Starcade returns: Retro 80s video game show
Super-bitchin' '80s videogame memories. Starcade was a game show that launched around 1983, played on Saturday mornings, and now replays on G4 Network (the all-gaming TV channel that Comcast is merging with TechTV). T-shirts and DVDs are coming out in April, and I want them most badly.
Show contestants played videogames to win fabulous prizes -- everything from video arcade games to the infamous "Mister Disc," as well as swank Wrangler jean jackets and my favorite -- "a trip to Hawaii and a roll of quarters."
Watch the original promo,
