If anyone aroudn oh i dunno 30ish remebers this way early morning video game show in the U.S. that matched contestants in head to head battles of games like tmnt2 and megamna 3. For a chance to run though maze with video game covered walls wearing only a velcro suit, and whatever you had stuck to your body or in your arms by the time you beat the clock and slide down the slide at the end was all yours to keep. Some lucky contestants also won the grand prize of a NEO-GEO!!! lolz. Anyway...
Point of my thread is im in a desperate search for some sort of archive online of old episodes. My best firend was on this show when he was like 13 and lost to a girl playing bart v.s. the space mutants. (he claims his station wasn't working properly) I want to check the video tape to once and for all get to the bottom of this! I've gone through the obvious outlets (google, wiki, youtube, a few gaming websites) and come up short. If anyone by some 1 in a million chance knows where i can find some links to seasons or individual episodes (more importantly the one with bart v.s the space mutants) that would be awesome. Cookies will be handed out upon mission complete.
And please refrain from mocking Johnny Arcade. The later 80's were dark dark days, and vanilla ice was all the rave. "Yea thats right!!...WORD!" *SIgh. Well at the elast if you've never heard of the show which im sure most of you haven't It's worth googeling anyway for a cheap laugh.

Very hard to read.....

Anyway if you can't find any videos online, you havn't got much chance trying to find a hard copy.

Appreciate it. And goodluck i've looked for about an hour on various sites, no big deal really. Just figured i'd throw it out there and hope for the best.

I remember that show, but it lasted a lot longer than you would think. I believe they were still making shows around the super nintendo era, but maybe I am mistaken (although I feel pretty confident about this).

As for an archive, good luck on finding something, because I have no idea if it exists.

I remember that show...I also remember it's 90's Nickelodeon Spin-Off: Nick Arcade.

Also, someone made a reference to the movie "The Wizard" two days ago...that brought back memories.
