Why the fuck were all the kids so fucking bad at playing the games?
>>3091891
pretty sure they picked stupid kids to be on these shows.
I can sort of understand having some nerves because of an audience or camera but for fuck's sake
>>3091892
this
they screened them beforehand
You're now away Joey Fatone was on Nick Arcade.

>Why the fuck were all the kids so fucking bad at playing the games?
Because 90s kids were already fucking spoiled to shit
Real reason:Because Nick Arcade mainly pulled contestants right out of the studio audience that day
Now get started posting inappropriate comments on them jailbait asses (something Starcade lacked completely)
>>3091917
Yeah they must do this to make sure they won't be giving away prizes left, right and centre.
I went on a radio phone in quiz once where they played a fragment of music and you identified it. They asked me my answer before putting me on.
Then just before I was put on I realised my answer was wrong. So I said the proper answer and won a George Harrison CD but they blatantly wanted a wrong answer to fill out the show.

Starcade made me so mad because very few people actually knew how to play this fucking game plus the short time limit all the games had
>>3091963
I'm not sure if it was about prizes. I think it may have been about building suspense and excitement and appealing to a wider audience.
I mean, as a kid I would be screaming at my TV when the kid couldn't figure out how to put the fucking silver monkey together on LotHT. Watching the kids mess up was part of what got me in to the shows on an unconscious level.
Then again, put yourself in the shoes of one of these kids. You're young, put on national television probably for the first time ever, and you are competing against other kids for rad prizes. You'd be probably be pretty nervous.
Still, the kids were definitely screened, just like pretty much every contestant on any gameshow. Not to say all screening is done to choose dumb people.

It begins.
I don't know why they stopped these shows. They were crude early runners sure, then what the hell happened? So many junk primetime gameshows and dozens of 24 hour sports channels, you'd think they could have fitted them in somewhere. Youtube has clearly put an end to the idea that people don't regularly want to watch others play games.

Pretty sure the controllers were either glued onto the cabinet or there was no slack for the cable.

It's all about esports & let's plays now. I feel like video games have became a chore after thePS2

Is she the one that some anon claimed had cancer or something? And that she was a bitch?
>>3091891
I grew up thinking kids played video games.
For some reason this show always ruined that perception...

Not to mention how he finally had the chance for his obsessive replaying of Dragon's Lair to earn him some degree of respect in front of a woman, and yet he goes full spaghetti-spiller.

You mean you're a Sonic fan and never heard of the huge prototype culture behind 2?
>>3092354
DESU I've never even encountered the words "prototype" and "culture" used together so, no. I haven't. As far as I'm aware (and probably 99% of the people who ever played Sonic) that's the music for Starlight Zone.

You're in for a treat then.
