Saturday Supercade long version 

Saturday mornings were so great in the 70's and 80's. I could hardly wait for Saturday morning.

Guess I'm watching 80's cartoons all day today. Damn nostalgia gets me every time.

Ah...memories...childhood memories. I was 10 years old when this was on TV. This is what got me into playing video games. To this day, I STILL love playing video games.

Being 9 years old at the time, this was like a drug watching Saturday Morning Cartoons. I'm 32 and I must say that in my opinion, Fall '83 and Fall '84 were the best years of Saturday Morning Cartoons.

Now I know where the "Tacoman" theme comes from! XD

I'm 29 yrs old and I vividly remember watching this on channel 10. I was probably like 4 yrs old. Thats such a long time ago and I miss it dearly. It will never be a time like the 80's!!!!!!!! (I'm crying!!!)

I was born in 79 so I got the 80s and the early 90s. They both rocked!

I remember this show. I was a real Saturday morning cartoon freak and this show was one of my favorites. I would wait anxiously for Saturday morning to come so I could enjoy this. It's been years since I saw it. Thanks for posting.

Wow this is incredible. Just watching this reminds me of when I was a kid. I would wake up every Saturday morning at 6AM and watch LA Kid, Kid Quiz game show and then Saturday Supercade. That was my Saturday morning routine!

Saturday Supercade ROCKED!!! I remember laughing while singing the Frogger song, partially because the very last line sounded like, "Iss Stan Too!" and for some reason it just cracked me up!!

I grew up as a teen in the 1980s and I certainly miss all of it; music, television and so forth. I would trade everything I current have for just a month back in the '80s. Lets jump in the hot tub time machine and travel back to the 1980s to relive it all.

I was 8 years old when this aired.. great times to be a kid growing up in the 80s :)

I watched this all the time back in the 80's

Seeing this again just makes me feel old, but I still loved it back in the day.

Throw back, I can't believe I enjoyed this!!! Thank you!!!

Thanks for posting this video. It really takes me back to my early preteen and teen years. Back when Saturday mornings were all about kids watching cartoons and having a good time; even if the cartoons were all based upon marketing ploys. I had many of those games for the Atari game system, and loved playing the arcade versions at my local 7-11 store as well. Good times.

I even remember they used to have a show on Friday that would showcase the new cartoons for the season and this one had me excited. It was kinda cool when all my childhood playthings had their own cartoons. They even had a Rubik's cube cartoon. Getting serious nostalgia right now.

No one could voice Donkey Kong as awesomely as the immortal Soupy Sales.

Thanks for this wonderful trip down memory lane. I'd do anything to have these cartoons on tape again.

Great memories! Love these shows!

what memories I remember watching this when it came out in the 80's.

Such an Underrated Cartoon OMG!!!!!!!!

The first animated Mario...

I loved this show. I wish they have this on DVD.

OMG no frggin' way!!!!!! I haven't seen this show in like 25 years!!! at least probably more.. But wait until you hear this incredible coincidence.. Back in 82 I was making an audio cassette tape of all my favorite shows at that time. I was like 11 years old then well I recorded this on that cassette tape which I still have. I mean this exact episode!! that is just too weird.. I was sitting here and by accident I clicked on this and found it.. Man You brought me back to a happy time for me

"No one else can do it better...And it feels sooo right...!"

I hear you brother!!!!! Me too!!!! That decade change my life!!!!!

I was so young when this was on, that I hardly remembered it. I'm so glad I found it! Man, the first incarnation of Mario is much different.

I was 11 when this show was on, and I can't remember this for anything. I always watched Saturday morning cartoons, but I don't remember this at all. I don't see how I missed it.

Wow, I'd totally forgotten about this show until I saw a reference to it on Wikipedia. Thanks for posting the intro sequences!

early 1980s. loved this as a child.

I've had a snippet of the Frogger intro in my head for the past 23 years or so and have always wanted to hear the real song again. Thank you so much for posting this video and giving me the opportunity! You're my hero!

"BREAKING NEWS!!!": 17 episodes of Q-bert is now on DVD November 3rd on Amazon!!!! And I swear it is not a bootleg.

I feel old looking back at this. Time goes by so fast.

Was nice to be able to watch some of our favorite video game characters in cartoons at that time.

I'm only 16 so I never watched any of these shows, but it sure made me wish I was my parents age so I can have these video game movies. O well, I'm happy with my 90s nostalgia.

I miss supercade...even though I was about 4 months when the show premiered.

I remember this! Boy, do I feel old....

Really old and i like it i love the 80s and 90s

Wow. What a flashback. Thanks

Thank you. I argued with a guy for a while that Mario was in a cartoon long before Super Mario Brothers. He didn't believe me when I told him about Saturday Supercade, or about Pryor's Place Richard Pryor doing children's television with Marla Gibbs.

*Sigh* The good ol days! I remember watching Saturday Morning cartoons, as far as 1996. I never got to watch the video game shows from the early 80s (Saturday Supercade) to 90s (Mario, Link, Captain N). I wish I grew up in the 80's.

Aww, the first video game cartoon. I wished I was able to watch it (wasn't born yet.)

Every few weeks, I torture myself by watching all of these old videos from my childhood on youtube. Now, I'm depressed. I'm only 35 but I feel like an old man, now!

i loved this show i wish they put it back on the air

i loved this show when it was on. when saturday mornings had a magical feel to them. i think a robotron cartoon would have been awesome.

Let's create a petition to have Saturday Supercade on DVD!

Remember this too. Q-Bert, Donkey Kong, Kangaroo. Another lost classic Saturday morning show.

You wouldn't be thinking that way if you grew up in the '80s watching these Saturday mornings and when cartoons were 'real' cartoons.

That takes me back.

OMG... I totally forgot about this one. My brain broke when I heard it!

I remember this back when I was A kid..

This was just awesome! Can't imagine anything this cool being done today...it would have to be a show with shorts about like Yuna from Final Fantasy, the Grand Theft Auto guy, and maybe Master Chief from Halo getting barrels thrown at him by huge aliens...tee hee

Saturday Mornings before cutting that grass, I watched cartoons. I just pray that we don't become too serious and at the same time not let our children be children. Oh well, thank GOD for DVD's LOL

I used to eat my Donkey Kong Jr. cereal while watching this, the good old days, Tear!

Sometimes Cartoon Network would air a few classics, but I also had Boomerang for about a year.

Wow, awesome, thanks so much for sharing these intros!

Haha I remember this mostly becuz the intro song is so awesome. Most of the cartoons on the show were kinda throw away. But I didn't think so back then.

The narrator for Saturday Supercade was Peter Cullen (voice of Optimus Prime), the voice of Donkey Kong Jr. was Frank Welker (Megatron) :)

2:08 DOOOONKEY KONG! This is funny!

You're not the only one sister. "Power to the 80"s!"

This cartoon lasted only one season and for good reason...the video game industry was reeling from the video game crash of 1983 a year before and that affected all video game sectors. Also ratings for this show weren't as huge as other shows on saturday mornings since ABC was king with Super friends bugs bunny and others. Also NBC had the smurfs going strong. No wonder why this show lives on in youtube.

very good cartoons/games, I even love the ruby spears logo

Man, I wish they still made a bunch of cartoons based on video games like this...

This is when Cartoons kicked ass i remember watching this every Saturday the whole line up rocked Its kinds cool to see the first animated Mario Befor he was all famous would be kinda cool to see this Mario animated into all the games and to see them bring back his niece Pauline in the games wait a min if Pauline's Mario niece would that mean that shes Luigi's Daughter!?!?

my fav show

I still think the intro theme to this show is one of the coolest ever. :)

Man! I haven't seen this cartoon since the 4th grade!

Mario looks like one of those silly cartoonish pizza chefs

You're right. I was way too harsh. And-I really do want people to keep putting stuff like this on RU-vid. Television history( all of it ) should be preserved so we can view it. Yes,all of it. I love seeing stuff from way back. And yes, I watched Q-BERT and DK Jr. every Sat. morning-and liked it.

god I wish I had a time machine

You are awesome for posting this.

That is so totally Shuki Levy singing for sure. I love this.

I had completely forgotten about this show until I was looking up Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) to see all the different voices he did and he did the voice for Mario in this show so I had to check it out again.

3:27 I love that they included the level complete jingle from the original Donkey Kong Junior, even if it sounds like a royalty free knockoff.

i totaly remember this from when i was 5 ...

It's a miracle that Ruby Spears got the video game companies together to get the licenses for the characters for the series.

Happy childhood memories

Wow, just, WOW!

@JasonBassn I totally agree. Had to do the same with my son. Those memories will live on forever.

I feel bad for the kids coming up today because there are hardly no Saturday Morning cartoons nowadays. It has all been replaced with saturday news shows and infomercials. Not saying that TV should raise a child, but the innocence that these cartoons exuded are gone. Back then, all the basic networks had a saturday morning lineup until 12pm.

wow, i'll bet Saturday mornings back in the eighties were fun!! especially when there's arcade charactors involved!! as a kid from the nineties, i'm pretty jealous!!

I hate my generation, I wanna go in the 80's. REAL music, REAL MTV, REAL television Saturday cartoons (none of this bullshit we have nowadays), and REAL fun! R.I.P. -Sincerely, an 18 year old girl who knows better

I THINK IM GONNA GRAB ME A BOWL OF CEREAL AND WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN!!

Pitfall. Cartoons that aired after "Frogger," "Donkey Kong Jr.," and "Pitfall" are "Space Ace" and "Kangaroo."

I loved this show & would love for this to be out on DVD. I'm pretty sure the Mario in this (seen with Pauline at 0:19) was the first ever animated version of Mario.

@londongravy That was Space Ace, which aired in Supercade's second season. He was the heroic title character who got zapped by an experimental Infanto Ray, causing him to change into the wimpy Dexter at inopportune moments. His sidekick was Officer Kimberly, who was voiced by Nancy Carthwright, who of course is most famous for Bart Simpson.

I too didn't like a few back in the '80s however now appreciate them more than ever because of today's trash.

Pitfall sure is a nice game for my ps two by Activision. i never played it or never heard of it. Donkey Kong now have his own cartoon produced by Nelvana in 1995 in three-dimensional cgi animation. Only the special was released by Paramount Home Video on VHS. The name: Legend of the Crystal Coconut.

Oh the memories.

Good memories. ^^

This makes me want to go buy some sort of goofball cereal with marshmellows, or fruity pebbles.

Man I just so barly remember waching these when I was like 5 years old. I remember every satuday morning Id wach this on the little 13 inch TV we had in the living room and eat cereal. lol

Rest In Peace Soupy Sales (voice of Donkey Kong).

Those were the days!!

God I miss the 80s

I saw a couple of Space Ace episodes on Cartoon Network during the late '90s.

Awesome. Classic.

When Taco-man plays a video game, he'll play games you haven't seen forever...

Actually the reason that this never was available in vhs,dvd or blu ray is the rights......At least are more than 12 copyright different owners of the video games and right now the most of the owners are no longer exists...that a really shame...
