I love Alex but he seemed a bit out of his element here.

Starcade was awesome once Geoff Edwards took over hosting. I hear people say it should be brought back but I don't really know how you could these days, games generally don't have scoring systems comparable to those in 70s and 80s arcade games.

I'm glad they figured out before they went to series that they shouldn't start the timer in games with an intro sequence until the point where the player actually gets to start controlling the game.

This wouldn't have happened with the other contestant.

The best game show pilot hosted by Trebek will always be Malcolm, though.

Alright we're gonna start the timer but you're not going to start playing until half the time is up. And you're dead. And it's over. Did you see how many points you got? Zero. You got zero points. This is a fun game show.

Nick Arcade did the video game gameshow thing better.

Nick Arcade spent like 80% of the game asking questions and doing puzzles that had nothing to do with video games.

Eh, It was entertaining enough, but more in a "good because it's so bad" kind of way IMO. I definitely wouldn't say the format was any good, particularly if you're making video games the central theme of your show.

Anyway, here's a recent interview with host Phil Moore if you wanna see what he's up to these days.

Yeah, because an unaired pilot of a show that ended 36 years ago being on the interwebs was really going to damage their brand.

Copyright law is so fucked

It would just be mobile games.
