Starcade (1983) Theme Song

The theme song to the original and greatest video game TV game show. Love those funky late 70's beats.

Wow this brings back memories. My brother is playing keys, I'm playing synth bass, my husband is on congas and a close friend on guitar. We put this together one afternoon at MindSeed Entertainment.

Hello, I'm from Argentina, I'm programming my first Shump's style Indie game from the 80's 90's, the version will be for PC and Arcade, you can see several tests on the channel, I would like to use this sound for some Bonus screen, it would be an honor to remember part of the story, of course they will also be in the thanks credits, thank you very much!

Also sounds like it could fit the background a late 70s or early 80s car commercial probably? :)

Me and my family are the creators of the theme song. My uncle Edwin "Tobo" Anderson on electric piano, my mother Tanyah Cotton ion synth, my father on congas, Stan Ranks (Tupac "so many tears" astan the guitar man) lead guitar, "Pookie" Jenkins on bass, Randy "traps" Jackson on drums, myself on tambourine and maracas done in Hayward CA 1983. My family group was called the Magicians. My uncle who did music for Exidy and Namci (Mappy) had started his own company, mindseed music. Met Ted Turner and wanted to be on the show, but couldn't...

@@djdunbargrapes1186 do you have a better quality version? This song need to be preserved! Does it have an official name and artist?

[@donmccullen1973]

Don't forget a video game as it was composed by people who did music for video games.
