I ran across this today,
I remember seeing it back then - do you?

STARCADE is a game show where contestants compete by answering trivia questions about video games and by playing video games. The show aired on television stations across the US in the 1980's, generally in a Saturday morning or early afternoon time slot. It featured the hottest video games of that time. Today, the games of STARCADE are considered the classics of the video game industry.

Since I live in Canada, I never saw this show back in the day. When I
bought the 20th Anniversary DVD set of Dragon's Lair there was an
episode of Starcade on the disc, the episode that showcased Dragon's
Lair (obviously). I would love to see more episodes. Too bad the DVDs
they sell only have five episodes on them each. But I guess it's better
than nothing.
I seriously doubt there'll be any Computer Space on those shows.

2-3 years ago, G4 - the gaming channel, before it was rolled into
tech-tv, used to show old episodes of it everynight. They may still,
not sure. Is awesome though..

Yep. I was in my early 20's then. It was kind of neat at first but I
dunno, either it got geeky or I didn't Cool to see someone archived
it though!

I bought the DVD and think it's worth every penny. It would be nice if
there were more episodes on it, but I'm sure the first one was kind of a
test one to see what kind of a demand there is before they release more.

I live in Canada, and I remember seeing it as a kid. It used to air
on Global TV in Ontario.
