2:05 Ahem. If I may. To quote Andrea Lively... "Nick Arcade was recorded in front of a live studio audience at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Orlando, Florida." Sorry. I just couldn't resist. lol
I used to wake up at 4am every morning on NICK GAS and watch this show before i went to school (a few hours before at 7am) and fall asleep in class I SO MISS THE 90'S #90BABIES4EVER
"Behind this door is the Video Zone, between our world and the video dimensions waiting to challenge you to face 3 video game wizards. Will it be....Merlock, Scorsha or Mongo? These two teams will face off for this challenge. Which team will face 3 wizards? Find out today on....NICK ARCADE!!! And now here is the man who always pumps us up, PHIL MOORE!!!"
I loved this show, but I would always get so disappointed when the kids only got to play the video games for like 50 seconds. Getting to watch someone else play video games on TV back then...it was such a novel, mind blowing thing. You didn't have UA-cam and Twitch where you could watch other people stream their video game let's plays all day long. It really blew my mind seeing other kids playing video games on TV. Video games that I owned and played.
Fun fact, for Credit Crawl they used the theme song at least a few times :P "I remember 1 episode nobody buzzed in so they played part of the theme song"
Get ready for the ultimate video challenge as these two teams go head to head with a maze of electronic obstacles for the right to face one of our game wizards in the Video Zone! Ready your comments! Here comes... NICK ARCADE!!!
0:57 - 1:06 My favorite part of the theme (Similar if not the same as the end of the face off music used for Battle of the Bands, Brainstorm and Star Defenders)
behind this door is the video zone. a place b/w our world n the video dimension. waiting 2 challenge u 4 control of da video zone is 1 of the game wizards. is it: merlock, scorcha, or mongo? these 2 teams will play 4 the right 2 enter the video zone n face that game wizards challenge. who will it be? find out 2day on nick arcade. and now here's ur host, a guy who always remembers to leave the memory card in when saving his game file, phil moore.
Behind This Door Lies the "Video Zone", a Special Place Between Our World and the Video Dimension. Waiting to Challenge You for Control of the Video Zone is One of Three Game Wizards, Either MERLOCK, SCORCHIA, or MONGO.
These two teams will battle for the right to enter the Video Zone and face that wizard’s challenge. Who will it be? Find out today on… NICK ARCADE! And now, here’s the man who puts the control in controller, Phil Moore!

Just watched this on Paramount+ since I just got it today. Did anyone ever make it to the goal without running out of time? The Video Zone prizes in the first episode: a karaoke machine (first room) Worldbook (second room) a trip to Unviersal Studios (grand prize) I'll just take the karaoke machine. I'm already at Universal. The encyclopedia sounds boring.
There were at least a few times where a team made it to the Goal during a round - how it worked for the times it did happen was that the team not in control chose a category, then the team in control had to answer a question in that category. Getting it right scored the points for the Goal, getting it wrong gave those points to the other team by default.
There was also a trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg in the last season I remember _nobody_ winning (regardless of how close they came to defeating the wizard). What a pity - *I'd* sure go for it!

i was ALWAYS so upset to see the kids that sucked playing these games, like who the fuck can't get 20 coins in sonic the hedgehog? Where the hell are they getting these damn kids?...then i found out NSYNC's Joey Fatone was on there... then it all made sense
I will not upload any more soundtracks from this game show because I don't want to get a Copyright Strike on UA-cam. Two of my friends had their UA-cam accounts terminated for uploading every episode as well as the music from Legends of the Hidden Temple. (One account uploaded the music and the other uploaded the episodes)
2:06 Nick Arcade was taped in front of a live studio audience at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Orlando, Florida!
Hype music right here! One of the best Nickelodeon game show themes!
I wish Nick would reboot this show, it was fun to watch
James007HungerZone The creators are actually trying to.
+ASilva528 Seriously?!?!
cutemimi25 Yeah, Phil Moore even said so himself.
ASilva528 Awesome, is he going to host, if that were the case it'd be awesome.
I liked Phil a lot more than the overrated Mark Summers when it came to the nick hosts
2:05 Ahem. If I may. To quote Andrea Lively...
"Nick Arcade was recorded in front of a live studio audience at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Orlando, Florida."
Sorry. I just couldn't resist. lol
Hey we all would’ve done the same thing, lol
Such a nice and upbeat tune for a game show.
Wow, I forgot how awesome all these old Nick game show themes were. So fun!
I'm thirty. This hit me right in the childhood.
EchoHavoc I'd have to say that this was pretty much my favorite Nickelodeon game show.
This, and G•U•T•S
Same here
Same here, also Finders Keepers and Legends of the Hidden Temple
@@nathanbyberg I'm too young to remember Finders Keepers. I only saw it on GAS
"Behind this door lies the Video Zone.."
Good clean cut of the theme. Nice job :)
OOHHHHHH This takes me all the way back! Thank you so much jomar500, for posting this classic treasure! 💯LIKES to you!! ✌🏿
Awesome. This is so '90s a tube of pogs appeared in my pocket.

This is a goated theme for a underrated show
For anyone still listening to this in 2024, Phil Moore is having an AMA on reddit on 7/29/24 @4pm EST.
Did anyone else wake up at 4am to catch this show on Nick Gas in the early 2000s?
ALL THE TIME. I think it was 3 or 3:30am. It was the best part of when my bestie would sleepover was staying up for Nick Arcade!
Hell no son. I DVRed that ish. Way easier.
Yup loooooool
@@newageoutlaw Me too, I always DVR'd Nick Arcade until it rebranded to The-N.
Nope. That was my high school days and we didn't have one yet.
Holy crap! I forgot how awesome this theme was!!
Definitely has that late 80s-early '90s feel to it.
So what!! It's still not bad. Plus the show came out in the early 90s.
@@steelionx9255 I'm sure they meant it as a good thing
Those were the "good ole' days" if you ask me.
Memories from '92 right here!
@1:31 best part of the theme for me
I actually bought Super Ghouls N Ghosts out of curiosity because no one ever played it on Nick Arcade. Bad idea.
No one also ever chose El Viento.
Most of the time they'd go for the Neo Geo games (Ghost Pilots, Robo Army, King of the Monsters).
Behind This Door Lies the "Video Zone", A Special Place between Our World and the Video Dimension.
Waiting to challenge you in front of the Video Zone is one of the game wizards is it Merlock Scorcia or Mongo
OMG THANK YOU! I've been looking everywhere for this. Time to update my iPod!
Holy crap, this is AMAZING
thank you so much!
If Legends of the Hidden Temple is getting an adult-focused reboot on Quibi, so should this.
I totally agree, I’ll only do the show if they film in my state
I haven't seen this in the early 2000's when I was a kid I enjoy watching it at my grandparents house
Fun fact, for Credit Crawl they used the theme song at least a few times :P

This show should’ve been on dvd , please comment if you agree
This one and Finders Keepers! Aw, heck.....let's throw in Legends Of The Hidden Temple!
Nickelodeon arcade simulator is back
This show was the shit growing up
“And here’s your host, a guy who never hits ‘RESET’ when he means ‘PAUSE’, PHIL MOORE!”
Going back and rewatching it, i think we ALL could play better than most of those kids!

0:57 - 1:05 don't recall hearing this part of the theme song in the show before, really like that part ... hehehehe
I recognize that part now - same as the end of the music cue used for the Brainstorm, and season 1 Star Defender face off.

0:24 FIND OUT TODAY ON NICK ARCADE !!!!!!
Gex:oh no my inner childhood came out
And it hurts
The intro is a banger
this here omgod i would stay up to 4 in the morning when it aired
This game show had me buy the video game Hyperzone. I loved playing it growing up, and the last boss was nasty AF.
When this theme started it was an endorphin rush as a kid LOL
0:11, 0:24 & 1:32
Randomly popped into my head while driving to work May 2022.
My child self screaming at the players not knowing how the games worked
Did anyone else notice if you listen very well that the musical instruments are saying "NICK ARCADE"?
Я не в курсе, но отличная тема!
Wow!!! I was looking for this for my phone!!!!
Thank you!!!

I used to get so mad at the kids they would have on there..so uncoordinated...
0:25
sounds a bit like city full of stars
They could try out either Augmented or Virtual Reality if they reboot this, or both.
nick should make some new game shows
Anyone know the piano notes for 0:15? I couldn't find any online
i was ALWAYS so upset to see the kids that sucked playing these games, like who the fuck can't get 20 coins in sonic the hedgehog? Where the hell are they getting these damn kids?...then i found out NSYNC's Joey Fatone was on there... then it all made sense
Sounds like a spin-off of tmnt
Any chance you have the video zone music? I've been looking for the theme from the monkey level.
I will not upload any more soundtracks from this game show because I don't want to get a Copyright Strike on UA-cam.

+jomar500 Understandable. Do you actually have the themes though? If I could obtain them another way I'd appreciate it. Email, cloud, etc.
I'll see what I can do about E-mailing the soundtrack.
+jomar500 Thank you. If it's too large I'd be happy with just that 1 theme on the monkey level. :)
+jomar500 dude, if you can shoot me the soundtrack in a PM i'd be really appreciative!
