I watched this religiously because it showed games I had never seen and hoped to play. The Dragon's Lair special (Episode 38) blew my mind.

It's also really weird to see adults compete against 10-year-olds. The girl in episode 1 totally smokes the adult.

Dude was in a no win situation. Reminds me of the "jackets and jeans" sketch on SNL.

Me too. And I never forgot the Dragon's Lair episode. It was so cool seeing it again.
