This thread brings back memories, to be honest I still watch many of these with my children and nephews and nieces.
I am much older than most of the members on this forum and when we were younger we only had one TV Channel PTV, later in the 90's we were blessed with Shalimar Televsion Network (PTN) and PTV 2. Anyway this resulted in very boring viewing, if you were luck enough post Zia you could own a sat dish and enjoy some excellent channels with a decoder.
For those who were not so wealthy, we relied on pirated copies of cartoons on VHS and these are the ones I remember from my youth:
Atom Ant:
Bionic six:
Bravestar:
Sabre Rider:
The Centurions:
Captain Planet
Challenge of the Go Bots (This pre-dates transformers)
