Double Dare vs Funhouse vs Legends of the Hidden Temple
- Thread starter refusi0n1
- Start date
Final challenge for Hidden Temple was so impossible. You also had the temple guard dudes that could just randomly jump out and eliminate you at any time. Although it made it seem more awesome when a team actually pulled it off.

Even though Hidden Temple was a better show as a viewer, my favorite of the 3 was Double Dare. I even entered the contest where you submit your challenge ideas but I cannot remember what mine was. I am glad Wild & Crazy Kids and especially Guts were mentioned as those were real good, even better than the poll options.
Legends of the Hidden Temple, the greatest children's game show about video games ever created
Legends of the Hidden Temple, because I always wondered how in the hell they would make it out of there. Always got caught up on the silver monkey pieces. Plus the RNG when a guard would grab your partner, trippy.
Holy shit I wish this was still around when I was watching Nick
Loved this show. Even had the board game

Oh, this is the best version.
Didn't they admit that the Temple in Legends of the Hidden Temple was designed to make kids lose? It wasn't impossible, but the odds were stacked real high against the contestants?
No idea why Nick doesn't have a service for the old GAS channel. Would sub to it and watch Guts, WaCK, and Legends.
OT: Legends is the winner hands down.
Holy shit! That is awesome! That would work today I think.
Holy shit! That is so bad! I forgot all about that POS.
There is a channel on Pluto that is similar to/shows the same stuff that was on GAS (Nick games Ch 716) but I've never seen any WaCK on there.
Guts doesnt count because its "jock shit" LOLOLOL
Sure thing guy!
Guts was awesome but the one I always wanted to do was Wild and crazy kids. That one always seemed like a bunch of fun events, like a field day. I guess that was "jock shit" too though lolll

LotHT has a good start and end, but everything inbetween is kinda meh. DD's physical challenges and final course were always amusing.

But they did have a different vibe for me at least. I was probably a sucker for gimmicks and the aggro crag wasn't enough
I don't really know about Funhouse, but between Double Dare and Legends, it's pretty close for me. Loved both of these shows as a kid, Legends of the Hidden Temple especially. My favorite edition of Double Dare was definitely Super Sloppy Double Dare, felt like the best mix of 'raw' and 'produced' show production.
Also loved Wild & Crazy Kids when I was a kid too, but I don't think it holds up quite as well watching as an adult, where I think those other two do. Guts also holds up really well and I enjoyed it a lot as a kid too, but it always fell a bit lower in my rankings of these game shows. And with Guts, I definitely think it improved more over time as it found its footing, similar to Double Dare.

It would be impossible, but I'd pay a lot of money for a streaming service that showed entire blocks of 90's shows, in the best quality possible,, with commercials and all.
this already exists in unofficial ways. the big one from a while back was nick reboot.
i think it kept changing into different things. i'm sure there's some kind of current incarnation out there if you look for it enough.
but yeah it included commercials and everything.
It's Base, Arms, Head to place. You got it wrong as well! (/s)
I love watching the failures still.
Much of the original team were involved with making an episode for the Youtube Geek Week a few years ago. It was... okay, but you can tell where the seams are from it being just a one-off and constrained by budget.
Edit: Actually, I probably ought to share perhaps everyone's most memorable 'action sequence' of the show, the Corridor Of Blades.

Legends of the Hidden Temple was the only one of those I watched regularly, along with Guts and Nick Arcade, both of which I'm surprised aren't on this poll.
LotHT was fun, but it pissed me off how rigged it was with the temple guards, because there was no way to actually get by them without a token.
