On this day, December 27, 1982, Starcade premiered on WTBS, becoming the first TV show to feature arcade games! The show ran for 3 seasons with 133 episodes, celebrating the booming arcade culture of the 80s.

Contestants would compete for high scores on classic arcade games, with prizes often including video game systems and home electronics. It was a dream come true for gamers of the era and remains a nostalgic favorite for many.
