Just suddenly came across this on the internet, what a classic!
'Clean your teeth'
'I said NO!'
'Eat your greens'
'Don't do that'
Ahh the days of being a child, what classic cartoons we had to watch!
The Trap Door
Danger Mouse
SuperTed
Thunder Cats
Look what they got now though, bloody Teletubbies and Tweenies...
You know they are all going to grow up to be complete idiots after spending their young lives watching a bunch of colourful muppets dancing around...

To be honest its all a bit fuzzy for me pre 92 too, but I do remember playing that popeye game. My paremts wouldn't let me have a console until I could afford one myself, so I had to put up with there C64 until age 14 (when I bought a cheap SNES).
I also had (TV/Character conversions)
Postman Pat
Punch and Judy
Ghostbusters
Bart vs the Space Mutants
Although I hated the conversion of Knightmare (now that was a quality program) - It was an RPG type thing, but I couldn't get past the first room.
I also loved the Dizzy games - remember any of those?

Yeah, I think it was a Speccy game originally... From what I remeber (anything from before 93 is a blur to me) it was written by this guy who was pseudo-famous for the grahpic style (big chunky graphics)... I think he started with a Pop-Eye game, and followed up TrapDoor with something about being a butler in Buckingham palace??? something like that anyway???
He did write a sequal to Trap Door, in which Bonie gets kidnapped by some creature, and Berk and Drutt (controlling both characters and changing as needed) venture down the Trap Door to save him???

Trap Door was great. I was almost late for school every day because I wanted to watch it.
I kind of remember what those programmes are CDouch, but I can't remember what they are called.

The blue guy was called Berk...
The skull was called Bonie...
And Spider was called Drutt..
Berk worked for 'the thing upstairs'
(He had another friend called Rog, though he was more or a guest appearence character)
As a side note... the Speccy game of Trap Door rocked!
