Starcade!
Billed as TV’s frst video arcade game show, Starcade had its contestants battling each other on video game trivia, as well as actual gameplay. Originally aired in the early 1980’s, the show featured games like Zaxxon, Congo Bongo, Star Trek and Journey, to name a few.
Ten full episodes are available online, for those of you who want a bit of video game nostalgia. And, if nothing else, looking at the contestants is pretty entertaining, in and of itself.
More reminiscing on MetaFilter.
Kudos to Jane, for digging around and finding this gem of a site.
I love Starcade as I used to watch it as a kid in Florida. As I still like it though I missed it when it was on G4 years ago. Glad that they are putting episodes up as I am a member there. BTW, emailed the producers and they are super nice. Well, email me back because it’s nice to find Starcade fans! Sincerely Shelby T Mitchell!
