The players then got anywhere from 40-60 seconds to score as many points as possible. The person/team who got the question right picked which of the five arcade games they would face off on. Each round began with a toss-up question about a video game, such as "The first event in Alpine Ski is A) Downhill Ski or B) The Slalom Race" answer (Downhill Ski). Two contestants (sometimes two teams of two) played three rounds. Unlike most game shows, this show was recorded in San Francisco, CA, the centerpiece for technology and video games in America. The result was Starcade, which originally ran from 1982-83 on Superstation WTBS and 1983-84 in syndication (via Turner Program Services). In 1981, JM Productions got the great idea to merge the two.
In the early 1980s, Video Games were huge.and so were Game Shows. Opening segment shown before each episode on G4TV from 2002-04
