This is the beginning of the long-forgotten cartoon show "Saturday Supercade." Broadcast for about 2 years starting in 1983, this show adapted popular video games of the day to the Saturday morning cartoon format, including Frogger, Donkey Kong, Pitfall, Q-Bert, and Donkey Kong Jr. This is a real time capsule for kids of a certain age- I remember this clearly, and how every 80s toy had a cartoon too (Don't forgt Rubik the Magic Cube!!). "Saturday Supercade" is not and probably never will be available on DVD or even VHS, and the fact that it was broadcast about 3 or 4 years before VCRs were commomplace means we will see very little of this show in any format... it occupies a strange place between nostalgic retro-mania and the common ability to capture mass media and resurrect it years later. Who knows if we'll ever see this show again!
