-odd seconds of staggering was, to my young mind, the funniest cartoon physical comedy I’d seen.
On this page, they mentioned the Space Ace cartoon series, but not the Dragon’s Lair show. In keeping with the interactive-cartoon nature of the arcade game, each act would conclude with the narrator offering Dirk a choice of paths and asking the viewer “what would YOU do?” After the commercial break, they would then show Dirk taking the wrong path and buying the farm, and then — NARRATOR: “but if you chose the mountain pass…” — the story would continue.
Does anyone else remember this stuff, or did I grow up in an alternate Mobius where Robotnik won and took things over?
