STARCADE [Syndication] - FINAL EPISODE

[tmann3x]

Due the lack of interest, I have decided to make episode 2 of Starcade the FINAL EPISODE.

At this moment, I have Immanuel Tims as player 1.  Right now, I'm looking for one more contestant to play.


NOTE:  In order to play Starcade, you must have either a MAME emulator, home console, and or access to play arcade or console games at www.retrogames.cc/


If you want to join in, please let me know and we'll begin the show.

It was deleted due to an ineligible participant.

[tmann3x]

I'm still looking for one more player. Who wants to join in?

[smashwhammy]

i feel like i'm one of the only 3 who ever said anything, besides a DQ'd player and the host... so i'll (re)join

[tmann3x]

Thanks Whammy.

Immanuel... are you ready?

We'll begin the show tomorrow at 1:00pm EST.

[babytims]

I'm still here!

[tmann3x]

We'll begin in just 13 minutes.

[Main Theme]



Kevin McMahan: This is Starcade...


[Whoosh]

TV's first video arcade game show. Starring your favorite video games... and some brand new ones being introduced to the public for the first time anywhere.  And now... here is the host of Starcade... Tony Lane.



[Cheers and Applause]

[Long Applause Continues]



Tony:  Thank you, Kevin.  Good morning, folks... and welcome to Starcade.

We're backstage with our two contestants.  And in the next few minutes, you'll see these two battle it out.  One of them will have the opportunity to win their very own musical jukebox.


Immanuel... Smashwhammy... Are you guys ready to play?

[smashwhammy]

for the last time, yea

[tmann3x]

Immanuel are you ready?

[babytims]

You betcha!

[tmann3x]

OK then.  For the final time... let's play Starcade!


[ Cheers and Applause ]

Now that both players are set, let's introduce them starting with Smashwhammy.

Smash... please tell us about yourself.

[smashwhammy]

I feel a little redundant now, being here again and again

but I run a personal YT channel going on 16 years soon

[tmann3x]

Congrats on your 15 year run on YouTube, Whammy. Good luck to you.

Immanuel, please tell us about you.

[babytims]

I'm a high school senior from Los Angeles, and I also love to act whenever I get the chance!

In my spare time, I love writing, watching movies and stand up specials, board games, hanging out with friends, and of course...watching game shows!

[tmann3x]

Good luck to you, Immanuel.


Our contestants have matched up based on their ability in today's games. And one of you are gonna have a chance to win...

The official Harley-Davidson CD Jukebox!


[ Cheers and Applause ]



Both of you guys shake hands on head on over to your podiums.  And while they prepare themselves, Kevin's gonna tell us about the five games they'll be playing on.







[ Variant Theme ]

Kevin:  In our very last episode of Starcade, we have decided to let our studio audience pick the five games they have requested.  Our first selection is...


[ Whoosh ]

Congo Bongo... it's the hunter versus the giant gorilla.  Next, we have...


[ Whoosh ]

Frogger... the crown prince of hip-hop.  Game number 3 is...


[ Whoosh ]

Pac-Man Plus... a fast and furious pac-sequel.  Up next, we have...


[ Whoosh ]

Jr. Pac-Man.  It's Baby Pac-Man all grown up.  And finally, we have...


[ Whoosh ]

Time Pilot '84.  A time traveler shooting down alien life forms.  Tony...?

Tony:  Thank you, Kevin.  Those were the five games requested from our studio audience.

Before you make a selection, you must answer a video game multiple choice question.  If you buzz in and give me the correct answer, you get to make a selection.  If not, your opponent will choose a game. Behind one of them is our mystery game.  If you select that mystery game, you will win a special prize.  Kevin will now tell our home viewers what is our mystery game.

Kevin:  Today's mystery game is JR. PAC-MAN.



Tony:  OK.  If the both of you are ready... hands on your signal device.  Here's this question...



How many players can simultaneously play in Super Mario Bros Wii?  Is it A)2 or B) 4 ?


*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100.

[tmann3x]

Buzz-code answer:  7


1st:  SMASHWHAMMY (77)
2nd:  IMMANUEL (81)

[BUZZ-IN]


Smashwhammy...?

[smashwhammy]

4 players (Mario, Luigi, and a couple Toads)

[tmann3x]

4 is correct.

[APPLAUSE]


Now that you've ansered it correctly, you get to choose one of the five game.  Which game do you want to play first?

[smashwhammy]

I'll go with Pac-Man + this time

[tmann3x]

Good choice to begin the game.

Kevin, please tell us all about Pac-Man Plus.

[ Variant Theme ]


Kevin:  It's the great one... jazzed up and speeding up... gobbling away faster than ever and more than ever.  With frantic ghosts in pursuit and disappearing mazes just what the Pac-Man needs the most.  It's 1-UP on Pac-Man.  A plus and it's frantic.




Tony:  Smashwhammy is all geared up and ready to go.  Care to share a few tips with you if you don't mind?

[smashwhammy]

i don't mind

not all ghosts turn dark blue every time you eat one of the power pellets, and bonus items (like the un-branded cola can) cause ghosts to go vulnerable AND invisible... for DOUBLE points (400/800/1600/3200)

[tmann3x]

I see about your facts. Let's see what you can do playing it. You'll have 50 seconds to get as many points in Pac-Man Plus.

On your mark... get set... play!

[smashwhammy]

[tmann3x]

[ Buzzer ]


3,550 points.  You may now head back to your post, Whammy.

[ Applause ]



Immanuel, are you ready to score some points?

[babytims]

You betcha!

[tmann3x]

You have 50 seconds in Pac-Man Plus.

On your mark... get set... play!

[babytims]

(God...that was brutal  )

[tmann3x]

You're right... it was indeed brutal.  You have 1,930 points.


[ Main Theme ]


While you take a breather, we'll pause for a commercial time out.  We'll return in a moment as we'll be playing another game here in our final episode of Starcade.  Please stick around.


[ Cheers and Applause ]
