What was your favorite cartoon in the 80's? I would have to say mine was either G.I. Joe or M.A.S.K. Check out this for some of the forgotten favorites.
Edit: Talk about forgotten favorites, I had completely forgotten about Heathcliff and Marmaduke.

Oh man...
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
Starcom(the cartoon partially funded by NASA!)
This is probably cheating, but Prince Valiant.
Dungeons and Dragons. Duh. Dragon's Graveyard episode! Booyah! Treasure of Tardos was real good too.
City on the edge of midnight.
An arabian adventure with a Sean Connery lookalike as the Sinbad style character.

Don't forget his sonic disintegration Falchion! Just like Bahamut's breath weapon! SQUEE!
Pirates of Dark Water
I still think this would make a b*@##in' D&D setting. :)
Does The New Adventures of Flash Gordon count? (or does it miss the cut off?)

Pirates of Dark WaterI still think this would make a b!@%%in' D&D setting. :)
I vaguely recall someone did an RPG based on the setting.
I think it was put out in PDF format by some fans - if you google it, you might be able to find it.
But the show only ran for 21 episodes. It was awesome though.
Transformers, G.I.Joe, Thundercats, He-Man--so many to pick from, how can you choose just one?
Thundarr!
Robotech, the first serie
Visionaries, Mask, Action Force, Transformers, Gobots, Centurions....

That looks like a really cool cartoon! Never seen it before

How can no one mention The REAL Ghostbusters???
That is my number one pick, although I have to give some love to the usual crew of Transformers, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, He-Man, PoDW, etc. Did anyone watch Galtar?
And I must admit, I bought my wife the series DVDs for Gummi Bears and DuckTales and I forgot how much I enjoyed them.
Tranzor Z
Other favorites:
Voltron (the space series, not the lions)
Robotech
Thundercats
Go-bots
Transformers
GI Joe
Battle of the Planets(G Force)
Dungeons and Dragons
I watched way too much TV as a kid.
Edit - Also Heathcliff, the Real Ghostbusters, Darkwing Duck(was that still the 80's?) and He-man. I'm sure I'm forgetting some here.

gotta make sure Bionic Six gets a mention here. I wish I could get a single episode of this show somewhere. Whenever I've asked for someone to post it to a newsgroup, no one ever did. :(
I plan on buying me some Inspector Gadget now that it's on DVD. And from the director of Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone, Galaxy High. Already own it on DVD.
Fraggle Rock! not "technically" a cartoon, but DAMN GOOD. Just need the last set of DVDs.
Bravestarr, Jem, Captain Planet.

Thought this was an inventive cartoon, too bad it sank so quick. :(

Jumping around everyone's links has led to some startling discoveries.
Almost as surprising to see people crucified upside-down in a cartoon intro.
Speaking of startling discoveries made by surfing!
Went to go nostalgicize on The Real Ghostbusters link from Lazaro, a show which I LOVED back in the day. Discovered that many of the episodes were written by none other than J. Michael Straczynski, of Babylon 5 fame. I then looked at his wiki bio, and saw that he and Brad Pitt are putting together a World War Z screen adaption.
Über-nerd-mega-zombie-fan squee!
He-Man. Weird, right?
He-Man. Weird, right?
Nah. I dressed up as Battle Cat when I was four or five (my brother was He-Man) for Halloween. :)
Wes -
You were in good company. I loved He-Man as a kid.
The recent remake wasn't bad either.

This is easy, Robotech. Had a damn good storyline, cool animation, wasn't afraid to kill characters (not a slaughter house mind you but not afraid to take out fan favs like Ben Dixion). Its blesssing and curse was the fact that it couldn't go on. Blessing because the story had a real ending (although it has gone on in 3 differnt ways MaCkinny, Shadow Cronicoles and the older RPG, not to mention Third Invid War which I use when I game it) but a curse because as such we got very little new stuff.
As much as I hated some of the Transformers incarnations, I did like where the show went after the movie (cartoon one).
In any case go Robotech!
I forgot to mention Thundarr. I still hope for a Thundarr RPG someday.Well, there's always this option for a little Thundarr RP fun.
Thank you for this, the world information alone is so cool.
