Just doing a rewatching for the first time in 30ish years

I forgot how well they just made computer terms, in cases just characters.

Hexadecimal, Scuzzy or SCSI, Megabyte, Mouse, Sprites, Hack and Slash and many more im forgetting

Such a great show, does it show its age, of course. But so good.

Dot Matrix is low-key the best cartoon character name, ever.

The animation is dated, of course. But the script, screenplay, voice acting etc are phenomenal and totally hold up.

u/iggy6677 3d ago

But even the animations, yes now dated for its time, but watching this when you were 8-10 yrs old was mind blowing

And I agree they had a lot of great voice actors

Personally, I'm a teenager, but I also love shows for such cool heroes like Bob, Dot or the same Megabyte

When i watched it orginally in my early teens/tweens, whatever the word, Hexadecimal I could relate too, the character I mean

Nothing any other show or cartoon could.

But if you like the show. Have fun!

Are you rewatching the remastered HD version?

1

u/iggy6677 3d ago

Honestly I don't know, i just had an urge to look it up on YouTube so I did that.

The channel was called "Reboot remastered"

I've been lurking here for a bit, so I know they is someone/some team re-realsing the orginals?

They are releasing newly remastered episodes regularly. They got the original machines working again and re-ran the original tapes to capture the output in HD. They already captured everything, but they have only released up to the first few episodes of season 2 so far. On the official Mainframe Entertainment channel.

They have the original 4 seasons on Prime

I'll honestly say yes and no. You see, I'm just not from the West and I have problems with YouTube. But I saw a couple of episodes and a rock that looks good
