Contestants: Amy & Julie Levinson vs Korey & Kerry Washington -- Playing Games: Food Fight, Congo Bongo, Zoar, Tron, Super Pac Man. Grand Prize: Stern's Journey Video Arcade Game
The arcade cabinet that was the prize in this episode is the rarest videogame of all time. It's "Journey" by Stern, and no known cabinet of it exists. Mind you, it isn't the game based on the band Journey - this is a completely different game from a different developer.
Saw this is back on TV again with the return of G4! Weird that we still don't have a modern day video game based game show. I guess eSports is kind of that in a way...
Apparently, the production company has at the very least shown interest in the idea of a revival for years, but only on the website and with no concrete plans in place. I hope they do revive this show someday. Maybe Shout! Factory, who (as far as I know; correct me if I'm wrong) now owns the rights can make it happen?
I was kinda wondering how this gameshow would've handled the later arcade titles with multiplayer capabilites like Gauntlet, or IKARI Warriors had the show not been canceled so soon. My guess is that therre would be more episodes with dual contestants like this one. However, I do remember Mario Bros getting featured here and that has multiplayer.
That would have been really interesting to see. If only the Game Crash of '83 would not have led to this show's demise, who knows how long this show would have aired? Maybe it would still be in first-run to this day.
we agree - Atari made lots of really great games - Food Fight! was one of them -- came out in April 1983 so it was a new game when this show was taped.
yes, Galaga (7 shows - played 5 times) and Mappy(7 shows - played 6 times) appeared on several shows. 1942 which came out in 1984 was a war game so I think we had a game in Studio 2. But it never appeared on any show
Could you please upload all the episodes with Mary in it? I know on her earliest show, she played Pole Position, and she learned how to work the gear shift, shifting into high gear at the appropriate moment (when the speed gets to 130 mph).
that’s my mom and aunt!!!
Very cool! Growing up the the Bay Area, I loved this show!
Have you shown this episode to them? @indieejworld

Source?
@@jesterofdimensionzLook it up if you're too lazy.
What’s even sadder is that Atari acquired Stern’s IP, but Journey is not listed under the titles they acquired.
The Levinsons' energy is as awesome as their rock-paper-scissors method to determine who plays
This is by far the coolest game show I've ever watched. Omfg as I was writing this a Dragons lair ad played. I've nerdgasmed.
I think 1970s' Match Game is more fun. But Starcade's clever use or video game trivia and contest playing is surprisingly exciting.
I remember watching this episode the morning it aired. Had to be up at like 5 in the morning on Saturday to catch it, since it wasn't time shifted.

Those Levinson twins sure do have a mighty set of lungs!

I’m just finding out that I like old games and food fight really appeals to me

I love video games and I remember this host.
The Levinsons should probably consider switching to decaf.
never seen that coming
Did they ever have Galiga, Mappy or 1942 on this show? Those are 3 of my favorites.
yes, Galaga (7 shows - played 5 times) and Mappy(7 shows - played 6 times) appeared on several shows. 1942 which came out in 1984 was a war game so I think we had a game in Studio 2. But it never appeared on any show
Wow Mr.Disc?
This game show has some similar rules from Nick Arcade.
nice
Nick Arcade was kinda its spiritual successor, even including games that had yet to be released (such as Sonic 2).
Gen X had the best of it.
no scare smaville and get way with it
be cool
nice
never see that coming
I have to say almost every episode gave away the parker brothers video games and it never states what system they are to be used for.
Parker Brothers was a sponser of Starcade ... at the time, they made games for virtually home system.__Mavis, Co-Creator/Executive Producer/Writer
