legends of the hidden temple pendants of life

Did you ever scream at the TV when some idiot kid couldn’t put together the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, or feel a tad bit anxious waiting for a Temple Guard to pop out? Yeah, we were right there with you. The same goes for daily viewers like myself, my brother, and my aforementioned college chums, who spent countless valuable hours of our youth witnessing the Temple Games, wondering how we ourselves would fare should Nickelodeon ever give us the precious opportunity. But there is no arguing that for the six rainbow-colored teams of fresh-faced youths waiting to face the treacherous waters of The Moat, the drama was ever so real. Okay, so maybe the stakes weren’t quite as high in good ol’ Olmec’s Temple, and the winners walked away with family vacations and super cool skateboards instead of, well, their lives. You see, long before The Hunger Games made the spectacle of sending teams of children into an arena filled with deadly, dangerous obstacles fun again, us ’90s kids were getting our daily dose of televised youth blood sport on Nickelodeon via the Indiana Jones-inspired Legends of the Hidden Temple.
