AtariDude Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I think I was one of the eight or nine people in the world who actually liked that show. -S I liked the show as well although I think part of the problem that occured with the show was the fact that DC sued saying that there were certain aspects of the character that were too much like Superman. I don't know if the lawsuit got anywhere but I do remember hearing about it. By the way, here is a link to a site with info on the show: http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/3657/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I've still got my T-shirt from the Greatest American Hero- Starmaster contest. I also won an authentic piece of "Skylab" the old space station mounted on a great poster from another Activision Starmaster contest. I may even still have the old entry forms around someplace. Todd is the only other person I know who has this shirt... but no piece of Skylab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klove Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hey, I've got one of those kooky T's. Cheaple made, that's for sure. We spared no expense in making those. Trick is... "Does anyone out there have the Tennis T-Shirt?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddRogers Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hello All Ken i have not had the chance to see if i have a Tennis T-Shirt but i do have a bunch of the Activision clothes from back in the early 80s. David i also have a piece of SkyLab like yourself from that contest it was a fun contest one of the better ones that were being promoteda that time. Thats all for now ill check back later. Todd Mr Activision Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott27 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 ahh skylab, remember when they didnt know where it would land and people were watching the news to see if a space toilet might come crashing thru their roof. kinda disapointing that the current space program is basically doing the same dang thing as skylab 25 or so years later. at least video games progressed.

Lauren Tyler Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Yeah they sure did. Even in Space Shuttle for the Atari 2600 you had full control over where you landed (if you were careful that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. kwack Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 Put me down as a fan for the show as well. Personally, I'm kinda disappointed/surprised Activision(or someone) was not brewing up a game for it. I remember the baseball and "Devil" episodes as well (Bill Maxwell was posessed). Anyone remember the ep where Ralph meets the "Green Guys" again and gets a second manual- only to shrink himself and lose it again? Ha! That's writing!! Beats the hell out of Reality TV!

AtariDude Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Well Ralph did pretty well given the fact that he did not have the manual. I wonder what other powers he might have had if he had not lost the manual. I would have to think that if he can shrink himself, that he could make himself supersized (with an extra order of fries to go please ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariDude Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 If they had actually made the game, what do you think would have been the game mechanic. Would Ralph be uncontrollable in the flying sequences? Would you have to use invisibility to get past obstacles at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out_of_Gas Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Lee, that is a sweet cart pic!!! What game do you think could be hacked into this? Superman, may be the closest, but perhaps there is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I was thinking the same thing that components of Superman could have used for the game although given the fact that he was had trouble with his flying (he tended to wobble a little bit) along with his other powers, a mere hack would not be enough. It would have to incorporate some of his other powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateers69 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Since he couldnt control his flying and he was always falling down. How about the game ET? You coundnt always control him and he was always falling down too. (might be even closer then the Superman game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out_of_Gas Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I made a little hack outta superman, but the flying looks like hes running instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Necro-bump. I wonder what kind of 2024 homebrew video game could be made that matched the show. Hmmm. Signed, viewer 10 of 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I loved that show! I have no idea about gameplay a Greatest American Hero homebrew should have, but the box should say "manual enclosed", but not actually be included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
