Okay I can't remember if the show was 80s or 90s, but here is all the info I can remember:
- Show was about a guy that wore black "robot" armor and fought crime.
- That guy's finisher/strongest weapon was a laser that flipped down over the visor of his helmet
- I think that guy rode a cool motorcycle that was similar to the armor (Not 100% on this one)
- He had kind of a sidekick, a black prof. guy that stayed at their hideout.
- At the hideout they had a talking computer that had the face of a white guy but his face was perma distorted.
- One of the villians of the show was these twin white chicks who were actually aliens, they had like short blonde or maybe white hair and always wore a tight black dress.
- In my head I want to say the show was called "The Inforcer" or something like that, but for the life of me I just can't remember.

No that can't be it, Street Hawk was mostly about the guy's bike. The show I 'm talking about was all about the guy's black robot suit.
M.A.N.T.I.S.?
I remember because the theme song was dope.

Ah good thread, i've wondered for years about the name of this show, it aired on the old fox kids from way back, it was like a horror type of show, kind of like tales from the crypts, all i remember about it is the opening where some guy with a black trench coat and a suitcase stood over a hill and then the wind blows and his suit case pops open and papers come flying out...
...yeah

Yeah...too bad it wasn't even remotely scary. Kids today need Monsters, and Tales From The Darkside...and the 1985 color Twilight Zone.

I don't think I need help to call bad the grammar of the thread title.:wink:
There was a show on the Family Channel in the 90's where contestants wore these laser suits and went into virtual worlds or something. There was also a rotating platform with a bunch of prizes. I don't remember the name.

That show would be Masters of the Maze. The only thing weird about that shit is that they traded J.D Roth for A.C. Slater.

I miss Nick Arcade. Phil singing whenever Mikey moved, the 4 P's: Points, puzzles, pop quizes, and prizes, some girl failing to get 50 rings in one minute in Sonic, and how no one ever beat Sorchia.

Legends of the Hidden Temple was dope too. Next to Double Dare, it was the hardest game show. Double Dare was impossible. Espically the obstacle course. 10 seconds to find a tiny flag in a giant pizza. And it was always the last obstacle.

Old Nick game shows were the best...anyone remember Finders Keepers? The first half of the game was kind of like "Where's Waldo" where kids would find stuff on these seek 'n finds, but the winners of the first half got to literally rampage through a fake house looking for clues for the last part of the show...they would overturn tables, ransack closets and cupboards, and basically make a complete and utter mess of every room they entered in.
Also anyone remember a show (not on Nick) where there was this alien girl who could freeze time and do other weird shit, her dad lived on another planet and she talked to him though this weird glowing glass cube, her mom was the mayor, she had a fat uncle...there were some other minor characters. Man, as a kid I loved that show (as sad as that is).

That was definitely Goosebumps. But that's is not why I'm posting. I'm posting to say that Are You Afraid of the Dark? was a far superior show.
