Now that stuff I "get". Super cool. But the later video game looking stuff is like WTF for me. OTOH, if someone were to reboot the story for a modern take, it would be frikken awesome.
BTW, someone needs to do a reboot of Frank Miller's "Daredevil" comics. Not the weird version that we got from Netflix, or the super aweful 2003 movie. I mean the 1980s comic series brought to live action with the super slick visuals that the comics created.

Loved that cartoon as a kid, even had some of the comics. Same with Speed Racer, Voltron, Tranzor Z, and Robotech.
I still have a G-Force hook-ups skate deck, and some vintage Hook-Ups T shirts I bought back in the day--very surprised to see they are going for anywhere from 750-1,000.00
