But if you're in on it, you can make it." - Vincent Price

So that's the name of the show I used to watch, years ago. I just about completely forgot about it! Thanks for posting this.

Never seen Reboot? Really? Well.. Its kinda like TRON in the sense that its about living inside a computer. But they actually live inside a mainframe. Then you have a character who is a virus, and a.. Hex was a virus too wasn't she? Yeah, the more powerful one..
Uhm.. either way its a good show and you should youtube some clips when you can.

And the show was actually quiet clever and holds up better than many from the era.
It followed a guardian of the city inside the mainframe named (plainly enough) "Bob" and his friends.
The moral of the show (at least initially, got more complex in season 3 and 4) was that you are a dirty, evil asshole for playing video games.
A cube would descend when "the user" started playing games, and Bob would have to go in and be the game's antagonist. If "the user" won a large part of the city was destroyed.
This gave the opportunity for a nice range of parody and satire within the game worlds. My and many others favorite episode is the Evil Dead parody you wouldn't believe how popular jpegs of this were on Evil Dead fan-sites back in the dial-up days. When we clamored for an actual Evil Dead video game ...ahh nostalgia.
*We eventually got 3 ED games, not counting the old C64 one that had come before. Out of the three the first one sucked but the others were pretty decent.

Ah man, I LOVED this show when I was a kid! Outside of a few of the main characters, some plot points and the games, I don't remember to much... I would love to pick the show up at some point down the road.
Hey, did anyone play the video game?
... you know, http://www.youtube.c...feature=related
... I just remember having a hard time with it.

Reboot, what? *clicks link* OH, GOD! I REMEMBER THIS SHOW!!! It's been forever, but... I should watch that over again. I forgot most of it.
I believe in what I want to believe in, you believe in what you want to believe in, so when someone wants to believe in something, no one will know what to believe!

Yeah, I'll be buying those. 
Unfortunately I forgot to enter the fanart contest they had for the DVD packaging. Sounds like Shout is going to put some good extras in there too, like they did with SatAM. I wish other companies were that caring about their cartoon DVD sets *cough*Disney*cough*....
Yes, Hex was a virus as well and my favorite character... Hell she even dressed like a dominatrix in the third season *giggle*
