Title: late 80s early 90s tv show
Post by fishtrap72 on 29. Jun 2007 at 04:56

Hay everyone, I'm new to this site and must say there is countless amounts of awsome information surrounding the nes. Anyways, I have a question concerning a certain tv show that aired in the late 80s, early 90s time perios. It was sort of a 'shop to you drop' video game version. It aried early in the morning I remember correctly. There was an announcer and everything, the person was pressed for time to go through mazes and grab as many video games and accersories they could grab before the clock went up. I have been trying to trace this show for years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

I just found it out by searching google. The show is called "Video Power." You can watch some episodes on youtube. The host acts like hes on crack, its hilarious. I suggest you watch. Thanks for the help.

That show was awful, Phil Moore was one awful excuse of a host.

Best video game game show? Starcade from the 80's. Hands. Down.
