I used to watch this show religiously as a kid. This is episode one. It’s kind of weird. A guy too old to be on a show like that is competing against a little girl.

    Starcade absolutely rules. Protip: don’t watch the first season; the host didn’t give a toss about video games and it’s pretty hard to watch. In seasons 2+, he was replaced by the utterly fantastic Mr. Jeff Edwards, who is proof that no one is ever too old to be enthusiastic and knowledgeable about an exciting new technology. He’s seriously the best game show host I’ve ever seen, and he makes the episodes feel really wholesome and fun, even when contestants are mismatched in terms of age or ability. The whole series is available online, but please don’t slam their servers; it’s a one-person passion project from somebody who used to work on the show.
