Since it falls on a Throwback Thursday, this is POWERFUL to the eye!
I grew up watching the original
Filmation and
Mattel's "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" cartoon series, and while it certainly has its chops and hooky animated moments, it is regarded as one of the classics that defined a generation of toys and viewers who remember a universe with magic and myth where the battle between good and evil was waged on a planet called
Eternia.
Now, some indie game developers have made what is certainly a SURPRISING marriage of that classic series with a side-scroller game system akin to
Final Fight and
Golden Axe.
Kotaku has posted this amazing article which showcases this amazing He-Man game, that features not only the
"Most Powerful Man in the Universe" as a playable character, but also the likes of
Man-At-Arms, Teela, Orko, She-Ra, and even guest star
Lion-O from the
Thundercats?!
If that last line didn't reel you in or convince you, maybe this
YouTube video demo will.
