Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The "pulses" used to add or delete points from the interactive toys were created by blending various frequency black to white pulsing into backgrounds, clouds, flames, explosions and general mayhem. It was always fun to blend in point gain pulses JUST until something distracting was about to begin, then switch to point loss pulses to suck points back out of the toys. This was all done in the online suite as one of the final layers of the VFX compositing process. more

This show was awesome in its day, 13 March 2002
Author: cosmos80 from United States

This has to have been one of the best cartoons to remember in the 80's not just because it contained adventure, but for the interactivity that it featured.

The series showed a very harsh looking earth where pretty much every traces of civilization is gone, with the exception of Lord Dread, who wants to rule whats left. But Captain power, is the only thing that can stop him.

It was a pioneer in those days with its computer generated graphics and best of all, of course, the TV Interactive use. Any kid with a Captain power airplane could actually use it to help Captain power fight evil doers on the screen as if it was actually happen.

Captain Power was a first step in using the TV Interactive use with its merchandise, it's still as exciting today as it was in 1987, I wish they bring back this form of TVIneractive.
