I remember watching this show when I was a little kid (around 3 years old), and I remembered it fondly to present. About a month ago my family got digital cable, and I was flipping through the channels when I discovered the Nick GAS (Games and Sports) channel. On it was Legends of the Hidden Temple, the show I remembered fondly as a little kid. And it was just how I remembered it - it is an adventure show with six teams. Kirk Fogg is the host and Olmec is the talking stone head who gives them information to help them through the game. The first challenge narrows the field from six teams to four - it is the moat the teams have to get across. The first four teams move on to the steps of knowledge. Here Olmec tells a story about some historical figure and some artifact pertaining to that figure. After the teams hear the story, Olmec asks them questions about the story. The teams buzz in to answer and if they are correct they step down the steps. The first two teams to answer three questions correctly advance to the Temple games (semi-finals.) There are three games in the Temple games. The first two games are worth a half pendant of life. The third game is worth a whole pendant. Pendants can be used in the the Temple, when there is one team left, to escape from the Mayan Temple Guards. The team who has the most pendants after the Temple games goes on to take on the Temple. In the Temple there is a treasure, the artifact mentioned earlier in the story told by Olmec, that the team is trying to find and remove from the Temple within three minutes. You barely see any more game shows on Nickleodeon, like they had when I was a little kid, including games like Legends of the Hidden Temple. If you have digital cable at least you can still see reruns of the old shows on Nick GAS.
