Starcade
If  you've ever spent more than two minutes watching someone play a video game, you know that few pursuits are quite as boring. With that in mind, how to explain the allure of the '80s TV game show Starcade? Blame it on the cheesiness of the times, the goofy contestants, or the now-primitive video games, but don't underestimate Starcade. It was a gem of gaming's early era that truly must be savored. This comprehensive site takes us back to 1982, when Pac-Man and Dig Dug ruled the arcade, and dexterity with a simple joystick was a highly admirable talent. You'll be introduced to the more than 200 video games (Burger Time, anyone?) that saw battle action in the Starcade arena. The real treat, however, is the Contestant Gallery, featuring updates on the fate of former contestants. A true celebration of gaming's early days, this tribute to Starcade earns the high score.
