I stumbled across a bunch of these shows on youtube.

Not sure what amused me more. The clothes of our lost era or the way the host(s) presented the games. It wasn't a game show...it was a commercial!

HA! I thought this show was atrocious. Players sucked at the games they were playing and only were able to play it for a couple of minutes... hardly enough time to advance any further than the novice levels.

It obviously didn't last very long either. Probably from October 1981 to June 1982.  ;D

That show may have been cheezy, but it was very helpful to see the new games hitting the arcades since there was not any internet back then. And even with the games they have out today, they can not touch the games of the late 70's, 80's and early 90's
