Starcade (1982–1984) on TBS
About Starcade
Starcade ended on July 17, 1984, on TBS. The show originally aired from December 27, 1982, to July 17, 1984, and was hosted by Geoff Edwards after the first 23 episodes. It was a game show that featured contestants competing against each other by playing arcade video games, with the goal of accumulating the highest scores across multiple rounds.
The series was a competition where two players or teams answered arcade-related questions and then played various arcade games to earn points within a set time limit. The game consisted of three rounds, each starting with a toss-up question, followed by players choosing arcade games to play for points. The player with the highest score at the end of the rounds won the game and a bonus prize, and could attempt to identify arcade games in the "Name the Game" segment for additional rewards.
Geoff Edwards was the sole listed cast member, serving as the host.
