Since AFRTS was the bastion of must see TV in the early 80's (Combat and Space 1999 was prime time, for example), I was dying to see some current TV. I caught Starcade and got hooked. Sadly, it would be two years before we moved back to the states so cable could even be a possibility, and the show ended somewhere around that time. What a great show! Thanks for bringing it up!

It is fun to watch now though. I do not think this show was shown in the Seattle area in its prime. It is fun to watch now though.

This brings back some great memories. Now my daughteres (8 & 4 years old) can watch this and laugh at me more than they already do when I tell them about how video games were once in big boxes and there was only one game per box. They just don't understand why I get misty-eyed when I described the first time I played Space Invaders or Pac-Man.-b1gg33k Ah, Starcade! This brings back some great memories.

Not two days ago was I telling my husband about Happy Joe's, and the pizza window, where you could watch them toss the dough for hours on end. I spent many a birthday there...then moved it to Showbiz Pizza, where robot animals became more entertaining than dough tossing. It was around that time that, I believe, when Happy Joe's went out of business. I feel like they came back again, but ultimately failed.Ah, Des Moines. Happy Joe’s…that’s too funny.
