I don't really know where to put this thread. It was really a toss up between general gaming and the lounge, and I figured I'd get a better response among gamers.
Does anyone remember the old Nintendo Cartoons? Those were something, I tell ya. I recently went back and saw a Captain N episode where Kevin and the team went to a place called "Dragon's Den" in the world of Dragon Warrior. Now I recall no such place as "Dragon's Den" in Dragon Warrior (DragonLord's castle is actually called Charlock) but it was still pretty cool.
They had DragonLord. He was a big fat red dragon. Kevin had to fight the Axe Knight from Hauksness (remember him? The big black knight in the poisoned town?) and got the weapons he needed to defeat DragonLord. They were of course, the Flame Sword and the Silver Shield.
The episode ended with Simon throwing an evil charm on DragonLord and having him get chased out of his kingdom by his pet dragon. It brought back so many memories.
Now there were some other shows too. The Super Mario Brothers Super Show and the Zelda Cartoon. I liked them too, but I enjoyed Captain N more.
Of these old cartoons, which was your favorite? What were your favorite episodes?

They just don't make shows like they used to. There ain't nothing on nowadays that can come close to to those old NES shows. Sure, they were cheesy, but they were damn fun to watch.
