I...kinda liked Tekwar as a kid. I stumbled across it, oddly enough, right after watching an episode of MST3K back in something like 93 or 94. It was not a show, but a series of two hour movies for TV, just like a bunch of other shows including the prototype for the Kevin Sorbo Hercules. It was a weird experiment to make these serialized TV movies, I think it was called the Action Pak.
Anyway, this might have been my first exposure to Cyberpunk anything. As dumb as it seems now, I dug it at a stupid kid.

Aelric - 2014-09-29 They were two hour shows, not the typical hour long ones, and they were all branded as 'movies' in the ads. This is BEFORE Hercules was on every channel, which is what Syndication means (and still exists to some extent).

BHWW - 2014-09-29 I remember coming across a couple of those Tek movies back when - some of the writing was at Garth Marenghi levels of quality, like Greg Evigan's character being angrily berated by his former police superior, telling him that unlike our maverick hero "I play by the rules!" Que our hero snarling back something like "Then join a band!" before storming off in a huff.
Or some smug android police detective telling our hero that he's keeping an eye on him, looking for any reason to send him back to a cryogenic prison facility and put him "back between the frozen peas and carrots".

Feels like the kind of thing that would run Sunday afternoons on UPN.

I thought we all agreed never to speak of Tekwar ever again?

Well I think it looks kinda neat. William Shatner marches around in a pretty commanding way.

My first exposure to Tek War was when I found the Tek War computer game in the super deep discount bargain bin. The game was worth 2 dollars, just for the sheer stupidity factor.

Well, the children have to learn about Tek War sometime.

Oh man I forgot they'd made this into a show. I'll have to watch some of these after I finish the second half of Netforce.

also there was a video game based on the novels too. it was pretty shitty but it at least did one thing that no FPS I've seen before or since does: if you have your weapon unholstered in a public area, people freak out, and you're supposed to actually put your weapon away when you're not intending to kill anyone, GO FIGURE. I don't think even the GTA games do that.
