An underrated Nickelodeon game show, which ran from 1993-1996. Players must complete challenges, based on the historical legend of the day.
Starting off, we have the following teams:
Red Jaguars
Purple Parrots
Blue Barracudas
Green Monkeys
Orange Iguanas
and Silver Snakes.
First, the teams must try to cross a moat. Only four of the six teams will make it to...
the Steps of Knowledge. Teams must correctly answer questions about the legend, and make it down to the bottom step. Two teams will advance to...
the Temple Games. The teams must complete 3 physical challenges, loosely based on the legend of the day, and they earn Pendants of Life for winning. The team with the most pendants, or the winner of the tiebreaker, will go to the bonus round...
Olmec's Temple. Here, the remaining team must negotiate the temple, get the legendary artifact, and get out, within 3 minutes. If they run out of time, or if the second player gets caught by aq temple guard with no pendant, GAME OVER.
If the team succeeds in getting out of the temple, with the artifact, before time is up, they will win a vacation.
All in all, this was a pretty good show, which died long before its time. Nickelodeon could have supported a show like this nowadays, but no.... they just HAVE to be the next Cartoon Network.

I always wanted to be a contestant on "Legends of the Hidden Temple" during its run... but I never could make the trip to Orlando. I just KNEW I could get all the way to the end -- and win the vacation!

Get the Legends of the Hidden Temple mug.1. A Russian penal institute. Stands for "G"lavnoe "u"pravlenie ispravitel'no-trudovykh "lag"erei (chief administration of corrective labor camps.)
2. Any mental institute in the USA. People get sent to those hellholes for expressing themselves, reporting abuse (or any wrongs done to them), writing poetry, speaking out against government policies, when their parents dislike them, and for various other HARMLESS "violations" of the so-called "social contract." Essentially, these people are punished for things they MIGHT do, based on someone's "artificial fear".
Inside the gulags of America, the "artificial fear" cycle is perpetuated. People who are less threatening than a person in a wheelchair, are treated worse than violent felons.
They are usually strapped down and jacked up with dangerous psychotropic drugs 24 hours a day, and they are given less rights than the most dangerous correctional institute inmates -- they are prevented from communicating with the outside world in ANY way, they are denied the right to an attorney or physician, and they are denied medical treatments for their injuries, cancer, and acute illnesses...... all in the name of $cientology.
Patients even get MURDERED by the staff... and these staffers never see a day in jail, because all the murders are covered up.

"Stop protesting and carrying signs outside government buildings, you fool, or the secret police will haul you off to the gulag!"

Get the gulag mug."Popo" and "Nana", from the early NES game "Ice Climber." Until they appeared in the Gamecube game "Super Smash Bros. Melee", no one knew who they were.
The NESkimos got their asses kicked off the mountain again... Dammit! *takes out the cartridge and chucks it across the room*

Get the NESkimos mug.1. A character on the often-overlooked 1988 cartoon "Ronin Warriors" (the English dubbed version of "Yoroiden Samurai Troopers".) The series unfortunately lasted for ONLY 39 episodes. I'm surprised this hasn't been seen on Toonami.
2. Short for Samina -- a beautiful young lady who's a mild-mannered grocery cashier by day, but is a WORLD-CLASS anime artist by night!

Get the Mina mug.1. A strong son-of-a-gun who loads up the shelves with consumer goods, in retail outlets.
2. The name of a long-forgotten 1986 Bally/Sente arcade game, in which you drive the "General Lee" from Florida to California, avoiding cops, and trying not to run out of gas. A very primitive game, by today's standards -- or even the standards of the early 1990s. Not a bad time-killer, though.

Get the Stocker mug.A "Lover's Lane," breakdown lane, RV park, mountaintop, alley, or any other place couples park for the purpose of having sex in said vehicle.
Example: "Inspiration Point," often mentioned in the TV show "Happy Days."

Get the porking lot mug.A long-standing manufacturer of motorhomes. In recent years, they've seemed to put out quite a few models that looked like just long, nondescript boxes on wheels.
For many years, "Winnebago" has been used as a synonym for "motorhome" -- regardless of its manufacturer.
