What was the name of the game show on nickelodeon from 20 years ago that had a video game named max?

I remember a game show that was like a video game. Contestants controlled this video game character Max on this big tv screen.I also remember if they made a wrong move a dragon would kill the character. At the end of the game the winning contestants were put into a video game themselves for the final round. Does anyone remember the name of this?|||I think you're thinking of Nick Arcade.|||The only thing that comes to mind is Nick Arcade.|||Nick Arcade! Awesome show! I always wanted to be on it!
