Captain N: The Game Master is the late-1980s NBC Saturday morning cartoon that pulls a teenage gamer named Kevin Keene into Videoland, where he teams up with characters drawn from the Nintendo library to fight the villainous Mother Brain and her allies. The series aired on NBC and later on The Family Channel across 1989 through 1991, fully riding the era's NES boom.

The format is the appeal: each episode mines a fresh threat from a different game world (Castlevania, Metroid, Mega Man, Punch-Out, even Tetris) and runs Kevin, Princess Lana, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, Kid Icarus, and Game Boy through it. Episode titles like "Kevin In Videoland," "Mega Trouble For Megaland," "Metroid Sweet Metroid," "The Trouble With Tetris," and "Return To Castlevania" telegraph the commitment to its source pool. The animation is solid, the music is bright, and the show is the era's purest gaming-meets-Saturday-morning artifact.

For late-1980s and early-1990s NBC Saturday morning programming, this was the network's most aggressive swing at gaming-cartoon synergy, sitting at the center of the era's video-game cartoon lineage. Suited for fans of the original NES library, viewers who remember the era's particular brand of toy-and-game-aisle Saturday morning, and anyone who has ever debated whether Simon Belmont was actually like that.

Standouts worth revisiting include "Kevin In Videoland" (the opener), "Mega Trouble For Megaland" (an early Mega Man showcase), "Happy Birthday, Megaman" (a sweeter beat), "The Trouble With Tetris" (a famous swing), and "The Fractured Fantasy Of Captain N" (the closer). This 4-DVD collection brings 34 episodes from across the show's three-season run into one place.

Stars: Garry Chalk, Michael Donovan, Doc Harris
