I've just added 111 episodes of Starcade to our TV-Shows Section. Many of you might not know this one as the series is older than most that you'd find in our TV-Shows Section. It was aired from December 27, 1982 to September 1984. Definitely a very old show. Here's the low-down on what it's about:

Starcade was a game show where contestants competed against one another by playing arcade video games. The series originally aired on WTBS from 1982-1983, followed by a run in syndication for the following season.

The series was originally hosted first by Mark Richards, who was replaced after the first 23 WTBS shows in favor of Geoff Edwards for the rest of the run.

Two players (or teams; age-regardless) competed. Three rounds were played.

Each round began with a video arcade-game related toss-up question. The player who buzzed in and answered correctly got first choice of five free-standing arcade games in the studio. After choosing, the player had 40 seconds (later 60, then 50) to amass as high a score as they could. After that contestant was done, the other contestant got to play the game that their opponent picked. Whatever points they earned were added to their overall score.

The second and third rounds were played identically, with 40 seconds (later 50) game playing time for the second round, and 40 seconds for the third. At the end of the second round (and third when the series began), the player in the lead played "Name The Game", where they could win a prize by correctly identifying four video arcade games by screenshots. Prizes were awarded if the player could correctly identify three or four games.

One of the five games was the "mystery game". If the player chose it during normal game play, they would receive a prize.

The player in the lead at the end of the third and final round won the game and a bonus prize, moving on to the bonus round...
