Nick Arcade | The 90s Show That Put Kids Inside Video Games - Retro Gaming History!

Nick Arcade was a TV game show centered around what are now considered retro video games video games that aired from 1991 through 1992. Two teams of two were pitted against with the winning team after 2 rounds getting to compete inside of an actual video game (well before virtual reality, PS4, orother modern means) for the grand prize. Nick Arcade was a technical marvel at the time and an extremely popular show for Nickelodeon. This is the story of how a group of pioneers, Amiga Computers, and a charismatic host made the impossible happen… putting people inside of real video games. This is the story of Nick Arcade.

@@wmc181 thanks! It's definitely been a flop in overall views and because of that KZbin has greatly reduced how often it recommends my other videos to people too. Thing is I can see in analytics that KZbin barely even suggested the nick arcade video to people to begin with. So it never even had a chance to fail or succeed on its own merit. It's frustrating as hell but I really appreciate the support and comments like this one. ✊🏻

The 90s were both the grand finale of the former era and old school ways of life, and the great birthing of the modern era - a fascinating combination. What a time to be alive; and to be a kid.

[@scottcounty6919]

The best decade ever. The last decade ever. Other than advancements in healthcare, every aspect of everything has been downhill since. The 2000's brought us the "war on terror" which was truly just the 'war on Israel's enemies'. This changed everything. Now we have this mechanized world where everyone hates each other. It's only going to get worse. Shalom goyim.

Ouch! At 18:10 -- it's a hard slap at Dan Vitco and myself, who actually created 95% of the music for Nick Arcade. Dean Friedman contributed about five of the interactive game beds to our effort, which included 70+ music cues including all themes, Mikey's movement (which James smartly suggested we snip from the Main Theme for this), and the Wizard game at the end. Had you researched us I would have been happy to share the music for your otherwise great video! Cheers.

[@ubahfly5409]

For some reason, as a 12y/o, I just couldn't get in to it. As strange as it may sound, at the time I found it about as underwhelming as it probably appears to kids today. I can appreciate the innovation though.

[@princeofpop8]

I watched it sometimes, I even seen it when I was visiting Texas in half the summer of 93’. Back home in Canada we have a game show kinda similar, but mainly gameplay, tips and music/movies called “Video & Arcade Top 10” on YTV.

[@stanziel8122]

Ah yes, my 15 minutes of fame. Seeing the Mandala interface sent a shiver down my spine. I coded a few of the video zone games for Dean in New York. Never saw the sets. The mummy was a lot of work since the kids always hit the legs when ducking. I had to split it in half and Mandala didn't make syncing up the motion easy. Mandala didn't make anything easy. But it performed some real magic once you got it all to work. I wonder what they could have done with the laser disc (@8:30) Dean Friedman did a Mandala and Laser Disc installation for the Brooklyn Children's Museum back then. I wrote the parallel port driver for the player that spoke ARexx and then the ARexx scripts to interface with Mandala so it could control the player. I think Nickelodeon took the video zone development in-house for season two. But my place is still set in the credit roll of YT re-runs. Long ago and far away.

[@retrothing]

I used Amigas professionally until around 2000. Which is frankly nuts. I’m convinced that there was nothing ARexx couldn’t do. 😁

[@slmjm8849]

You gotta remember that Baseball in the late 80's and early 90's was very popular. Topps, Upper Deck, Score, Fleer and other card companies made an overly abundant amount of cards during that time, that even the rookie cards (especially those that would end up in the Hall of Fame) today are extremely cheap to get today because they made so many of them. It almost killed the hobby. Thankfully it's doing good now.

[@RichV20]

1994 MLB strike and cancellation of the World Series did irreparable harm to baseballs popularity. Early 90s, it was still popular with kids, second to NFL. Baseball strike coinciding with jordans popularity, 1992 Dream Team and assortment of NBA stars had NBA become kids second favorite league by that time.

[@5roundsrapid263]

EVERYBODY collected baseball cards in those days. They’re basically worthless now.

[@MoneyManHolmes]

The card cutters have done a lot of damage these past couple of years. For those out of the loop - for many years, a few previously-respected people have been buying slabbed cards, breaking them out, cutting as little as 1/64 of an inch off each edge to remove wear, and resubmitting them, only recently getting detected and called out for it. In some cases, a 1 point increase can make the card worth 1000’s more! Hopefully someone does a documentary on the scandal soon. It would be quite entertaining.

I had zero interest in baseball and even I had a few baseball cards. They were, indeed, everywhere in the early 90s!

I love when I find YT videos about shows I watched as a kid but had completely forgotten about

[@Jim-Jam]

Found this fascinating!! Thanks for sharing and making this vid!

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

Thanks for watching!

[@girandpiggy95]

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

Thanks!

Fantastic doc, really enjoyed it. I want one of the Space Camp admission passes Nickelodeon has lying around

[@duane8620]

Man I loved that show. I was so jealous of those kids getting on the gameshow. As I got older I realized, yeah it's probably a green/blue screen. The host was one of my favorites from Nick, he's behind Rick Summers from Double Dare. Great show for the 90's. Best show I can recall loving off the top of my head: You Can't do that on Television. Liver and brussel sprouts ha! Great video really loved this!!

Watched the original upload then watched this one to see what the difference was. Huge respect for making the correction. I’m always excited to see new videos and look forward to your documentaries no matter what it’s on. I have a cooking channel myself and can understand how hard it is to make a mistake and lose those views to the algorithm. Your integrity means a lot to your fans!

Totally forgot about this show but, I loved it as a kid. Thanks for the video!

[@worsel555]

You know I have mad respect and love for what you do and put out, but you got even more respect from myself and I am sure others for reuploading a video because of an error. Keep being awesome and as always I can't wait for the next one.

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

Thanks again, Ken. It was just the right thing to do.

[@jabelsjabels]

Oh man this is so good!! I'm hugely interested in both games and early digital broadcast tech like this, love it!

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it!

Hey bro I believe I shared my story with you in a previous comment but I just wanted to let you know that all of your work and all of the other guys who contribute to these videos are phenomenal. The amount of true enthusiasm and love for the hobby are clearly shown in all of your content and you’ve quickly become my favorite channel! Keep up the good work!
