One of the most anticipated animated DVD releases of 2007, the four-disc set of Captain N The Game Master compiles the majority of the animated action-adventure series (which ran from 1989-1991) that was inspired by the popular Nintendo game system. The premise of the show concerns average California teen and Nintendo fan Kevin Keene and his faithful dog Lucky, who are both pulled into their game system to Videoland, an animated world populated by heroes and villains from various Nintendo games. There, Kevin must assist the N Team--a group formed by Princess Lana, Icarus (from "Kid Icarus"), Simon Belmont (from "Castlevania") and Mega Man (from the game of the same name)--in defeating Mother Brain (from "Metroid") and her henchmen from conquering Videoland. The 26 episodes contained here pit Kevin and the team against the dragons from "Dragon's Den" ("Three Men and a Dragon"), a troublesome Gameboy ("Gameboy), and countless other nefarious types, including Dr. Wily ("Mega Man"), King Hippo ("Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!"), and Donkey Kong himself, whose allegiances shift from episode to episode. Animation is as spotty as most late '80s-early '90s TV cartoons tend to be, but the nostalgia factor for viewers of a certain age who recall their Nintendo systems with fondness should help to overcome this minor setback.

The history of Captain N is a convoluted one, despite its brief network run; while earning respectable ratings, the show was partnered with an animated Super Mario Brothers cartoon (which aired as Captain N and The Adventures of Super Mario Brothers 3) before being edited down to a supporting role in its own series and finally giving up the ghost in 1991. Due to its varying lengths and formats, the episodes contained here are only from the first and second season (and for the latter, the Super Mario Brothers portions have been removed). Nothing from the truncated, seven-episode Season 3 is included, which may be a stumbling block for dedicated fans. Extras are somewhat limited as well; thumbnail bios for each of the main characters are spread across the four discs, but little is given about their creation and development in the series. Similarly, the "Exploring Videoland" interactive featurette is a simple gallery of images from the various locations within Videoland. More interesting to the hardcore devotee will be the original cartoon from Nintendo Power magazine that provided the inspiration for the series, which rounds out the supplemental features. -- Paul Gaita

Description

Finally--All 26 Complete Episodes Available On A Deluxe 4-DVD Box Set!

The Forces of Chaos, led by the sinister Mother Brain (Metroid), are threatening to conquer the otherwise peaceful universe of Videoland. In a final attempt to fulfill an ancient prophecy, the N-Team -- consisting of Princess Lana, Simon Belmont (Castlevania), Kid Icarus, and Mega Man -- recruits California teenager Kevin Keene to don the mantle of Captain N: The Game Master! But only as a team can they fend off their rivals successfully, keeping Videoland safe for another day.

Considered the quintessential animated series for gamers, Captain N: The Game Master used its flare for exciting storytelling and its overwhelming popularity to show off the hottest new games and accessories in Nintendo's arsenal.

Captain N: The Game Master features regular appearances by popular Nintendo villains King Hippo (Punch Out), Dr. Wily (Mega Man), and the Eggplant Wizard (Kid Icarus), while peppering in special guest appearances by icons like Link and Princess Zelda (The Legend Of Zelda) and the original Donkey Kong!

3 out of 5 stars Bad Menu, rushed product, decent quality.......2007-06-27

This is a nice low cost set for those wanting a decent quality Captain N collection.

The most annoying thing about this set is the DVD Menu.

First off, every time you watch the DVD (unless using resume memory) you are FORCED to watch the entire introduction sequence to the Captain N Cartoon (ridiculous!). Though it is edited, it is not short enough and there is NO way to skip it since it is part of the menu!

Secondly, all discs use the same obscure menu with non functioning buttons pointing to all discs. This is quite bizarre and poorly designed.

The video is decent quality, they use double layer discs and put 5-6 episodes on a disc. The video is encoded w/ VBR (Variable Bit Rate) which unfortunately adds a "pause" to still shots (in order to save space) but overall isn't a major issue.

The cartoon is just as corny as ever, very few games & characters represent their original Japanese content accurately, most (if not all) games and characters are beyond recognition until stated by the Cartoon.

The quality of this product is great, it's just like watching cartoons when you were a kid now on dvd without commercials. It's cool! Buy this product if you are or were a video game nut.

4 out of 5 stars Back to my childhood.......2007-05-09

It was very cheerfull to find out the Game Master series were brought on DVD. I am now 24 and I was around 9 or 10 I believe when I first saw these series. In a way it's a nice trip down memory lane.

The only downside unfortunately is the fact that there are no subtitles. I am Dutch and my English is pretty good, but because the sound quality on the DVD is lacking it is sometimes difficult to make out what's being said.

However it is not like it's a documentary on Discovery Channel, so it is good enough to just sit back and enjoy this fine series.

5 out of 5 stars Captain N Complete Series.......2007-04-12

Excellent quality. Loved it when I was young. Now my son can enjoy it. Non violent cartoons with alot of excitement. Really recommend this for parents who are concerned with the violence on tv.

Product Description

In May 1997, 8 years ago, Gary Kasparov, regarded as the greatest Chess Player the world has ever seen, played Deep Blue- a hulking one and a half ton IBM computer. As it played out in the media, this was a chess tournament and a scientific experiment that would question our dominance as the most intelligent entity on the planet. Capturing people s imaginations, the outcome of this Man vs. Machine battle was stunning. To win the match, the computer did what many thought impossible at the time- it appeared to think like a human . . .

    2 out of 5 stars A Missed Opportunity.......2007-03-12

    I went into this movie with high hopes. The subject of a grand chess master taking on a supercomputer is inherently fascinating, and could have been used as a jumping-off point to investigate a rich vein of interesting topics: what was the philosophical significance of this showdown between man and machine? What did it mean to the chess world, and to society at large? What defines a grand master-level chess player, and what goes through Kasparov's head as he contemplates his individual moves and overall strategies? How does this differ with the problem-solving programming that the computer is relying on? Just how do you program a computer to simulate the chess-playing style of a grand master? And how can a documentary movie creatively capture the essence of a complex chess match onscreen, making it real and involving for the average audience?

    Sadly, "Kasparov and the Machine" does not address a single one of these questions -- especially not the last one. It is a plodding documentary that mostly consists of a film crew following Kasparov around the rather drab location where the match took place years earlier, as he reflects on his poor treatment by IBM. It also features some uninformative interviews with the computer programmers, and a lot of footage from a black and white silent movie about a chess machine from the 1800's that is terribly overused. A poorly substantiated conspiracy theory is advanced that IBM was somehow not playing fairly, and what might have been a good 30-minute PBS special is stretched out into a very thin feature length film.

    This could have been a great, thought-provoking film exploring the ramifications of a man pitting his intellect against an artificial intelligence. It is tragic that the filmmakers missed such an opportunity to sweep us away with the complex consideration that this subject deserved.

    2 out of 5 stars Rage Against the Machine.......2007-02-28

    In the May 1997, Gary Kasparov, the reigning Chess World Champion and by the opinion of many, the greatest chess player ever played Deep Blue, an IMB Supercomputer. At its best scenes, the film is an entertaining look at the never ending competition of human intellect against artificial. The greatest player on Earth does not like and does not know how to lose, and his account of the match and its result is quite bitter. He can't believe that the computer program, the combination of 0s and 1s may appear to think like a human. It was sad and nostalgic for me to see Gary like that. I remember him back in 1985, 22 years old World Champion after his victorious match with Anatoly Karpov. In his (and former mine) country millions of people that knew nothing or next to nothing about ancient game of chess (All I know that the first move e2 - e4 will not bring me any problems, at least for a little while) passionately wished him to win. Gary was not just a brilliant chess genius, a wonder-boy - he was also a symbol of hope, of changes not only in the chess politics but in the life of the whole country that was ready for changes.

    2.5/5

    2 out of 5 stars A lot of flash, but no real substance. .......2006-12-10

    Being an admitted chess addict, I was excited to see a documentary about the 1997 rematch between Garry Kasparov and IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer. I was hoping to see an in depth look at the match and a lot of what Kasparov had to say. Boy was I wrong and misguided by a mile. This documentary is a lot like many modern documentaries - there is a lot of flash but no real substance. After watching it, I am sad to say, I felt like I wasted my time. One of the most annoying aspects about the documentary is that it does not stay at one place for a decent period of time. It has the typical MTV type editing, where the camera shows different images and quick sound bites from people every five seconds. It is very sad that filmmaking has been watered down to the attention span of a 10-year old child.

    I understand it is difficult to make a film about chess, but that does not mean one should make it flashy. 'Game Over' did have a couple of interesting ideas though. It brought up the idea whether computers can think like human beings or not; whether computers have advanced to a unique new level. This is what Kasparov thought after the match, but this film does not go deep enough with this idea. Also, this film tries to bring in a bizzare theory. It tries to imply the paranoid theory that a human being was making the moves along with the help of the computer. Kasparov had suspicions about this, but still to this day there is no evidence. Towards the end of the film, it tries to imply the bizzare idea that maybe Anatoly Karpov might have been the human being who was secretly making the moves with the aid of Deep Blue. Interesting to think about, but I don't know how plausable or realistic it is. I still would not recommend this movie though, not even for chess addicts.

    5 out of 5 stars Conspiracy theory.......2006-11-12

    Deep Blue Conspiracy Theory

    Whether the match of Kasparov versus Deep Blue was a fair match is a matter of debate. I came up with the following conspiracy theory just for fun, but which could be plausible and consistent with the evidence presented in the movie. IBM, as a corporation, wanted to win at whatever cost, since the company's reputation was at stake and potential for economic revenue would be great. (The movies Enron, The Smartest Guys in the Room; McLibel; Wal-Mart, The High Cost of Low Price; and The Corporation are eye opening films in this respect) IBM, as shown in the movie, created two Deep Blue computers. Kasparov suspected that both computers were present at the match, although there is no conclusive evidence of this. Imagine that one was a true computer and the one Kasparov easily beat in the first match. As a computer engineer myself, it is easy to imagine having a chess master inside the other Deep Blue with a terminal receiving strategic recommendations from the true Deep Blue computer. The human player inside the other Deep Blue would have a clear advantage from the sheer computing capacity of the other computer, consistent with Kasparov's suspicion. The true Deep Blue Computer would be the one in the Smithsonian museum, and the fake Deep Blue is the one in Poughkeepsie, NY, which they failed to open at the end of the movie. Notice that the man from IBM could easy fit inside Deep Blue. This man-computer double team strategy could have been employed starting with game number 2, where Kasparov surrendered. The idea of having somebody inside the Deep Blue computer is more romantic, but unnecessary for this conspiracy theory to work. It is interesting that the dimensions of deep blue could easily conceal a tall man standing. If you've ever played tic-tac-toe with a computer, you will soon learn that the best you can do is tie the game. A match with a player of Kasparov's stature playing against a pure computer opponent, would be expected to end in a draw or at least be more balanced in terms of how many games each wins.

    Karpov Conspiracy Theory

    If you have a large screen where you can watch the movie, notice that during the match between Kasparov and Karpov at the end of the movie, somebody was flashing a laser pointer on Kasparov's left side of the nose. This happens in one of the earlier close-ups of Kasparov's face after a close up of his feet. Was someone deliberately trying to distract Kasparov with a laser pointer?

    3 out of 5 stars WAS KASPAROV A PAWN IN IBM's GAME?.......2006-09-08


    Did GARRY KASPAROV, the world's greatest chess player, get rooked when he lost a six-game match to IBM's supercomputer, DEEP BLUE, in 1997? That's the question that this padded, but nonetheless interesting documentary asks you to consider.

    I wasn't even aware of GAME OVER: KASPAROV AND THE MACHINE until I stumbled over it while Amazon surfing last week. When I was unable to locate a VHS rental copy, I actually bought my first DVD player (NOT made in China, India, or Indonesia) just so I could view this.

    If you have little or no interest in chess (the world's greatest game!) then there is no chance you'll find watching the 85 minutes of GAME OVER well spent. On the other hand, if chess fascinates, or even interests you, you'll find the movie flawed but somewhat intriguing.

    I got into chess as a result of the high profile 1972, Fischer versus Spassky match. Later in 1972, I joined the chess club at my junior high school and won the club championship in a three-game match. (But interestingly, the player who most intimidated me was blind. He was a "Chess Game Wizard.") Back then, I wanted to be ranked a Master by the age of 16, but other interests began vying for my time and attention: art, girls, and sports and/or the art of watching girls in shorts play sports! I never became more than mediocre at best in chess, but I never lost all interest in it either. Nor in watching girls play beach volleyball. : )

    Of this movie's hour and a half running time, likely 50% of it is unnecessary filler. We get shots of Kasparov revisiting the locales less than 10 years later; the same footage over and over of an old chess-playing contraption; shots of New York City ad nauseam, etc. As Christopher Lloyd said repeatedly in the movie, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, "Cut the B.S.; play the game!" A little atmosphere is fine, but too much of it slows down an already slow contest.

    The crux of Kasparov's argument follows: After beating DEEP BLUE handily in Game One, in which the computer played a very mathematical, machine-like style, it made a "creative judgment" in Game Two which the man, Kasparov, was certain could only be made by a "man." Subsequently, he became so unnerved - convinced that a human mind was responsible for that move (i.e., he was playing against not just a machine, but also one or more unseen Grand Masters) - that he prematurely conceded Game Two, which possibly cost him a draw and ultimately the match.

    If chess was purely mathematical, I - the most mathematically-challenged person on the planet - would have never won a game. There are rich, creative and psychological elements to chess - it is NOT strictly mechanical, not just "black and white", despite the colors of the pieces. It is closer to music than it is to algebra. I have no math skills whatsoever, but I'm extremely analytical and I discern patterns in things. And I can be quite a fearsome psych warrior! As a novice playing against novices, I frequently swapped queens when the only advantage to me was psychological: beginners - and even some half decent players - mentally surrender once they've lost their queen. But I KNEW I could win without her, and it only made me bear down and concentrate more. I've always been at my best under pressure. But does a computer "got game" when it comes to those additional chess factors?

    When in Game Two, KASPAROV offered up a pawn (or two?) in order to gain a positional advantage in another sector of the board, and DEEP BLUE declined to take the piece, Kasparov became suspicious and lost his composure. It was as if a dog passed up ground beef because it "speculated" that there might be filet mignon three blocks away. Is a dog (or computer) capable of that kind of "thought"? Or will it immediately take the first gift offered? How can it sniff out a stratagem from a mistake? Well, Deep Blue saying, "Thanks, but no thanks" made Kasparov deeply blue. The rest is history.

    I really wish that the filmmaker had dispensed with 15 minutes of superfluous "atmosphere" shots and spent it really analyzing that key move in Game Two. (One of the DVD's Special Features replays all of the games with very basic commentary on each move, but no mention is made of the questionable moment in Game Two or of the importance it held.) What was Kasparov really attempting to accomplish by sacrificing a pawn or two? How obvious was the advantage in position that he would have gained? How much "creative thinking" did Deep Blue have to perform in order to "see through the ground beef"? How did the computer go from mechanical playing to "humanistic" playing overnight? Was IBM playing chess games with Kasparov, or playing mind games with him? You'll never know until you check, mate!

    5 out of 5 stars The "Death and the Maiden" of this year.......2005-08-14

    Since Polansky's "Death and the Maiden" I had not felt like this. This psychological thriller goes far beyond the subject of the Holocaust, human power and abuse; Fantastic WAR movie. Unlike regular movies these days I didn't go away feeling empty and void of any possible thoughts. It kept me fixed to the screen throughout the entire screening until the end: agressive, suggestive, unexpected, witt, surprising... BRAVO to the scriptwriter, the director and the actors!

    Sinewy, sleek, and oozing charisma, Bruce Lee brought sex appeal to the martial arts genre, dominating even the most cliché-riddled adventures with his mix of good-humored geniality and focused intensity. His first film, the low-budget Hong Kong adventure Fists of Fury (as it was titled in the U.S.), is exactly that: a raw, rough-edged revenge drama of a country boy who uncovers a heroin-smuggling ring. Yet the film comes alive when Lee pounces into action, his wiry, well-muscled frame erupting in lightning moves. His follow-up, The Chinese Connection, keeps the revenge theme going for a tale of a kung fu student who avenges his teacher's death at the hands of a Japanese rival. The international success of both films enabled the increasingly ambitious Lee to write and direct his own feature, Return of the Dragon, a more-comic tale of a Chinese country boy who travels to Rome to help out cousins under the thumb of local mobsters. Though filled with excellent martial arts bouts, all choreographed by Lee, the highlight is a death match between Lee and karate champion Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum. Lee died before completing his last feature, Game of Death, and a rather unconvincing double runs around much of the film between footage of the real Lee, but the climax features an impressive bout with basketball star and Lee student Kareem Abdul-Jabar. Though a cut above most martial arts movies of the period, these are no masterpieces, but then who watches a Bruce Lee film for the story? In these films, plot is simply there for the scenes between Lee's amazing fight sequences. The documentary Bruce Lee: The Legend completes the collection. --Sean Axmaker

    5 out of 5 stars THE MASTER COLLECTION OF BRUCE LEE.......2006-05-16

    i bought this set at a used dvd store for $15.00 and was very happy to find it. watching it i was struck by how much talent and energy this man had! had he lived he would have one of the most bankable stars in the world.to be sure these are low buget action movies, but mr. lee brought a style to them that no other actor could have brought, his every move was a graceful and well thought out move,even just walking down the street. these are all the films he made(except for enter the dragon which he made for warner bros.) and he shines in them all,(game of death the movie he was making when he died is very weak and only comes alive when they use the footage of him that was shot) and if you love lee or good kung-fu movies this is one to own

    5 out of 5 stars I GOT THIS AT BESTBUY FOR 19.99, GO CHECK IT OUT........2006-03-16

    This is easily one of the best investments to my collection, I mean 4/5 of bruce lee's movies, and a documentary.

    Now fisrt of all, all of these movies are the original dub and very watchable picture.

    Fist of fury(Big Boss)----- very fun movie with bruce beating up a lot of people. The end fight is prettygood because it was so authentic. Pai ying is the man, he is also the action coordinator on this.

    Chinese Connection(Fist Of Fury)------ One of the best movies of all time. Great fight scenes(check it out when he takes on the whole gym), great score, great acting, hell, even Lo wei is an actor in this movie, and he is pretty freaking good.

    Return of the dragon(enter the dragon) directed by bruce lee, action directed by bruce lee, and starrign bruce lee. Come on bruce, you could have put your name as composer too. This movie kicks ass, better than big boss, but not as good as chinese connection. Everyone knows this is the one where bruce fights chuck norris at the end. And it is everythign it is made out to be, certainly not the best though.

    Game of death---this is your classic case of fastforwarding kungfu cinema. The fight scenes are pretty good, but a VERY FORGETTABLE story.

    Documentary-------very good doc. that talks a lot about what bruce was planning for game of death(sounds sweet), and what other characters he wa experimenting with for hsi future movies. Can you believe he had a blind swordsman idea in mind for himself. There is a lot of other important info also. 5/5 for the documentary, good for any bruce fan.

    So I have seen this at cd tradepost for 14.99, and 19.99 at Best buy, so I don't know where the hell that $38 price comes from.

    5 out of 5 stars Great product.......2005-10-14

      2 out of 5 stars What a way to commemerate Bruce Lee!.......2006-02-13

      Don't get me wrong here, the plot is ok! But the cutting and pasting pictures of Bruce is ridiculous. The worst part was a scene where they pasted a photo of Bruce in the mirror. Come on guys you can do better than that!

      5 out of 5 stars 5 STARS FOR LAUGHS.......2005-07-18

      This so awful, so incredibly bad you have to get it for the laughs. There are posterized ripped off pieces of footage from BRUCE LEE in Return of the Dragon. BUT, HOLD ON FANS!! BRUCE LEE is not the star of this film, netiher is Bruce Li, or Bruce Le, or Bruce Lo. The star of the film bares a slight--very slight-resemblance, looking like Bruce Lee only when he's wearing the shades (which he does in almost every scene), or when his back is to the camera. IT'S NOT BRUCE LI! I MEAN....Who is the idiot reviewer on this page who said get "all of Bruce Li's films?"-I mean, what does that review have to do with this film? This crap is the perfect example of how NOT to make a Bruce Lee exploitation film. Wait, that doesn't make senese--this film is EXACTLY how a Bruce Lee exploitation film IS MADE: BAD dialog, bad script, bad dubbing, bad fight scenes. Keep an eye out for the Abdul Jabaar wanna be with basketball shorts, sneakers, and a cape! His classic line about "the red light" will have you in stitches for years! Also note the majority of the dialog is groans, grunts, and insipid utterances that have nothing to do with the plot. HILARIOUS!!!

      5 out of 5 stars GET EVERY BRUCE LI FILM!.......2004-04-01

      Get every Bruce Li film you can find. I think they're all great! The best ones are: Chinese Connection 2, Dynamo, Iron Dragon Strikes Back, The Chinese Stuntman, Deadly Strike, Bruce Lee The Man The Myth, Exit The Dragon Enter The Tiger, Bruce Lee's Deadly Kung Fu, Return Of The Tiger, Soul Brothers Of Kung Fu.

      1 out of 5 stars fullscreen madness.......2002-05-07

      not only is this film poor to watch but the fact it is in 4.3 ratio instead of a 16.9 or wide screen makes the fight scenes look unbareable to watch, you can see this film has a wide screen edition this is obvious when the fight senes are shown you mostly see half there bodies when you should see more.
      not good viewing.

      1 out of 5 stars Review forTrue game of death.......2001-01-12

      This movie is terrible. It does not star Bruce Lee and is not directed by Robert Clouse, as advertised by amazon. The only scenes with Bruce are some third rate snipets from Return of the dragon that have nothing to do with The true game of death movie. The best way to describe this movie is that they tried to remake The game of death In which Bruce Lee does actually appear for those few fight scenes that he is in. Acting was terrible! sound, Terrible! Fighting sequences, terrible! Over all this movie was terrible and I do not reccomend that anyone buy this or rent it for that matter.
