Theres an interesting episode in which the Rangers visit the planet Tarkon, which on the surface is a medieval society which uses magical amulets, staves of telekinesis and sending stones. Anyway the psychic ranger Niko takes centre stage when they have to assist a local Shaman to heal the Heart of Tarkon.Its eventually revealed that the Heart is an ancient organic Bio-computer, and that the magic of Tarkon is all technology run via interface with the Heart. Anyway it was a cool premise for a Sci-Fantasy in an otherwise Sci-Fi lite show. Of course it doesnt always work - just look at the Midichlorian theory stuffing up the Force <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Also has anyone else played Masters of Umdaar from FATE Worlds of Adventure - its unapologetically a toolkit to let you play Sci-Fantasy characters based on Master of the Universe, Thundaar etc. Being FATE the narrative first and lite ruleset but also lite on setting (ie it presumes that you already know the genre anyway)Xyber-9 ran in 1999 for 10 episodes, but then was cancelled then revived a few year later. Anyway most of the show consisted of the protagonist and his 'magical artifact' Xyber-9 going on quest to recover lost tech which the Ancients buried before the great war..When first found the protagonist uses Xyber-9 as a Mace and only later learns that it is an advanced Super-Computer able to interface with ancient tech.</blockquote>
