tryin' to remember the name of this 80's game system

It was a weird one advertised sometime between 85 and 87. You had a light gun that was shaped like a space ship and you'd shoot ships on the TV screen with it. My confused memory seems to recall that they'd broadcast a TV show and you'd shoot at stuff on the screen. This may have been a regional (east coast) test market thing.

Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about here?

My friend had this. We're in California, so it is not only an east coast thing. I cannot remember the name either. Thanks, now I'll be thinking about this for days...

Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future! I had the good guy's ship/light gun and the guy that flew, Major Matthew "Hawk" Masterson.

God bless Google.

Ah, a flight down memory lane:

Hah! I remember Captain Power!! I had the good guy gun as well. I also had a few of the action figures. Captain power and his recharge station, and I think the flying evil metal guy. Oh the good old days...

On a side note about a year or two ago at around 3am I caught one of these old episodes on the Space network. Was that ever some horrid acting. Good thing I was too young to notice when it was new...

I never had any toys or videogames based on Captain Power, but I remember having just about all their tapes. My mom used to work for this videotape company called "MEDIA", which did tapes for Nightmare on Elm St, stuff like that. I think Captain Power was one of 'em. We got copies of all the movies my mom helped edit.

Ah what a great trip it was. I had no idea that J. Michael (Babylon 5) Straczynski was involved with it.

Does this have anything to do with a cartoon with a kid in a lettermans jacket with a zapper gun, megaman, and a giant talking gameboy?

Edit: Oh, snap! Wrong show I'm thinking of. I think I remember Captain Power now... was it live action?

you're thinking of Captain N: The Game Master.

That show was by far more badass then Captain Power, as far as I can remember at least. :P

Hah! Loved Captain Power (the guy who played Tank - in the camo battle suit - played LaFours in Kevin Smith's Mallrats), loved Captain N, but none of these shows held a candle to Kidd Video!
