Anyone remember this Japanese TV show that they used to play every Friday morning on KTV1? It used to be called Al-7esn and the Arabic voice over was done by a guy called Ryadh Shararah. Here is a site with more pictures, info on all the characters and details of all the games. [Link]

haha – this show is AWESOME! Back in the States it is played late night for all the college kids. They call it “Most Extreme Elimination Challenge” and it has the most hilarious voice overs! The show was originally filmed in the 80’s in Japan – too bad they don’t still have it!
Yes it was called Takashi’s Castle. I think they still show it on Spacetoon. Also it is on one of the Indian sat channels for kids.
I remember thinking I wanted to go to Japan just to try out the games like…
*Running up the slope with the big foam rocks rolling down!
*The maze with the doors that would open into water.
*Running across the bridge with footballs flying at you.
*That weird thing where you slide down a rope and you have to land on a mushroom.
I will go one day – if it is still open.
I liked the maze.. where those 2 weird looking guys were waiting to blacken the faces of those silly contestants!
in my opinion. this show was incredibly annoying, never liked it…
i remember when one contestant slammed through the wooden door and actually broke it and went on to the next level .. i remember seein’ the show in Canada a while ago
lol i used to wait every friday noon to watch it 🙂 the arabic commentor sucked big time but for some reason i never missed a show
Here’s a link of the show! (English commentary)
