The original Dragon Ball show would probably make a good MMO as well. Plenty of interesting themes, and it ran during the 80s in Japan. Maybe even the old Legend of Zelda TV series would have made a nice MMO.

Nice! I'd so play a G.I. Joe or Transformers MMO. One I'd really like would be M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand) MMO.

The Themepark Method of making MMOs is structured entertainment, akin to a puzzle. I prefer a legos style where I can build what I want and something new everyday.


Asheron's Call. The one open world, classless progression, live team content oriented game that ALL game sites and developers show little respect for as a template to pattern future MMOs after.

I think Pirates of darkwater would make for a awesome mmorpg. still love the cartoon. However the whole topic is off the wall, but amusing. there could always be the smurfs vs the carebears or rainbowbright vs jam ect.

I still have my Copper toy.  My brother and I loved us some Silverhawks.

I just remembered another good one.  What about Dinoriders!!!

Giant lasers, rockets, and dinosaurs.  Who wouldn't want to ride a T-rex with rocket launchers?  Ahh, the good ole days.

Transformers would not necessarily need to have one specific planet for combat - it is a universal-wide battle.

Anyway I just prefer more the sci-fi types, fantasy is way too overused.

Shadow Raiders would make a great MMO in my opinion, but its not from the 80s.

All were good except the carebears one.

They forgot Thundercats!! Cant wait for the upcoming movie!

G.I. Joe or robotech would be the best franchises to turn into an mmo imo

I like all of the ideas as I am an 80s guy. Personally, the Transformers would be very fun to see. Of course the battle grounds would be Cybertron, Earth, and the many other planets depicted in the cartoon series. As for the unlimited amount of possible transformations that players could have, I wonder if we'd actually be able to see how our avatars transform  or would it be simply a blur (in which case I wouldn't want to see this game). The story practically writes itself.

Nice article, it is a good mainstream selection, but I think the 5 most interesting 80s cartoons that would make unique MMOs are:

1-SECTAURS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sciz05q9JdE

2-ZILLION

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7FMinLBEYU

3-SilverHawks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzAQu23t19A

4-ThunderCats

5-Tenshi no tamago (not an animated TV serie, an animated movie from the 80s but with a fantastic lore for a MMO)

Sylar I believe your clock is a little off...

5/05/09 5:31:22 PM#46

Hmmmm....... Ok lets EXAMINE your picks Mr. Wood.

5. Carebears?? My first reaction is WHAT??? but after I recomposed myself I thought hmm can anyone say HELLO kitty.

4. He-Man / She Ra This is a difficult one eveyone chassing after the main VILLIAN Skeletor. I just dont see to much creativity with this sorry.

3. Robotech One of my all time favorite ANIME of all time. I played the RP game published by Palladium Books. As a matter of fact it has a New source books The Macross Saga sourcebook was released in late October, 2008, and a sourcebook covering The Masters Saga was released in April 2009. So the RP game is not DEAD. Of course there are a FEW titles for the CONSOLE  world. LAST but not least lets not forget about the MOVIE schedule for 2012 yeah I will BELIVE it when I see it. anywho it is rumored to star Tobey Maguire as Rick Hunter. LMAO a ROY Fokker Maybe just because by the TIME or IF the movie comes out by then I would have to argue that TOBEY would not pass as a teen. Perhaps by then Harmony Gold USA might see fight to a MMORPG.

2. G.I. Joe Can anyone say CITY of Hero's, City of Villians.

1. Transformers Well YES I can see this as a MMO or a MMORPG it would be DIFFRENT toon creation would be UNISEX after all. It would be a GREAT pvp mmo I cant see it as a MMORPG.

So... what's next in this series: Top 5 Sandwiches that would make Good MMOS?

If I were going to be forced to play an MMO based on an 80's cartoon I'd hope it would be one of the Warner Brothers cartoons: either Batman or Calamity Jane...

My Batman game would be in reverse, though. Basically, you'd roll up a thug in Gotham City and attempt to pull of crimes until the Batman shut you down. You'd work your way from minion in silly clothes to full-on themed psycho-villain. This way Batman could return to being myserious and scary, seemingly everywhere, shutting down crimewaves all by himself.

I should send you a tape of the Carebear movie and make you watch it... see how fast you'd change this list.

Beat me to it - the first thing I thought of, and I was very disappointed it wasn't on the list.  Put it at #1 and drop the stupid bears off the bottom.
