Is "Captain Power" Considered a video game?

[outofkeyslightly]

I remember captain power somewhat fondly, but even as a child I don't remember it being very engaging. Less so than say Duck Hunt anyway. I still have one of the vhs tapes of this, but I sadly don't have either of the ships anymore. It was pretty funny to watch the little gi-joe guys fly out of the cockpit every once in a while, but that was about the extent of the interactivity. There was also some means of telling you how much health you had before the inevitable ejection, but I don't remember it working very well. The ships were pretty neat, but if Captain Power is a video game, then Furby's an rpg...
