![]() The set featured, among many things, a pool, racing track, turf field, obstacle course, and of course, the Aggro Crag - a 28ft artificial mountain flooded with glitter bombs, boulders, wrong truns, and death-defying cliffs that would equalize, pummel, and just flat-out decimate even the mightest of challengers, all while they would hit actuators along the way up. This indoor stadium filled with various layouts of extreme sports events featured three contestants per episode, all competing against each other to rack up the highest points possible across four events. ![]() Running from 1992 to 1995, the network aired "Nickelodeon GUTS" as an answer to kids everywhere who wanted to prove they were the best at any sport-related challenges. While sloppy obstacles and video game traversal may appeal to a good portion of kids, there was still a sub-demographic still desiring to be represented - the kind that loved extreme sports. This channel entertained audiences until 2014 with gaming competitions, interactive talk shows, and even a show revealing useful cheat codes, and has since experienced a brief reboot form on YouTube. The show's focus on video games would later influence the G4® television network, which launched 11 years later in 2002. While viewers were captivated by the illusion of people inside video games, backstage contestants used their actual bodies on blue-painted sets adorned with platforms, ropes, and ladders it was a special kind of production magic inspiring just about every video game-obsessed kid out there to test his might inside a video game one day! Inside lurked three digital levels pushing players to their limits before they had to face one of three Video Zone Bosses: Mongo (an armored strongman in green), Merlock (a long-bearded, purple-robed wizard), or Scortia (a hot-headed acrobat slinging fireballs), all of which had to be beaten in 60 seconds in order to claim their grand prize. ![]() Again, the inclusion of a bonus level was typical in a lot of Sega games released in the 80s and 90s.Once contestants passed two rounds of challenges by navigating Mikey (our video adventurer) across the virtual game board, the winning team of two kids could go on to battle the Video Game Wizard in The Video Zone. There was also a bonus level where Tracy had to shoot targets whilst avoiding civilians. The gameplay also mixes things up from the standard side-scrolling action, with sections where Tracy must shoot enemies who appear in the background, as well as a section where he is riding the side of a police car. Sega had perfected the formula for side-scrolling games with titles such as Shinobi, Altered Beast, and E-SWAT, and Dick Tracy follows this similar production line.Īlthough the game didn’t perform well in terms of sales, it did capture the comic book style of the movie with its graphics. There were different video game adaptations released, but the Sega Genesis was arguably the best version. Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, Madonna, Dick Van Dyke, Kathy Bates, and Dustin Hoffman are just a few of the names from the big-screen adaptation which became a huge blockbuster. When it comes to star-studded casts, there aren’t much better than Dick Tracy from 1990. ![]()
