I first saw this in the late 90s on Cartoon Network's "Toonami."
While the animation is clearly dated and the cartoon humor typically over the top, this is one of the few action cartoons from my childhood that I can re-watch without rolling my eyes too hard. The story arc still holds up. The location is what drew me in then and what intrigues me still, because in the 90s, computers were very mysterious and just looking at a motherboard still makes me think it looks like some sort of tiny metropolis. The villains still hold up to some extent and the writing can still be compelling. A kids show. Compelling. Yup. The voice actors really made me feel like they breathed life into the characters and not like most action cartoons of the time where it just felt like they were hired to do a job.
For those of you seeking an end to the adventure, a web comic series was released in the mid 2000s that tied up the loose ends of the story and ended on a great note, with everyone getting a happily ever after, though not without being worse for wear.
