I am trying to come up with the name of (and if anyone has any episodes on tape or online) an old 80s tv show.

It is NOT Nick Arcade

I remember most fondly that at the end of the show whoever won got to run through a maze that was setup like a video game store wearing a Velcro outfit. Anything that they could carry with them (or on them) through the maze to the finish they got to keep.

I remember there also being a section where the host (typical 80s over the top host) would give out "game tips" which consisted of stuff you all ready knew if you had an IQ over 50. At some point during hte show I think they asked the young contestants questions about different games in order for them to score points.

The name might have been "game master" or something along those lines.

I know this isn't the best description (and is probably showing my age) but I would really like to see an episode of that show again. I have tried searching the internet but can't seem to come up with anything. Anyone have any ideas?

Someone please tell me I am not going completely crazy...yet.

Video Power Power; Video Power. Feel the poweeeerrrr. Can you feel it.

Yeah I remember that one with Johny Arcade. I was just watching an episode of that about 2 months ago. Man that show was awefull but I loved it.

Where were you watching an episode of it? I would love to see an episode, any episode, just for the memory of it. Any ideas where I could find it?

I have seen some stuff like this on various torrent sites, but they usually have no seeds and around 12 leechers waiting for it. Shame more people don't seed stuff.

No, Fun House was a game show. There's an NES game of it but I don't know much else. I think it was like Double Dare with a bunch of physical challenges and stunts.

Video Power was that show he asked about, I used to watch it and want to be there. Never knew why the kids were so selective, I'd have literally bounced off those walls sticking to everything possible.

PLEASE! If anyone knows where I could find an episode or even a lead on an episode, let me know. I really want to see it again.

I hear ya, but that I can't help ya with. Doesn't seem like the type of thing people would record for later, so I dunno how much luck you'll have unless someone finds the originals (not that this would come to DVD). Then again, the internet is full of surprises...

Did anyone think to check Youtube? I can't believe it but I think I found some pieces.

There's one more about TMNT but there's no sound.

Tell me if you can find the clips where they run through the maze of games at the end dressed in a Velcro outfit...I had dreams about getting to do that when I was little...and I want to see if it is as difficult now as it looked like then.

Actually the end of the third link has that. Like they caught the last 10 minutes of the show. Once I saw it, I think I found out why they're selective. They got like a minute or less.
