In 1990, a TV show based on the popular American video game magazine GamePro was introduced. GamePro TV ran for 2 seasons and was hosted by J.D. Roth and Brennan Howard. There are 24 known episodes of GPTV which ran from September 30th, 1991 until it's final show on August 10th, 1992. A handful of these episodes have been captured and made public. Six were from a public torrent and the other seven are from various sources (YT & UG). They have been renamed to the correct episode numbering and I've added a quick & dirty listing to each..
