Anyone remember those old Cartoon Network DBZ games?

I hope these haven't been discussed somewhere on this board, but I couldn't find anything in the search results, so:

I was feeling nostalgic recently, and I remembered two games Cartoon Network had on its website during the height of dub popularity. They're gone now, but I dug them up on other sites.

Mission to Namek:
http://www.gamepilot.com/game/dragon+ba ... namek.html

This one is actually still a pretty fun strategy game, even with the plot holes.

Dragon Ball Z Tournament:

That one... is not. It's just tedious, not at all like I remember. Also, make sure you turn your volume down between battles.

So? Ring any bells? If nothing else, they're an interesting little look at an era gone by.

Yeah, I played those back in junior high. I always thought it was odd that Trunks was playable in a Namek game.

Is there a way to install Shockwave onto Firefox?

Mission to Namek is so incredibly easy once you learn the secret to the game.

Hint: Train everyone in all five moves before doing any fighting.

Yep, I remember... I worked hard to beat them, and I remember doing so.

Hey, I was only like 12.

I love how in "Mission to Namek" they use the dub names for everything but then turn around and use "Renzuko [sic] Energy Dan" (aka Rapid-Fire Energy Blast).

Oh, and is it just me or does Captain Ginyu have a really drooping face, like a bloodhound?

We Gotta Power instrumental FTW.

In that they used it, not in its quality.

I never played them but I remember one being shown on Cartoon Network back in the mid 90's, always got a strange sensation when I watched them because it looked so fast paced and fun.

But now with the Budokai games I'm like, what the **** was I thinking.

That's the Mission to Namek intro music thingy... with the flying?

Oh, I see.
I was expecting a more full version, not just the first few notes.
