Starcade Eps001

[@rodneyadderton1077]

I love this show. Makes me miss the 80's like something furious.

[@Krazy_Shorts]

Holy jesus! I remember getting up SUPER early on Sunday mornings to watch this show!! WOW!

[@namco003]

On TBS, right? Ours was at 7:35. TBS was weird with that 5 minute deal. Making miss the first 5 minutes of Pacman on Saturday morning

[@squadfathercrypto]

My favorite memory...some really old gentleman, clearly out of his element, managed to score zero on his game. Hearing him ask, "No points? Zero??" Is something I'll never forget.

[@starcadetvv]

Mark Richard Eps 20 Bill Brock vs Linda Davis Playing Games: Rescue, Lock N Chase, Lost Tomb, Super Pac Man, Time Pilot Grand Prize: Wacko video arcade game. You can see it here: starcade.tv/starcade/games/shows.html ... Just click Episodes in the top menu. They were playing the game Rescue ... and your memory is correct ... take a look again.

[@guapounggoy]

Walter White vs. Little Orphan Annie....BEGIN!

[@mcswabin207]

Hosted by Micheal from The Office

[@Barbarianbrotha]

This would be wild on some psychadelics😂

[@MrMarvelous1973]

I remember this on TBS. I loved Burger Time

[@pernelldh]

It was named as SuperStation WTBS at the time.

[@unicornmadness6286]

I bought burger time, mappy and other arcade games last summer and there fun still.

[@MissAshley42]

Wow, these questions! Even considering how new video games were at the time, they're still softball tosses. Tutankham's an interesting choice of game for this show, too. I played it for the first time a couple of years back. It really isn't a game that shows well in short bursts.

[@thelegendof420]

This was past my time but i really enjoyed watching this on G4. Now i can enjoy it here on KZbin awesome. Could you also maybe add the original air date on the description that would be more informative.

[@jluvbaby]

Why was almost every episode a grown up vs a Kid? LMMFAO!!! Never noticed this until years later. Loved this show as a kid.

[@marcpower4167]

They said they matched up the contestants based on skill level but I've noticed that too weird how it was often an adult vs. a kid.

[@terencewoelke]

Skill level mismatching was a thing back then before ranked matches online lobbies!!! 😅

[@StacyL.]

Thank you so much for posting this for all us GenXers who envied these contestants 😊.

[@TF_TV]

John never recovered from this L

[@renevaldez5717]

Pure nostalgia childhood memories bro.😢😢😢😢😢

[@Playpool1]

Would like to see a "Where are they now?" on the staff and contestants.

[@StacyL.]

Sadly, Mr. Cantu passed away in 2003 at the age of 55 of cancer. He ran a comedy nightclub called The Holy City Zoo Comedy Club. He also taught a joke writing class for aspiring comedians.

[@oldironsides4107]

I wonder if John wrote a best selling novel?

[@briancurry6602]

never see that coming

[@TF_TV]

On how he got his ass kicked by a little Annie girl on national television?

[@brianramsay7056]

I was looking online for a John Candy co.edy writer, but we all know the search results I got on that one, haha

[@boisegameshowguy]

@@TF_TV Let’s don’t forget: John had an advantage on the buzzer, he was pretty darn quick. Just Heidi had the advantage in the arcade games and steamrolled through them.

[@rudydavisjr2609]

Doubt it 😂😂

[@psibur]

I dreamed I was on this show constantly. Always wanted to get on there for that one slim chance I would win my own cabinet.

[@briancurry6602]

MY SPINE JUST THINK ABOUT

[@oldironsides4107]

I always used to want to be on the game show “ whore boat”. You could win a boat or a whore for life. People would usually pick the boat as it would have cost so much money to get the whore presentable and not contagious. But would be a good investment if they weren’t so down trodden and gross I would have liked to think I would have taken the whore. But probably the boat. The whore is more of a money put to restore her to working condition

[@lilnoggin7601]

​@@briancurry6602Are you okay?

[@ScottW967]

I remember this show would air around noon on Saturday after the cartoons….

[@Mrd9960]

Yeah wow, I totally remember this, Saturday afternoons, early to mid 80s, I would watch this every Saturday, I just completely forgot the name of this show being Starcade, I knew it was some arcade video game show, that i used to watch as a kid, but i couldn't remember the name, was trying to find this show for the longest time, finally! 😄👍

[@AndrewsClayCreations]

Way to go Heidi! I wonder if she still has the Eyes arcade game? It’s not one I remember seeing in the arcades where I grew up.

[@jaredpinkos5610]

I have spent my entire adult life not knowing about this show. My whole world view has changed overnight. Life is good…life is good

[@starcadetvv]

Welcome ... new Starcader! If you really want to see it ALL, check out the Starcade! website at Starcade.tv ... now that's really something!

[@ImmaBeast713]

John got his ass whooped by little Heidi

[@bensexton254]

Watched it every Sunday morning before church!

[@pernelldh]

3:51 Time Pilot

[@DaryckReese300]

This Resembles Phil Moore's Game Show of Nick Arcade.

[@starcadetvv]

Starcade was the first ... later followed by Nick Arcade and others. __Mavis, Co-Creator/Executive Producer/Writer

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Season 2 of Video Power (the 1991-92 season) was also similar to Starcade in a sense.

[@Itanium153]

Wow that was the goal back in the day, It was all about points.

[@morbiustimelord]

You win a game no one ever heard of or wants to play!!

[@216Eva]

Yes, In 2024, nobody heard of it. In 82, these were the games kids were playing.

[@tdickensheets]

December 27, 1982 - February 24, 1984

[@OptimusPrimeribs]

Would have loved to see this show extend into the late 80's and early 90's to see more of the games I played in the arcades then: Final Fight, Altered Beast, Heavy Barrel, SMB, Robocop, Double Dragon, WWF WrestleFest, NBA Jam and the list goes on.

[@scottbrouse3747]

Loved Time Pilot

[@ScottNapolitan]

I remember a couple years, this show was one of the three shows that led to the termination of the Game Show Temple on KZbin before it returned as Game Show Temple Archives. I'm just curious, was this channel, by any chance, the reason it was copyright-stricken for sharing Starcade on KZbin? If nobody knows, that's okay, I was just wondering. Another thing, Michael Tiller, the owner of the Game Show Temple tragically died at 35 last Thursday. (On 1-26-23.)

[@yoohootube]

i believe Shout TV bought it few years back

[@charmer711]

Clark Kent vs Annie

[@boisegameshowguy]

If this ever came back, the GoPro will come in very handy to provide reverse POV.

[@dj2bklyn]

Wow the Casio vl tone we all had one at one point lol

[@onaled515]

John went on to change his name to Ed and start a game called Mortal Kombat

[@stoogesfan87]

Please add more Starcade episodes.

[@berbudy]

They should bring this back, millenials vs gen alpha playing snes games would be hilarious

[@AlmightyVincent]

The thing that makes me laugh is that the issue of Electronic Fun is showcasing ET for the Atari. I bet they wished they hadn't shown that off in the first episode

[@pernelldh]

14:15 Burger Time

[@dratzlogic]

I'm so happy Heidi ends up winning this.

[@dj2bklyn]

They need to bring this show back with today's gaming

[@OptimusPrimeribs]

If you're talking about console and PC gaming, I think it could work if they dropped players into particular scenarios in games and assigned point values for tasks. They'd have to get creative because arcade games have a point system built in and they're easy to play for 40 second spurts.

[@lightheart5]

I used to watch this on the G4 channel

[@tyvillianheartthrob1856]

This show walked so that Video Power and Nick Arcade could run

[@bk9509-o2o]

Always loved those adult vs. kids matchups on this show, with the kids more often than not winning. Tutankam was a strange game to have on this show. Not much of a "high scoring" machine. Kind of would be like having Zelda as a game. Mark Richards was so awkward. Geoff Edwards was much better.

[@OptimusPrimeribs]

awkward and was mildly insulting to the contestants. I just got into watching this show for the first time and I like Edwards a lot better as well. He seemed to enjoy the job more.

[@tomxconn]

Mark didn’t do much for me, Geoff Edwards was much better

[@TheOusooner56]

Mark sucked

[@dccivild7452]

heidi looks like my aunt margret..

[@Sinn0100]

I haven't watched the video beyond the player introductions but...I know how this show picks its players. Basically they're on the same player level which means either John is pure garbage or Heidi is an allstar gamer. I hope it's the latter because I want to see Little Orphan Annie go ham on some games. ;)

[@retronova_official]

This used to air on G4, and when it stopped airing, that’s when I started to lose interest in the channel.

[@briancurry6602]

very nice

[@terminalblue]

10:07 "Let's turn you around and get you into position" is a thing I feel a lot of game show hosts have said to children over the years.
